She quickly continued. \"It's not that people here don't work hard or anything. It's just that I noticed there might be some favoritism going on in some of the major personnel decisions.\" Blitney looked concerned, but smiled at Candace. \"Thank you for telling me, Candace. I assure you [will do everything in my power to make sure this problem does not continue. This lcind of thing has no place in the team I'm going to lead.\" The next day, Brimey requested Candace meet with her. AS Candace entered Brimey's office for the meeting, Brimey looked her straight in the face and said, \"I will not tolerate individuals in this organization who are not team players. Yesterday aftemoon you led me to believe there are people in this office who are not acting in the best interests of the company, and I want to know who. These people have no place in this division.\" Candace was sturuied. She did not want to hurt anyone. She just wanted to express her concerns in the hopes certain practices would change. men she did not answer right away, Britney looked at her with annoyance. \"Look,\" she said, \"I want you to tell me the names of the managers you were referring to now, and keep me informed if you see anyone hurting this company, or I've got to think maybe you're part of the problems around here.\" Candace tried to explain. "I'm sorry,\" she said. \"I didn't want to implicate anyone in particular. I just wanted to alert you to some concerns I've been having...\" Blimey cut Candace off before she could continue. \"Candace, you seem like a smart person. I'm trying to create an example here. There are no shortcuts in thisjob. You work hard, or you get out. I've got no room for slackers. Now once again, who are the managers you were talking about?\" Candace's heart raced in her chest and she felt close to tears. Blimey noticed because she sighed exasperatedly "Fine. Here's what I'll do. We'll set up another meeting tomorrow and talk then. That' give you time to think about where your priorities lie.\
