Most likely…
Speak as Nick
Speak as Tony
Tony: Do you think that the company will file for bankruptcy?
Nick: Most likely, that will not happen. Our company will probably be acquired by one of our bigger competitors.
Tony: What does that mean for our jobs?
Nick: Well, most likely, some of us will lose our jobs, but others will continue to work here. There are always some people who are let go when two companies merge.
Tony: Just what I need – more stress.
Nick: I know. This is going to be a stressful couple of months, but try not to worry too much. It doesn't help anything.
Tony: Thanks for the advice, but that is easier said than done.
