Performing Poorly at Work

Cora: What’s up with Rob? He Hasn’t been himself lately.

Doug: You’ve noticed, too, huh?

Cora: Yeah, he’s been missing work and letting things Slip through the cracks. I’ve been Cutting him some slack and Filling in for him, but things haven’t improved.

Doug: I know what you mean. I’d never known Rob To drop the ball on anything until recently. I heard a rumor that he’s having financial problems.

Cora: No, not Rob! He has more Clients than anyone around here.

Doug: Well, he’s been Off his game for a while now, so some of those accounts might have Gone up in smoke.

Cora: Are you going to have a talk with him? Maybe you could help.

Doug: Me? Why me?

Cora: I thought you two were pretty Tight.

Doug: We’re friendly at work, but we’re not really friends. The last thing I want to do is To snoop around in his business.

Cora: But maybe he’s just waiting for A shoulder to cry on. You might be just the person to get him To bare his soul.

Doug: Spoken just like a woman! You all think we men are waiting to bare our souls and to let our Emotions out. Just leave Rob alone to solve his own problems.

Cora: Spoken just like a Cold-hearted man!
