At a local liberal arts college, Bob, the head of the school, employed Mary, a deliberate worker, well liked by her peers, but has been unable to grasp the new technology.
Mary had been moved around quite a bit in an effort to place her in a suitable position, however with stricter budgets, it seemed that perhaps Mary needed to be eliminated; her salary was an unnecessary drain on the school’s budget and her job responsibilities could be accomplished more successfully with new technology. Bob has a responsibility to the community, albeit, the school, however he could simply drag this on for another six years until Mary's retirement, helping the needs of an individual. He can’t do both; help the school’s budget and help Mary, whose life seems to be the school.
