YORAM
Did you call for me? I just found out. May I come in?
The personnel manager lets out a sigh, as if wanting to get it over with. She waves her hand adorned with multiple rings, resembling an ancient Roman emperor, signaling for him to enter.
PERSONNEL MANAGER (with a forced smile)
Yes. Please sign in. I've been waiting for you.
Yoram enters the room and closes the door behind him. He takes a seat in the chair opposite the personnel manager.
YORAM
Yes?
PERSONNEL MANAGER
Yoram, as you are aware, the entire market is downsizing, and our company is no exception.
Yoram, not fully comprehending the severity of the situation, asks hesitantly.
YORAM (innocently)
What does this have to do with me?
The personnel manager tries to deliver the news as gently as possible.
