Good morning, Lisa.

What was it you wanted to see me about?

Urh...good morning. 

Thanks for seeing me on such short notice, I know it's a busy time for you.

That's OK, Lisa.

I can see that you are upset about something.

Is something wrong?

Yes, actually there is, and I've been thinking about it a lot.

To make it short, I have decided to leave the company.

You are going to leave?

Yes, I think it's best, I'm really not happy here any more.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Have you found another job?

No, it isn't that.

My husband and I have just decided that I really don't need to work.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you want to leave.

But I really want you to reconsider.

You have only been here for a year.

That isn't very long, and it won't help your resume if you decide to look for a job in the future.简历

Yes, that may be true, but staying here is really stressful.紧张的；有压力的

You may not be aware of it, but I have real problems with my supervisor, Bill.主管

Oh, what kind of problems?

He takes on projects and assigns them to me with no regard for my other responsibilities.

It's just too much.

Then he takes all the credit from my work.

Maybe I'm just too sensitive.

Yes, I know he can act that way, and I have told him it's an area he needs to improve.

Anyway, there are people like that in every organization.

I know it's difficult but you need to learn how to deal with people like him.

Well, I don't know.

It's really stressful.

It isn't easy for me to talk to him.

Listen, Lisa.

You have great potential and I don't want to lose you.

If you already had a job offer, I wouldn't stand in your way.

But since you don't, I really want you to stay.

I appreciate your saying that.

It means a lot.

So, will you please reconsider your decision?

Yes, I'll talk to my husband.

As for Bill, please try to work with him for a bit longer.

This is part of your learning experience.

Thanks, I really apprectiate your advice.

You are a great sales person.

I'm feeling better, already.

You're welcome Lisa.

I need you to stay.

Please give it at least another year.

(Why does Lisa think her boss is a great sales person?)

(She has convinced her of the importance of staying instead of quitting.)说服

(She has sold Lisa on the idea of staying for another year.)
