Negotiations: resolving difficulties






Mark: Sara, can I have a word please, in my office? Now then. I won’t take long about this, I’ll come straight to the point. We had a chat...

Sara: Yeah.

Mark: At that point, I wasn’t particularly happy with the way that you were behaving in the office, the way that you were being uncooperative, a little bit surly with people. And since then, frankly, I’ve seen very little change.

Sara: Well, I mean, I think I’ve made an effort, trying to be helpful like I normally am with people, and I feel that I’m still doing my job - not that the job’s very interesting. I think it’s become less interesting since Maria got the promotion. I think she’s getting some more of the interesting work.

Mark: Okay, well I’m afraid that, despite what you say, it hasn’t come across. I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, but you have taken quite a bit of time off … and …

Sara: Yeah, but you’re allowed to take leave, aren’t you?


Mark: You are allowed to take leave. Hopefully you come back from leave refreshed and you leave your problems at home.
