Little Story

I was thinking in the bath: "How lazy are some people?". My company is facing some financial problems. It's become a nightmare because there is a real possibility of a collective layoff. But there is a great job opportunity at another company. So I said to a colleague to go for it because there are some open positions. He said: "Oh, I need to upgrade my cv. I'll see". But it's the third time I've said it to him. In my mind, I say: "What is he waiting for? The collective layoff? Is he crazy?". He has some problems with our boss. Two years ago, he was hired at a technician hole (*hole is not right, do you mean 'level' or 'grade' maybe?)  but after one year, he graduated from the university. By our country's law, companies need to upgrade the holes and the employee's salary, but our boss did nothing. So my colleague made a formal complaint to the Company President. After two weeks, he finally received the upgrade but our bosses were angry!
