Scene to read · Professionalism, Ethics

Put my name in

You are hiring a coordinator for your team at work.

After a pickup game, you sit on the courtside bench with two friends, Gustavo and Brooke. Gustavo is a close friend who once covered your rent when you were broke; he is also often late and has left two jobs in a year. He has seen your posting.

The scene

Gustavo: That coordinator job on your team. I want it. I'd be good at it.

Brooke: You were an hour late today, Gus.

Gustavo: For a pickup game. A paycheck is different.

Brooke: Nobody's ever bet on you. I think you're owed one real chance.

Gustavo: So will you put my name in?

The two questions

  1. 1What would you say to Gustavo, and what would you do about the job?
  2. 2Describe a time a friendship and a responsibility pulled you in different directions. What did you do?
