Rent or Quit

房屋中介

Karen had a new job. She was a real estate agent. Clients called her up. Clients emailed her. Clients wanted an apartment. Karen showed them apartments. The clients didn’t like the apartments. Karen showed them more apartments. The clients still didn’t like the apartments. She showed many apartments to many clients. But nobody rented an apartment. Tanya was Karen’s boss. Tanya yelled at Karen. “You have worked here for four months,” she yelled. “You haven’t rented one apartment yet. You are no good. You should quit. You should find another job. You are not a good real estate agent.” Karen said, “I am a good real estate agent. But my clients have a big problem. They all want a penthouse, but they only have enough money for the basement.” Tanya said that was not her problem. That was Karen’s problem. “I will give you two more weeks,” Tanya said.

凯伦有了新工作。她是房屋中介代理。客户给她打电话。给她发邮件。客户想租房。凯伦带他们看房。客户不满意这些房子。凯伦带他们去看更多的房子。客户还是不喜欢。她又带客户看去看房。但没人愿意租房。塔尼娅是凯伦的老板。塔尼娅对凯伦大叫道。她叫嚷到：“你工作4个月了，一间房子也没租出去。你不合格。你应该辞职。换个工作。你不适合做中介。”凯伦说：“我是一名好中介。但我的客户都存在个大问题。他们都想住豪华公寓，但他们的钱也只够租地下室。”塔尼娅说这不是她的问题。这是凯伦的问题。塔尼娅说：“我再给你两周时间。”
