C: are you ready for the meeting?
A: yes, come on in. how's your new job going?
C: it's challenging, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
A: that's great. I knew you'd do a good job as a manager.
C: thanks a lot.
A: how's your assistant manager getting on?
C: well, that's part of the problem. His probation period is up tomorrow and I don't think he's ready to pass.
A: what seems to be the problem?
C: well, he was supposed to be able to learn his job in 30 days, but he just doesn't seem to know what he's doing.
A: if you gave him another 30 days, do you think he could fihure it out by then?
C: to be honest, he has no authority. He's a hard-worker, but no one listens to him.
A: I see. Not everyone is cut out to work in management.
C: I know. It'd be great if we could transfer him to a department where he doesn't have to work with people.
A: there's an opening in the creative design department. It involves working with computers.
C: that's perfect. I'll let him know tomorrow. Thanks!
