You arrive at the doors of your apartment. Sourcing the right key from your bunch takes longer than you like. You curse, you don't even remember what doors the other keys unlocked. You wipe sweat from your palms with your trouser before inserting your key and letting yourself in. You kick off your shoes at the door. The apartment smells like it always does, stale air and instant noodles. For a second you stand there, coat still on, thinking about Blackridge. Not the firm on paper. The firm that hired you as a junior risk analyst three years ago, worked you until your hands shook, then let you go when the shaking became visible. No severance. No reference. Just a polite email from HR and a security escort to the lift. You remember the exact carpet pattern in that corridor. You remember the receptionist not looking up. Without much thoughts, you rush to your tiny desk in the corner, you relieve your chair from the burden of clothes too clean to be in the dirty bag and too dirty to be back in the drawer. You prop yourself up and boot your laptop. Before you can think of a response for the voice note, another notification pops up on your laptop. This time it is from your buddy, Dane. "Mango wants to chat you about the job. That or you can hop on a call with me instead, I'll relay your words to Mango." You stare blankly at the message. Mango is General Manager of the Cell, Dane is your buddy who introduced you. You are definitely more comfortable talking with Dane than Mango but maybe the opportunity to chat directly with Mango would open an avenue to build a good rapport with the boss. What do you do?
