Ned

Hi, Kat.

Do you have a minute?

I would like to talk to you about one of my employees.

His name is Robert.

Kat

Sure, Ned.

What's on your mind?

Well, Robert is doing an amazing job.

He's very responsible.

He finishes assignments ahead of schedule and always does good work.

I would like to promote him.

---

Ned

Right now he is a sales associate.

But I would like to promote him to a senior associate.

Kat

Okay. How long has he been at the company?

Ned

Well, he has been here for about six months.

He joined the company in April.

---

Kat

Hmm. I can't allow it, Ned.

Robert sounds great.

But employees need to work for a year until they can be promoted.

That's the company policy.

Ned

I know.

But can't we break the rules?

I need responsible people on the senior team.

---

Kat

The rules are the rules, Ned.

He's not been here long enough.

There's nothing I can do.

Ned

But Robert has worked really hard.

I want to help him now.

Kat

Well, give him more responsibilities.

You can promote him in six months if he's still doing well.

Ned

That's good advice.

I'll do that.

And I will let you know how he's doing.

Kat

Please do!
