If the Friend Zone was Used in Other Life: Flipped

Writing by the fire.

My good friend Maylin posted on facebook a clever blog by Foz Meadows.

(Warning and flag: this blog has a cuss word) entitled 
"How The Logic of Friendzoning Would Work If Applied In Other Instances". 

It was well done and showed women's frustration with passive men friends who never take initiative. Then how these same men get upset when they are rejected. On the flip side of that, sometimes women are not careful and use men friends...

So I decided to write something that would show the other side of that same coin...

Friend Zone if Applied to Job Applications, Flipped

Customer: Hey, it's great to see you.

Manager: Yes. Are you free Saturday?

Customer: Sure.

Manager: Great I need someone to lift the heavy boxes in the back, I can't pay you but--

Customer: I think I can squeeze it in.

Manager: You're so great! It's been so difficult since I fired my last night shift employee.

Customer: I know. We talk about it a lot. 

++Silence++

Customer: I mean, I can't believe you haven't found someone else.

Manager: I know. I hope whoever they are, they are as great as you.

Customer: You know, I'm still unemployed.

Manager: I know, I can't believe it. You are so great, what's wrong with all those employers out there. You are amazing.

Customer: Yeah?

Manager: Yeah. I would hire you, but you know.

Customer: I'm not sure I do "know."

Manager: Ooh, after lifting boxes on Saturday I'll make you dinner.

Customer: Okay, or maybe you could hire me instead.

Manager: What? What would give you the idea that I would ever want to hire you?

Customer: All the free work you have me do, the compliments to my resume...

Manager: You are so weird. We've been over this I can't hire you. You are not right for this job.

Customer: Fine.

++Silence++

Manager: But I'll still see you Saturday right?
