Personnel Director: You don’t get ahead in this world by calling your boss a pimp.
Tess: Well,he is.
Personnel Director: I’m looking at your file here. This is the third time in six months I had to place you.
Tess: Wasn’t my fault.
Personnel Director: Where have I heard that before?
Tess: Ruth,look,I’m thirty years old. It took me five years in night school,but I got my degree and I got it with honors. I know I could do a job. I mean you ask any of my bosses even Lutz if Tess McGill hasn’t called a few.
Personnel Director: You ask them. I don’t think they’re gonna sing your praises,Tess. Here’s something for you,transferring down from Boston. I heard there’s an acquisition,Nane and Parker,starts Monday.
Tess: OK.
Personnel Director: You go home and cool off.
Tess: OK.
Personnel Director: Tess.
Tess: Yeah.
Personnel Director: This is the last time I can help you. Four strikes you’re out.
Katherine Parker: Well,I think he’s in an underwater position. All right,so that’s our first and second call,and then we’ll see where we are. Right,I’ll count the minutes. Bye. Thanks. So,Tess,a few ground rules. The way I look at it,you are my link with the outside world. People’s impression of me starts with you. You’re tough when it’s warranted,accommodating when you can be,you’re accurate,you’re punctual and you never make a promise you can’t keep. I’m never on another line,I’m in a meeting. I consider us a team Tess and as such we have a uniform,simple,elegant,impeccable. Dress shabbily they notice the dress. Dress impeccably,they notice the woman. Coco Channel.
Tess: How am I look?
Katherine: You look terrific. You might want to rethink the jewelry. I want your input Tess. I welcome your ideas and I like to see hard work rewarded. It’s a two-way street on my team. Am I making myself clear?
Tess: Yes,Katherine.
Katherine: And call me Katherine.
Tess: OK.
Katherine: So,let’s get to work,shall we? This department’s profile last year was damn pitiful. Our team has got its work cut out for it. OK,thanks.
