  讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-A rant against consumerism

  "The situation is really not that complicated, Mike. The company simply has a compendium of charges that have been compiled against you and they just don't want you to work here any more! There's no thing I can do to help you!"

  "Aw c'mon, Mr. Moan. We're old compatriots in this company. We’ve always shared compartments and I thought we had such compatible characteristics! I'm as competent as you are with often more compelling excuses for our bosses as to why we missed the completion of project deadlines! You need me!"

  "Actually not, Mike. Ever since they promoted me, they have been compelling me to get rid of you.And please don't make any comparison to your lying ways and my honest mistakes."

  "Okay okay. You are an honest man. But hey, who will get you complementary tickets to see the Bulls if I'm gone?"

  "Mike. For now let' s compartmentalize our friendship from work, okay? They have great compensation for you! And if you are in compliance with leaving, they will write a glowing recommendation for you about your competence, so that you can go and get a job with the competition! They've taken all of the complexity out of it for you!"

  "Really? So how will they compensate me? Hey, you're right, that's not a complex deal at all. I can take a long vacation! Okay. I'll take it. But no more free tickets for you buddy. You're the competition now! Some kind of friend you turned out to be!"
