“I said, prick.” I used the same condescending tone he so often affected. Edwards rose to his feet, a fist clenched at his side. “Fine.” I stood up, smoothing my navy pencil skirt over my hips, turning away. Edwards arched an eyebrow at me expectantly. Now, if you don’t mind, I have a conference call in a few moments.” Mr. We are not firing you-we are simply letting you go now that your position is no longer necessary.

Should you require a referral, you may submit a request in writing through the appropriate channels.” It includes a two-week severance allowance. He opened a drawer and withdrew an envelope. He, too, has been let go.” A discreet clearing of his throat indicated the subject was closed.

It’s nothing to do with you - it’s simply that we’re streamlining our workflow, and as the newest, and least experienced member of our team…well, your services have become somewhat superfluous.” Of course.” He tugged at the cuffs of his pressed white button-down shirt, cleared his throat. Edwards slid into his modern black leather desk chair and then unbuttoned his suit coat. “My name is Keer-ee,” I couldn’t help correcting him for what must have been the eighteen-thousandth time. “Have a seat, Kyrie.” He said it wrong, as always, pronouncing it Kye-ree.
