M: Marlon S: Steve
Steve talks to Marlon at his desk just before the end of the day.
S: Hi, Marlon. I’ve given about half the work you were assigned to Lara and Jake. That should ease your load significantly.
M: Thank you, Steve. But won’t Lara and Jake be flooded with work now?
S: For the time being, yes. But I told HR that another position should be opened in our department, so the extra work will only be temporary.
M: I see. That’s good. Thank you.
S: Don’t mention it. Also, our company offers some ways to help employees relieve stress. I think you may be interested in them.
就在那天結束前，史提夫在馬龍的桌邊跟他說話。
史提夫： 嗨，馬龍。我已經把一半指派給你的工作分給萊拉和傑克了。那應該會大大減輕你的工作量。
馬 龍： 謝謝你，史提夫。但現在萊拉和傑克不會被工作淹沒嗎？
史提夫： 目前來說，會的。但我跟人資說過我們的部門應該再開另一個職缺，所以額外的工作量只會是暫時的。
馬 龍： 我了解了。那很好。謝謝你。
史提夫： 別客氣。而且，我們公司有提供一些管道來幫員工減輕壓力。我想你可能會對它們感興趣。
