“Shouldn’t I talk to our director fi rst and then our new manager?”
“Oh, no. That would be unnecessary. The director has been here too long; the director won’t help you but will only laugh at you. The new young manager, who knows nothing about you, can help you with nothing but trouble instead. You deal with Marsh everyday and he jokes with you. Besides, he is very happy as he just got promoted. It’s maybe the best chance you can ever have.”
