The New Boss

M: You know, Kim, I think our new boss doesn’t like me. I don’t understand why. W: That’s not true, Trevor! Why, just this morning I heard her say you’re a very good employee. She said you work very hard every day. M: That’s news to me. I wish she would say it to me, but she just criticizes everything I do. W: I think that you’re being too sensitive. M: Do you really think so? Maybe I just need a vacation. I haven’t had one for years. W: It’s not good to work so hard, Trevor. I think a vacation is a great idea. M: How about you? Are you happy at work these days? W: Yes, I’m really enjoying working for this new boss. That’s why I’m surprised that you think she criticizes your work. Actually, I think she is helping you to improve your work. She’s just trying to help. M: I didn’t realize that. Now that I think about it, you’re right. I feel much better. W: Good! Let’s go for lunch!
