THE CEO

ADRIAN

Marcia

I don’t see Heather Barrett on the orientation list for tomorrow…

Because she wasn’t hired.

We just lost ANOTHER exec we have to replace.

Then tell Human Resources.

Why didn’t you hire Miss Barrett?

Personal reasons. Plus she owes us money. Seems counterintuitive.

Also, you AND Theresa are forbidden from signing off on any seven-figure deals without me from here on out.

Hire Miss Barrett, or I’ll quit.

You would never.

I can’t keep managing a short-staffed team and expecting to deliver high-level results.

Then hire more people.

You know what I realized this morning?

That I hate text messaging. Will you stop now?

I have enough paid time off to take the next six months off, and last time I checked I’m not replaceable.

Fine. I’ll hire her.

DO IT NOW.
