Scene to read · Professionalism, Communication
Mornings without Lucas
You work at a small community radio station.
In the production booth, you, Abeni and the station manager, Jagdeep, are scheduling next month's shows. Lucas, the producer who usually runs the morning show, is out today; he has missed two deadlines this month.
The scene
Abeni: Lucas on mornings again? He's too disorganized to trust with a stapler.
Jagdeep: Ha! He'd lose the stapler. Two deadlines this month, to be fair.
Abeni: I'm only saying what everyone thinks. Give the mornings to me.
Jagdeep: Maybe. You've worked with him the most. Are we wrong?
