| Sally is talking to her boss about if she will be able to keep her job or not. She has had a great deal of unexpected absences, and is "apprehensive" that she might lose her job. |
|
 | I really appreciate you giving me an "anecdote" of your aunts death; but I can not have you gone even one more day. | |
|
| Why me? It was not my fault Aunt Alice died, and Uncle Ed had to move in with me. I really wish all this had not happened. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| The boss really had no chose, but to "articulate" what he was thinking. |
|
| I really do not what to "belittle" you, after all you have been through. But I will really have to think about keeping you. | |
|
| Okay | |
|
|
|
|
|
| After much thinking, the boss decidedÂ… |
|
| Since you have been so well known for hardworking, I have decided to keep you on the job. | |
|
| Thank you so much. You work so hard. I will try to use your example to "aspire" me. | |
