1 poor: Job "performance" is a measure or evaluation of how well an employee executes their work. "Poor performance" is work of inferior quality. Note: In English, the term "poor" is not too strong - it is commonly used to describe things that are inferior. Example: He is a poor cook (=his food is not very good).
2 punctual: If someone is "punctual", they arrive on time. Example: Brian Jones arrives at the office at 6.29am every day - he is very punctual. Philip is complaining that Doris is no longer "punctual". He could also say, "Doris's "punctuality" is poor", or that she is often late.
3 efficient: An efficient person is productive, or works quickly with a minimum of time lost. Example: Sandra is very efficient - she completes her tasks well without wasting any time. Philip thinks that Doris used to be efficient, but now she is inefficient!
4 talented: If someone is "talented", they have natural skill or ability. Example: Elkie Johns is a very talented musician and lover. Philip thinks that Doris used to be a "talented maker of coffee", which means she had a talent or skill for making coffee. Personally, I am a talented drinker of coffee!
5 overweight: An overweight person weighs more than is considered healthy or normal - they are sometimes called "obese", "heavy" or "fat" (impolite). Example: Since I stopped exercising, I have become overweight. Philip thinks that Doris is a "little bit overweight".
6 mind: The "mind" is the part of your head that thinks! If your "mind is not on the job" it means your thoughts or attention are not focused on what you are doing. You are distracted. Example: Her mind hasn't been on the job since her dog died.
7 highlighted: If something is "highlighted" it is emphasized or made prominent. Example: The rise in violent crime "highlights" the need for more police on the street. Philip thinks that Doris's "mix-up" (where she sent him the wrong file for his sales talk) highlights or underlines the fact that she is not doing her job correctly.
8 dismissed: To be "dismissed" is to be "fired", "terminated" or "to lose your job". Philip thinks that Doris deserves to lose her job for her poor job performance.
