Andy: Doesn’t it make you sick? We
bust our butts around here and the
boss brings in his nephew to be the new
manager.
Nia: You never know. He may be a good
boss.
Andy: I doubt it. He’s getting this opportunity
just because he was born with a silver
spoon in his mouth. He didn’t have
to pull himself up by his bootstraps
like the rest of us.
Nia: I’m going to wait and see how he is as a
manager. I’m hoping to be pleasantly
surprised.
Andy: If you’re a blue blood like he
is, born into privilege and old
money, you can do no wrong.
Nia: That’s not true. He’ll be held
accountable for how this department
performs.
Andy: But when does somebody like me
get a break? Okay, I was born on
the wrong side of the tracks. I grew
up in a white trash neighborhood.
So what? I’ve worked hard to get
where I am now. That guy hasn’t paid his
dues like I have.
Nia: You can complain all you want, but it
doesn’t change the situation. He’s the new
boss and we work for him. Get used
to it.
Andy: Get used to it?! Not on your
life!
