ESL Podcast 1160 – Being Reprimanded at Work 

Tania: What time is your meeting with Ted1? 

James: It’s at 3:00. Why? 

Tania: You don’t seem worried. If I were being accused of misconduct and up for disciplinary action, I’d be on edge. 

James: It was a minor2 offense3. I’m sure I’ll just get a slap on the wrist. 

Tania: I heard about it and it didn’t sound that minor. 

James: People blow things out of proportion. It’s not like I’ll be up for dismissal or anything. 

Tania: I hope not, but you might get a written reprimand placed in your personnel file. That could affect your chances for a raise or promotion4. 

James: I don’t have much of a chance of getting either one, quite frankly5, so why sweat it? I’ll deal with whatever punishment I get. 

Tania: I’m glad that’s your attitude. 

James: What I say is: Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time! 

Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
