Well, Anthony, this is not going to be an easy con- versation. The company has made some deci- sions which will have a direct impact on your em- ployment.

Okay...

I don’t want to beat around the bush so I’m just gonna come out with it. We are going to have to let you go.
a
What? Why? I mean... just like that? I’m fired?
b
I’m sorry but, to be honest, you are a terrible em- ployee!
a
What! I resent that!
