BEC情景对话：Performance Reviews

Dialogue One

M:  Let's go over Friday's performance reviews. 

F:  Most of them are pretty positive,  take Tow Clerk for example,  he's extraverted,  which makes him a very effective salesman,  you can see his sales for this quarter are arrecute high for our conpany,  he's also easy - going and very friendly,  and that to his good look,  and you can see why he's so popular,  and end of our office. 

M:  Yes,  I've also heard he's a lady's man,  well that is actualy a strike against him as performan review,  it seems like he has trouble keeping his private life and professional life separate,  he's been involved in severy office romances that it'd been detremental to emloyee professionalism and performance. 

F:  He was sensored for the two incidents and since then he has corrected his behaviour,  I think that says a lot for his character. 

M:  Do you recommend him for a raise then?

F:  I think he is deserving a promotion,  because he has brought a lot of profits to the company. 

M:  What about John Martin? His report wasn't so hard,  he's always making excuses,  he has no common sense,  and he lacks responsibility. 

F:  You can see his sales record,  it's less than impressive,  he's hard to deal with,  after desplaying his action,  he complained to the board of directors with charges of decrimination,  it seems he always ignore his faults and criticise others. 

M:  Just between you and me,  I can't stand the guy! But it's very difficult to fire him,  he led this position because his parents,  they are very influential stockholders. 

Dialogue Two

M:  All the numbers were done for performan reviews this week,  our sales department failed the test. 

F:  What was the problem?

M:  In general,  our personal reviews were all right,  the boss said he liked our enthusiasm and dedication,  there were no negative reviews for any of our sales people personally,  but the problem was our sales numbers have been two low for two long,  we're in a real slum. 

F:  That's not necessarily our fault,  the market slow down a lot,  so people just aren't buying they used to,  that isn't our fault. 

M:  Yes,  but it affects our sales in a major way,  and therefore affects our perpormance,  somtimes it's all about of the bottom line. 

F:  What do they suggest we do?

M:  In yesterday's meeting,  the boss suggested we take more aggressive sales approach,  we need stronger advertising and stronger atitude,  what were found for last year just won't cut it this year,  he wants stronger sales.
