Work

Now where was the communal kitchen? Ah there it is, here we go let’s just put the lunch box in.

“John! There you are, thank god we thought you died!” And who is it? Of course, the development manager Winston. He was in his 30s but having a slightly smaller stature, and baby face, he often was mistaken to be an entry level employee

“Winston! Hey how’s it going man? I’m going to need an progress update on the newer projects.”

“Yeah we got the planning done, we still got until the June so don’t worry about us we were really worried when your dad told us you were in the hospital.”

“Hey trust me, if I could, I would’ve been working with you guys, but apparently, “relaxing and making sure your in pristine condition” was more important.”

“You do know that if you were in here, or working from the hospital, at least half the executives and a lot of us would have quit from your dad being a bad boss right?”

“Yeah he already told me.” Chuckling. “So you guys seem to have everything under control, I’ll just go around checking on how the members and if they need help.”

And then as we leave and I go walk to see my employees, some wannabe hot-shot CEO was an intern maybe based on how old he looks walks in bumping into Winston. Spilling his coffee, thankfully mostly on the floor and his shoes

“Hey watch it nerds, I just got the internship here, so move along and go back home after your failed interview.”

Ignoring him. “Ah shit, Winston, did you get any on your shirt?”

“Nope, I dodged most of it thankfully.”

“Ah shit, you guys should probably get to work, I’ll get the janitor.” A passing colleague said

“Hey, you apologize.” Pointing at the college student, “you just ran into him.”

“Uh why would I need to apologize? You losers didn’t get the internship you clearly aren’t good enough to work here, there’s only 3 positions available and I already met the other two.”

“Woah, hey there son, i don’t think you should be insulting him” gesturing to me. “And I don’t think you should be this pompous about it.”

“Why not? You two clearly aren’t on my level, peasants now get out of the way or I’m talking to HR about this. I need a work environment without people bothering me.”

“Actually, that’s perfect for me. Winston tell the team I’ll be down shortly and get the rest of the interns that came today. I need to go to HR anyway.”

“John you sure? I mean you probably could get him fired here and now.”

“Ha nice bluff, but there’s no way he’s going to fire me he’s not the boss.”

Ignoring him again “let’s give him a fighting chance. Besides, I want to teach the other interns a lesson as well.”

“You got it John, I get them to be there in 10 minutes.”

“Thanks” Winston walks off “you follow me, I don’t want any of the sass either understand?”

“Whatever.” Rolling his eyes
