Conversation #4

Man: Maria, welcome back. It's so nice to see you again.

Woman: Thanks. I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I would stop by and say hello to everyone.

Man: Well, sadly some of the people you used to work with have been let go.

Woman: Oh, that is too bad. I see that Katie is still here though. That is good to see.

Man: Yes, she's been transferred to HR.

Woman: Oh, that's good. What about Bob over there?

Man: Oh, Bob, yeah, he's done alright for himself. He's been promoted to VP of sales.

Woman: Well, it's good to see that some things have been for the better. Yes, we've been downsized a bit, but we're still going strong.
