Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ He’s not a Good Fit (C0035)
A: So, Lauren, I just wanted to talk to you quickly about our new customer support representative, Jason Huntley.
B: Sure, what’s up?
A: Basically, I’ve got a few concerns about him, and the bottom line is, I don’t think he’s a good fit for our company.
B: Okay... what makes you say that? I thought you were pleased with his overall performance. Didn’t you just tell me last week how impressed you were with his attitude?
A: Yeah, his attitude is great, but he’s really unreliable. Sometimes he’s really productive, but then other times... take last Tuesday for instance, he was forty-five minutes late for our morning meeting!
B: Well, I’m sure he had a perfectly good reason...
A: But that’s not the only thing... you know, he really doesn’t have the best work ethic, I’m constantly catching him on MSN and Facebook when he should be talking to clients.
B: Yeah, but come on, Geoff, as if you don’t check Facebook at work. Look, you hired this guy, we’ve invested a lot of time and money in his training, so now it’s up to you to coach him. Make it work, Geoff!
A: Make it work, Geoff. You would say that, wouldn’t you, he is your cousin; what a jerk, make me hire your stupid, useless, cousin.

⑦ Why do you want to get a new computer？This one is perfectly good. I can't believe you're going to throw out your Ipad. That's perfectly good. I'm sure you have a perfectly good reason for being late. I was so productive at the work today. I manage to finish three important projects.

⑥ When you're late for meetings, you delay the whole team. That's the bottom line. There are a few problems, but overall I think it's doing a good job. There are a few mistakes here, but overall this is a good report. Overall we'd been very successful this year.

⑨ You promised me you would pick me up from work today. You are so unreliable.

⑧ I can't be productive with all this noise. We wanna be very productive next week. We have to work hard enough this week to finish everything. The trains here are so unreliable. They never arrive on time. Thomas is pretty unreliable. He never finishes his projects on time.

④ Francis has a really good work ethic. He always finishes his projects on time. The people in this company don't have a strong work ethic. If you want to be a lawyer, you have to have a really good work ethic. I need you to spend some time coaling the new sales associate.

③ I interviewed someone today. I don't think he would be a good fit for our company. You will be a really good fit for the position. You have all the right skills and experience. I don't know. Do you think she will be a good fit？

⑤ I'm not very good at running meetings. Can you coal me？ Jim is coaling me on presentation skills. We just won't be able to finish this project on time. That's the bottom line. The bottom line is that your work is not good enough.
