June: What? What did I do wrong? Big John: Nothing. Corporate is trying to light a fire under this store because our sales are so low. So they're sending a new assistant manager, a specialist in efficiency, to take your place. June: When is he going to arrive? Big John: She is already here. Her name is Sarah, and I've already called a meeting to introduce her to the staff. ......... Big John: It's time for you people to get moving around here. Show some initiative. And I have just the gal to help. Meet Sarah. She's your new assistant manager. Sarah has been sent here by corporate to bring some efficiency into this outfit. Sarah: Thank you the introduction, Big John. Big John: I'll be in my office if you need me. Sarah: Thank you! (Big John Leaves) Sarah: While it is just so nice to be here with you, my visit here isn't going to be all fun and games. I'm going to be interviewing you and giving you performance evaluations and perhaps even removing some of the employee baggage. That should help us achieve synergy.
