REAL MEN DON’T CRY
By Courtney Loney
© 2011

A short comedic piece about the dog eat dog world of business.

Two men, from two different generations, are going for the same job at an exclusive business firm. George conveys compassionate attitudes from the ‘Baby boomer’ generation, where as Nick conveys the typical ‘ALL ABOUT ME’ attitudes seen in generation Y/X. Both find themselves in an unusual situation in the bathroom, which ultimately decides who really deserves the job.
