| Jay: | Sorry to hear that! What went wrong? |
| Alex: | Everything! That’s what happens when instead of being down to earth and listen to us, management decides to “go with the flow”! |
| Jay: | I hear you! Well, do you think there’s a chance to get out of the woods? |
| Alex: | No, I think that happens only once in a blue moon; we won’t be so lucky… Probably I need to look for another job. |
