Make the Call (Eavesdropping)




English, baby! Daily Podcasts show

Summary: It’s not easy to be the boss. Often, the boss has to make important and difficult decisions. For example, should the company hire new employees? Or should the company fire some employees? It’s the same for presidents and parents. Presidents must decide which laws should pass and what is best for the country. Parents also have a tough job, too, especially if they have teens. A parent might need to make the call on whether a teen can stay out late on a school night. To make the call means to make a decision. This is why bosses, presidents, parents, and other leaders are always making the call. They are responsible for making choices that affect other people. If people think that a leader makes the right call most of the time, that leader can become very popular. However, sometimes parents and bosses make the call on something that makes their child or employee very unhappy. In that case, the child or employee will wish they could make the call instead. It’s very slippery out, and Kelsey might reschedule today’s shoot. Will she make the call?
