  • Manuel's Story

    Not all problems work out as well as Maribel's did. Take a look at Manuel's story.

    Manuel is an assembly line worker for Rusty Cog Manufacturing, a small factory that makes machine parts. Last week, Manuel's supervisor, Gladys, fired him. Gladys said that she just did not like his attitude. Manuel did not understand because he had always done a good job and had not been warned or written up; no one gave him a good reason why the company fired him.
