M: Hey, Lisa. Want to grab lunch with me?
W: Sure.
M: Yeah. You seem sort of under the weather. Is there something wrong?
W: Well, keep this under your hat, but I think I’m going to quit after New Year.
M: Quit this company? Oh...wow.
W: I know I should be pretty happy here, but I’m not finding the kind of job satisfaction I need. I’m a good graphic designer.
M: One of the best in the company.
W: That’s kind of you to say so.(6)But the stuff we do here hasn’t really challenged me very much at all.
M: Oh, I get it. Simply put: you’re bored, huh?
W: That’s one way of putting it. For me, a job needs to stimulate my brain: otherwise it becomes a daily drudgery. Another thing is that I don’t feel there is a decent chance of promotion.
M: That’s true.(7)Salaries have been frozen for a while and I hear next year it’s the same story.
W: I’m finding that(8)I spend a lot of time at work just sitting at my cubicle daydreaming or wasting time. I can’t sleep on Sunday nights because I know I have to go back to work the next day.
M: Wow...it sounds like you’re suffering from serious job dissatisfaction. I guess you really do need a change.
W: The other problem is that I think the company is really set in its ways.
M: What do you mean?
W: In other words, I think management is resistant to change.(9-1)I’ve given great proposals to my section chief and I’ve even sent e-mails with ideas on how to streamline operations to the big boss, but the reaction is always the same.
M: What do they say when you offer suggestions?
W:(9-2)Usually something like: " We’ll take a look and get back to you. " But that’s the last thing I’ll ever hear from them.
M: So, do you have any job prospects lined up?
W:(10)I’ve been sending out resumes and I’ve got a couple of bites.
M: I see. So you’ve pretty much made up your mind to quit then?
W: I think so.
M: Can I make a suggestion?
W: Sure!
M: Don’t burn any bridges when you make your move.
W: What do you mean?
M: I mean, don’t tell the boss you hate your job or him. Simply inform them that you plan to resign from your position and do your best to train your replacement. That way, this company can remain a back-up option for you.
W: You make a good point. I’ll try to be as professional about this as possible. Thanks! Talking to you makes me feel much better.
M: Sure! Now let’s eat!
