| Week 6 Assignment Status: Adam was terminated after week 5 of our contest. Week 5 Assignment Status: Voted To Fire: Spare Brain Task: Question: Opinion Response: Ok, taking that much from the company is not good. A small dinner, maybe, but $400? Let's hope after $400 that I would be able to stand upright and walk properly the next day so I could even make it to work, much less worry about the consequences. Week 4 Assignment Status: Voted To Fire: Crystal Task: Question: Opinion Response: First, of course, try to sneak in and not be noticed. If successful, work past normal business hours to make up for it. Practice crying in the car while on the way to work just in case the tardiness was noticed, then draw from your well of tears on cue and say your cat had a heart attack and went to kitty heaven. Week 3 Assignment Status: Voted To Fire: Trixxie Task: Question: Opinion Response: "I wish I could help you out, but I have no way to back out of my plans. I know it puts you in a crunch, but it is just impossible to drop this trip." And then if the boss starts in on how there might not be a desk to return to, then I'd say "I've put in 10 good years in this company and a lousy 4 days is going to get me canned? ... And you think I'm worried about being jobless? I'll be picked up in a snap by XYZ Corp (our competitor) once they find out I'm free." Week 2 Assignment Status: Voted To Fire: Had Monday off last week, no vote Task: Question: Opinion Response: Talk to the manager and tell her that your mother was recently in the hospital without health insurance and you're having to foot the bill. Then say you are really hoping that with the recent layoffs that you aren't on the list to go so you can keep up with the payments. The manager should get the hint and hopefully give you some insight whether you are safe or should be looking for more work to pay off mom's surgery. Week 1 Assignment Status: Voted To Fire: Shamu Task: Question: Opinion Response: I'd say I thought I saw a potential client out there having a smoke. My boss wouldn't dare upset a client by telling him not to smoke. Then maybe I'd offer to ask maintenance to put a sand pail out there for the butts if that was his problem with it. Besides, who cares if you smoke, so long as you do it outside and it doesn't take any extra break time than what you already get? Registration Question: "Your best friend (and co-worker) has been seen idling at the mall on company time by the company snitch. What do you do to help your friend out of this untimely jam?" Adam's Response: "I would casually mention to the snitch how my friend's grandmother would take my friend to the mall every year on that day to pick out something special. It was her way of saying that he was special to her no matter what day of the year it was. And now that she passed away, this is the first year she hasn't been there, but he wanted to honor her memory by going and sitting in the mall for a while and picking something up for himself like she would have wanted. And isn't that just the sweetest thing you ever heard?" |
