Episode 2: Mr. Jones Gets Promoted
Linda (Mr. Evil's Secretary):
Mr. Evil will see you now Mr. Jones.
Jones: Thank you
Linda.
Evil: Jones thank
you for coming up here on your day off. I'll try to make this
worth your while. I have been hearing good things about the
work that you have been doing down in the production floor
restroom. The men all seem to be rather taken with you. I
believe that you have some real management potential. How
would you like to assume some additional duties and gain some
long overdue recognition?
Jones: I would like
that sir.
Evil: Well, we have
a real need for someone with your talents and abilities to
step up and take over the supervision of the men's locker
room.
Jones: The men's
locker room?
Evil: Yes, Jones
the men's locker room. It will mean some added responsibility
and exposure for you. I want you to know that I'm really taking
a chance on you here Jones. But between you and me, I think
you're up to the challenge.
Jones: How large
of a crew will I oversee?
Evil: Well, Jones
at this point you will have no direct reports, but it is technically
a supervisory position.
Jones: Who will take
over my current duties?
Evil: Well, Jones,
with the most recent round of budget cuts we've all been forced
to shoulder a little heavier load around here. At this point
I would ask that you continue to perform the restroom maintenance
duties until we can find someone to relieve you.
Jones: Will there
be a raise involved?
Evil: Jones I'm giving
you far more than a raise here. I'm giving you an opportunity
to really shine. Keep up this kind of work and you'll go far
with this organization. There will be plenty of time for talk
of pay increases once we see how you adjust to these new duties.
Linda (via intercom):
Mr. Evil, I have confirmed your tee time for this
afternoon.
Evil: Er, ah thank
you Linda.
Evil: Listen, Jones.
I'd really like to stay and chat with you but I've got some
rather important commitments this afternoon.
Jones: But what about
the shift change you promised me?
Evil: Jones, we live
in a dynamic environment here. We all made an implicit commitment
to this organization to do what it takes to get the job done.
Sometimes that means that we have to stay fluid.
Jones: Fluid?
Evil: Yes, Jones
fluid, flexible, willing to roll with the punches... Now if
you don't mind, I need to take care of a few things before
my
ah
off-site engagement this afternoon. Besides,
I can imagine you are anxious to get home and share the good
news with your family.
Jones: Yes, of course.
Evil: Oh, and Jones,
don't make me sorry I took this chance on you.
Jones: No sir.
-- Jones Exits --
Jones (via intercom):
Linda, cancel the ad for the extra part-time help
- and get my caddy on the line.
