Idiom Scenario 1:


A man and her boss are sitting down having a meeting.
Woman:  Thanks for coming in.
Man: No problem.  You did ask me to stop by.  How can I help?
Woman: Well, as you may have noticed, over the past several months, sales have been declining.  Overall growth expectations for the company have not hit their targets.  As a result, profits are down.  Management has decided that, in light of the current situation, the company will have to do some downsizing, that is to say that the company will de-layer the organization.  In your middle-management position within the company, it appears that some trimming will be necessary.
Man: Excuse me.  Could you please just put all that in a nutshell?
Woman: Sales are down.  Profits are down.  You are out of a job.
Man: I see. Thank you.
