MG, can I come in a minute?
Sure, Nina. What's up?
I just wanted to make sure everything's going okay for you in here.
Sure. It's great.
Isn't it wonderful to have your own office? I bet you feel like you don't know how you managed, all that time in a little cubicle with no light.
Yeah, it's true.
Well, I just wanted to apologize again for the way everything happened before. We were all discussing, should we tell her? Does she already know?
Yeah. No, I really had no idea what was going on.
Well, we weren't sure, exactly. And then we weren't sure who should be the one to bring it up, or how.
So that's why I ended up hearing that I was replaced from the computer tech guy.
No, no. Well, yes. That wasn't on purpose, of course, we didn't plan that. None of us ever talk to him, it was just sort of a happy accident. Okay, okay, not so happy at the time, maybe, for you, but it took a little bit of pressure off the rest of us.
Nina, not to dwell on the past, but it definitely stressed me out. I hope in the future--
I know, I know! We've talked all about it. I think this really ended up being a fantastic learning opportunity for all of us. I think, in the end, it taught us a lot about communication, and I think it will end up really strengthening our team, and our team work processes.
Well, just as long as--
Believe me, MG, the boss was really upset about the whole thing, we've been over everything, and I don't think you'll find any more problems here. And if you do for some reason, I want you to promise that you'll come to me right away. I don't want you to wait until something is really bothering you again to come forward. Communication is everyone's responsibility, you know.
Okay, because when I was trying to get answers, I really felt like I tried to--
We all tried, MG. We all tried our best, we all try our best, and that's what makes this such a fabulous place to work.
Okay. Well, Nina, since we're communicating, do you know anything more about what I'm going to be doing?
Oh, no. No. I haven't heard anything about that. At all. MG, that reminds me, have you tried Joni's coffee? I don't know how she does it, but she brews a fresh pot every morning, and it is outstanding. I'm heading that way, why don't I go ahead and grab you a cup?
Sure, Nina. What's up?
