[Boss' office. Day. Boss is thinking about ten things at once. Boss is examining the comp plan my previous boss created for me.]
Boss: "So what the hell is up with your comp plan?"
Cam: "Yeah, I don't remember. I think Kim wrote is as a way to give me a raise without giving me a raise."
Boss: "OK." (long pause) "Do you know what her assumptions were on this part?" (points to section B)
Cam: "I can explain the mechanics, but she did all these calculations herself."
Boss: (long pause)
Cam: (long pause)
Boss: "OK. I want you to do two things. Write me an email and tell me how much of a bonus you think you deserve, and tell me why."
[Scene.]
...ummm.... Eeep!
