Bert Adams and his wife Carrie often talk negatively about Bert's boss, Mr. Adams, behind his back as they feel he doesn't give Bert due credit - he overworks Bert, but doesn't give him any suitable compensation. That's why it doesn't sit well with Carrie that at the last minute Bert calls home telling her that Mason has basically invited himself to dinner. Once home and has a second alone with Carrie, Bert tells her that he believes Mason invited himself to tell them that he is promoting Bert to the vacant position in the shipping department. When Bert and Carrie learn that Mason has someone else in mind for that job, will Bert and/or Carrie be able to contain their disappointment and anger, regardless of Mason's true purpose for coming to dinner?
