Come to Jesus talk

A serious talk between two or more people where the person's performance, or attitude, or involvement in the work (or in the relationship) is in need of improving. The talk is meant to save the soul of the receiver so that he or she makes a full change for the better. Often between a person of authority and the subordinates (teacher-student; coach-team), and often uses emotional arguments to get the person to change.

Our professor gave us that come to Jesus talk today. He said we were performing poorly, lacked the right drive to complete the task. He said that he was working hard, trying to make good lesson plans but we were just lazy. The worst part was when he said that he felt that he wasn't a good teacher because we clearly didn't respect him as a teacher.

Come to Jesus talk

If you're going to perform...PERFORM! Or we'll find someone who will! A conversation usually between an employee and employer.

Looks like we're going to have a come to Jesus talk with Teddy if he wants to keep his job.
