英语流利说懂你英语 Level4 Unit3 Part1 Dialogue-Quitting a Job

I hear you lost your job.

Is that right?

Yes, that's right.

I quit.

I quit because of the way my boss treats people.

What happened?

I wasn't feeling good one day and he yelled at me.

When I told him not to yell at me, he threatened me.

Is that all?

That's what bosses do.

Sure, sometimes maybe.

But my boss treated everyone badly and I was tired of it.

It was the last straw.

The last straw?

Yes, you know. It reached the point where I couldn't take it any more.

---

I see.

So now you don't have a job.

Right, I don't have a job.

But at least I don't have to deal with my boss any more.

What are you going to do now?

To be honest, I'm not sure. But I'll find something.

I'll get a job even if it pays less than before.

---

Are you sorry you quit?

Yes and no.

I guess I should have found another job first and then quit.

Why didn't you?

As I said, he pushed me too far.

There are somethings that I just won't take.

---

What about your wife?

She isn't happy that I don't have a job, but she understands.

She knows I have a temper.

And she knows I wasn't happy working there.

---

Well, I guess I'm lucky.

My job isn't great but I like the people I'm working with.

And I like my manager.

Are you planning to stay there?

I don't know.

For now it's okay, but of course it all depends on how things change.

---

Well if you hear of any job openings, let me know, OK?

Sure, send me your resume, and I'll let people know you're looking.

Thanks.
