I 'll have the deciding vote , because the call was saved but it was whispered and garbled on the machine 's end , so it comes down to , ' did you hear her say it ' which of course I did . So , either do my job , or save a job . If I lie , and something comes of it , I lose my job too . Nothing like a healthy dilemma to add to my day .

Question: Why are they having a dilemma ?
Answer: They are afraid no matter what they do , they will lose their job .They want to keep their job no matter what .They heard her on the machine and want to lie about it .The garbled conversation was hard to hear .
