Who Is to Be Promoted?
(The Personnel Department is having a meeting.Joan Black is the chairperson of the meeting.)
Joan: I think John Jeffrey\'s already been with the company for 20 years.Surely he\'s not still expecting promotion.Do you agree, Peter?
Peter: Well.in my opinion, John\'s always shown great loyalty to the company.It\'s time this was rewarded.What do you think, Clive?
Clive: It\'s not just a question of loyalty.Would he be any good at the job? He would need to manage a small team -- he\'s got no experience of that yet.
Peter: He never will have any experience unle we give him a chance!
Joan: We can\'t afford to be sentimental.I don\'t think he\'s the man for the job.He\'s always been a follower, not a leader.Let\'s move on to the other candidates.Rita Hayden has already shown great personnel management skill, I feel, even if she\'s ...
Peter: Oh, come on, Joan! Rita\'s still learning her trade! We can\'t afford to take a risk with someone so inexperienced.
Clive: I agree with Peter.I favor Susan Palmer.She\'s got a lot of experience.She\'s already worked in the department on other occasions so she knows the ropes and she\'s ...
Joan: But Susan\'s always struck me as a bit cautious.We need someone dynamic for this job.
Peter: I\'d agree with Clive.I think Susan Palmer would do a good job.Maybe she\'s a bit cautious but she\'s solid, reliable...We need those qualities too.
Joan: Well, if you\'re both so sure, I suppose I\'ll have to agree.Still, we\'ll wait a week before confirming it just in case any other applicants put their names forward.
