In a line of questioning from Mr. Wiley, Ed ends up admitting that he didn't quit but was fired from his last job in a company restructuring. What irked Ed about the situation was that others that were hired after him not only didn't get let go but were promoted. In recognizing the signs in Ed, Mr. Wiley decides to break from the formal interview process to discuss broader issues of job retention. In the process, Mr. Wiley tells Ed about two of his employees, twin brothers, who, despite their physical similarities, being totally different in how they approached their same jobs working together. The story, while true to some extent, ends up being a parable to help Ed in his future work life. Written by Huggo See less
