The Company Men Page #3

Aww hey, Bobby.

- Hey! Birthday girl.

I can't believe you're thirty-five.

I mean, you don't look

a day over twenty-one.

Aww, see Jack, now

that's how it's done.

You're a liar Bobby,

but I love you for it.

You need to get back to

your post, barbecue boy.

Alright, alright.

Why don't you grab

yourself a drink, Bobby.

We got some margaritas

in the blender...

and we got some beers

out back in the cooler.

Thanks.

Now there's action!

Who better to present this year's

Man of the Year Award...

than the man who's known

him longer than anyone else.

Gene McClary is Executive

Vice-President...

of GTX Global

Transportation Systems.

He's also, I'm told, one of GTX's...

first employees. Gene McClary.

Thank you.

Actually, if memory serves,

I was GTX's only

employee at the time.

Nobody wanted Gloucester

Shipbuilding,

years of multi-million

dollar losses,

the highest labor

costs in the industry.

But from those

humble beginnings,

Jim was able to grow

Gloucester into GTX...

with sixty thousand employees

and eleven billion dollars

in gross annual revenue.

So it is my priviledge to

introduce my oldest friend,

college roommate,

the best Man at my

wedding and the...

worst tennis player I ever met.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

My boss, Jim Salinger.

Thank you, ladies and

gentlemen. Without a doubt...

you don't build a company

like GTX without the

support and leadership...

of a man like Gene McClary.

Executive offices.

Hi, Bobby Walker, GTX.

Down on your left.

Nice suit.

Thanks.

- Orientation?

Yeah.

- That way.

Oh, thanks.

- Do "The Tiger" for me.

What?

- Down the hall.

Thanks.

First, let me tell you

what outplacement is not.

We're not an employment agency.

We're here to help

you help yourself.

Now you all need to put together...

a networking list of

all your friends.

That's suppliers, competitors,

people you sat next

to at a convention,

neighbors, dentists.

Anybody and everybody.

You need a new resume.

You're going...

to be sending out

hundreds, so make it good.

Endings.

We're not used to them.

Fear, anxiety, loss.

How many of you are

feeling these things?

Endings, fear, change,

and finally...

Success.

Okay, everybody up. C'mon,

no use sitting around...

feeling sorry for ourselves. Up, UP.

This is called "The Tiger", we do

it when we need get our energy up.

I... Will... Win.

Why? I'll show you why!

Because I have-- Faith!

Courage! Enthusiasm!

Everybody this time.

No thanks.

- I... Will... Win.

Why?

Because I have-- Faith!

Courage! Enthusiasm!

Good. I... Will... Win.

Did Bobby Walker call back?

Yeah, last night.

- He leave a message?

Not one I'd care to repeat.

See if he can come
