David: No One Ever Gets To Do This

“Johnson!”

“Yes, Mr. Johnson?”

“I want that Johnson report on my desk by five o’clock or you’re fired!”

“Are you serious? I’ve been here nine years. I get my work done in a timely manner. My performance reviews are always above average or better.”

“What’s your point?”

“Given my work history, even if I were to fail to finish in time, I’m still one of the best employees here. I understand you feel the need to motivate me, but instilling fear for my job is not the way to go. It’ll be done by five.”

“Hmm. Yes. Well. Carry on.”
