Let’s Talk! ANSWER KEY Ethan: Hey, Jonathon, how’s the new job. Jonathon: Hi Ethan. Not bad. I’m totally relieved to have found a job. I was getting really low on funds. Ethan: Not bad? What? You’re not all excited? Jonathon: Well, the work is interesting, but, it’s the meal breaks. The boss doesn’t give us a lunch break until after five hours. He doesn’t even give us a coffee break! Can he do that? Ethan: Hmm, unfortunately, my friend, he can. Go check out the Employment Standards website. Jonathon: Gees. What am I going to do? You know I have diabetes and have to watch my blood sugar. What if my sugar goes really low? I can’t eat on the job! Ethan: Talk to your boss. I’m sure that if he knows your situation and sees you munching away on the job, he will understand that it’s for medical reasons and that you’re not slacking off. Jonathon: Well, maybe you’re right. I’d rather be safe than sorry. I’ll speak with him tomorrow.
