Quitting a Job
Good morning, Lisa.
What was it you wanted to see me about?
Eh, good morning.
Thanks for seeing me on such short notice I know it's a busy time for you.
That's okay, Lisa.
I can see that you're upset about something.
Is something wrong?
Yes, actually there is, and I've been thinking about it a lot.
To make it?short, I've decided to leave the company.
How was Lisa feeling? She is upset about something.
She has been?thinking about it a lot.
You are going to leave?
Yes, I think it's best, I'm really not happy here anymore.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Have you found another job?
No, it isn't that.
My husband and I have just decided that I really don't need to work.
What have she and her husband decided ? she doesn't need a job
She has decided to quit because she's not happy working there.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that you want to leave.
But I really want you to reconsider.
You've only been here for a year.
That isn't very long, and it won't help your resume if you decide to look for a job in the future.
Yes, that may be true, but staying here is really stressful.
You may not be aware of it, but I have real problems with my?supervisor, Bill.
Why is her job so stressful? She doesn't like working with her supervisor.
She's been working there for about a year.
She?has some serious problems working with her supervisor.
Oh, what kind of problems?
He takes on projects and assigns them to me with no?regard?from?my?other responsibilities.
It's just too much.
Then he?takes?all the?credit for?my work.
Maybe I'm just too sensitive.
Yes, I know he can act that way, and I have told him it's an area he needs to improve.
Anyway, there are people like that in every organization.
To take credit for something means to claim responsibility for the results.
I know it's difficult, but you need to learn how to deal with people like him.
Well, I don't know.
It's really stressful.
It isn't easy for me to talk to him.
Listen, Lisa.
You have great?potential, and I don't want to lose you.
If you already had a job offer, I wouldn't stand in your way.
But since you don't, I really want you to stay.
I appreciate your?saying that.
It means a lot.
What another word for potential? ability
So will you please reconsider your decision?
Yes, I'll talk to my husband.
As for Bill, please try to work with him for a bit longer.
This is part of your learning experience.
Thanks, I really appreciate your advice.
You are a great sales person.
I'm feeling better already.
You are welcome, Lisa.
I need you to stay.
Please give it at least another year.
What advise does she?give it to Lisa? to reconsider her decision and?stay for at least another year
She has?sold?Lisa on the idea of staying for another year.
