TPTB: Now Lanna, I’ve been told by your previous boss that you have unusual ways of avoiding performance reviews.
Lanna: Yep!
TPTB: speaks to her slowly her as if she is a small child.
Now Lanna, my dear, why would you that?
Lanna's eyes narrow dangerously at the patronistic tone.
Lanna: I avoid them because they are a waste of time. I give you and your kind regular feedback in weekly simple to understand "hit by a bus" status reports. However, you and Powers That Have Been (PTHB), decide at random intervals to make all us hard and diligent workers dance a strange jig to justify their existence when you should be giving us, the actual workers, equally regular and informative feedback.
TPTB: What did you do to avoid your last performance review?
Lanna: I adopted three children from Poland.
TPTB: You can't do that again, can you?
Lanna: Nope!
TPTB: Ah ha! So you'll have to submit to a performance review. I am the best manager ever!
As Solies, Emma, and Blinky wait their turn for the performance review, they hear in the distance a faint yip and then a small thud as a limp body careens to the ground.
Emma: Told you we could get a day's delay in our performance reviews and time for a long lunch if we let Lanna go first. Where should we go for lunch, "Where's Wayne?" or "Mango Pudding"?
