"Cara, I'm sorry, but none of the stores in this region have done well this year. If I could transfer you, I would, but every location in the state is laying people off. There's nowhere for you to go. I hate to lose you; you're one of the best on the team. But we needed to make cuts. It hurts us all, but we have to do what we can to stay financially solvent."


"What a way to start the new year, unemployed. Fuck you too, Frank."


"Hey, don't take this out on me. I tried to keep you. But when the management team discussed it, I was outnumbered. Besides, this is partially your own fault. Your sales figures could have been better."


"You just said I was one of the best team members!"


"Well, yeah. Perfect attendance, no disciplinary write-ups, polite to customers. But as responsible and hardworking as you are, somehow you don't bring in as much money as the people who skip their shifts, show up late, violate dress code, and piss people off. I can't explain it, but it's true. And right now, management is more concerned with our financially bottom line; we're looking out for the money. You just don't bring in enough. I'm sorry."
