“Paul, I have to say your review doesn’t look so good this year.” “What? Mr. Jenkins, you’ve never complained about my work before!” “Your job performance is fine, Paul, that’s not the problem.” “Our company won awards this year!” “No, Paul, it seems the problem lies in your people skills.” “What?” “It’s here in your file. There have been issues with how you deal with those around you, and we take that sort of thing seriously at this company.” “Someone complained about me? Who complained about me?” “I really can’t divulge—“ “Just tell me. Was it Lucille? Did she complain about me? Anyone could have dropped the mustard bucket on her at the picnic, it was just dumb luck I happened to be—“ “No, it wasn’t Lucille, I can tell you that much.” “Then who?” “Let’s just say there are people in your network who are unhappy with how you deal with them.” “How I—I barely deal with anybody, I usually stay to myself. Heh, about the only time I see anyone I recognize is on my Facebook page…” “Yes, well.” “…You’re kidding me.” “I did say in your network.”
