Well, we’ve all known it’s been coming, but it was still a shock when it happened. Stuart finally sacked Perry (as in Winkle) today. Perry’s been slacking off for months, and is becoming increasingly uncooperative with everyone. Stuart gave me instructions for calculating Perry’s separation package and asked me to pay him out as soon as possible. He’s been on a huge salary, so he won’t do badly.
I’m going to apply for Perry’s job when it’s advertised. I’ve been doing most of it anyway, especially over the past few months when he’s lost interest, and I know Stuart likes me. It’s quite exciting.
