"Please come in my office. I see you're one of the new hires. You may have heard I'm a stern boss. That's only half-true. I want to show you something. And if you do a good job, I'll reward you. If you refuse, I'll have to fire you. I'm sure your new pals around the water cooler may have told you, "just do as Mrs Poindexter says, and this is a great job! But don't disobey her orders, no matter how unorthodox. She'll take what she wants anyway, so no point in fighting it. And she'll give you extra bonuses!" Listen to them.
