The new guy, Sam, provides a clear and unequivocal definition that saves the day. (6 Minutes)

  • Handling Tricky Appraisals - Carol expects to be showered in praise at her forthcoming appraisal with Marcus, but is shocked to find Serena will be sitting in. When they question Carol’s extremely high self-assessment, she becomes defensive and angry, especially when Marcus announces no bonus and a pay cut! But will management also be taking cuts? Carol must get back on her horse. (9 Minutes)
