Rent or Quit
房屋中介
Karen had a new job. She was a real estate agent. Clients called her up. Clients emailed her. Clients wanted an apartment. Karen showed them apartments. The clients didn’t like the apartments. Karen showed them more apartments. The clients still didn’t like the apartments. She showed many apartments to many clients. But nobody rented an apartment. Tanya was Karen’s boss. Tanya yelled at Karen. “You have worked here for four months,” she yelled. “You haven’t rented one apartment yet. You are no good. You should quit. You should find another job. You are not a good real estate agent.” Karen said, “I am a good real estate agent. But my clients have a big problem. They all want a penthouse, but they only have enough money for the basement.” Tanya said that was not her problem. That was Karen’s problem. “I will give you two more weeks,” Tanya said.
凱倫有了新工作。她是房屋中介代理。客戶給她打電話。給她發郵件。客戶想租房。凱倫帶他們看房。客戶不滿意這些房子。凱倫帶他們去看更多的房子。客戶還是不喜歡。她又帶客戶看去看房。但沒人愿意租房。塔尼婭是凱倫的老板。塔尼婭對凱倫大叫道。她叫嚷到:“你工作4個月了,一間房子也沒租出去。你不合格。你應該辭職。換個工作。你不適合做中介。”凱倫說:“我是一名好中介。但我的客戶都存在個大問題。他們都想住豪華公寓,但他們的錢也只夠租地下室。”塔尼婭說這不是她的問題。這是凱倫的問題。塔尼婭說:“我再給你兩周時間。”
