New Guys Time Portal #1
The New Guys Always Work Overtime
Taylor thought he liked his job working in human resources for Just-in-Time Fabrication and Fulfillment. While their competitors kept costs down by outsourcing, Just-in-Time was "100% MADE IN AMERICA" and still competitively priced—because they brought in cheap labor using a time portal. Taylor was perfectly happy training these occasionally quaint temp workers—until he met the latest batch of New Guys. ( This story originally appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction magazine in February 2013.)

I'm honored to be the first person to review this story. I'm also pleased to give it 4 stars.
This is a very well-written short story, with a skillful compactness. It's hard to make a good story short, and David Erik Nelson did a great job with this one. He manages to describe his world succinctly, and he uses it well. The dialogue is crisp and fun, and the plot is great. Highly recommended.
