City on Fire - Opportunity for Department Switch
Herman Stover:
Mr. Clark? Herman Stover.
Mr. Clark:
Oh yes, yes of course. Come in, Stover. (Herman sits down) Stover, we have an opening in Research. We'd like you to consider switching to that department.
Herman Stover:
Research?
Mr. Clark:
Interesting opportunities in that branch, you know?
Herman Stover:
12 years in Maintenance, they promised me I'd make Foreman.
Mr. Clark:
Your aptitude test showed that you'd serve the company better in Research & Development.
Herman Stover:
(Herman stands up to leave) I-I belong in Maintenance. I don't know anything about "research" - I'm in Maintenance.
Mr. Clark:
I take this to mean that you won't accept the transfer?
Herman Stover:
I wanna be Foreman.
Mr. Clark:
The committee already decided on Kershaw.
Herman Stover:
Kershaw?! I ain't workin for Kershaw!
Mr. Clark:
Very well. (writes up a notice of termination) You'll get the usual severance pay and one week's vacation. (hands paper to Herman) You can present this to the paymaster. Good luck, Stover.
