3 火 Lesson2 職場についての印象を伝える

So, Moe, come this way. This is your workspace for today.
Thank you, James. Did you say “for today?” Is it temporary?
Sort of. We started hot-desking last month. Pick up your laptop from the shelf every morning and sit wherever you like.
I can talk to different people every day, then. Very impressive.
That’s exactily the point. On top of that, the hight of the desk is adjustable from sitting to standing.
That’s very healthy.
I like this kind of staff-friendly environment.
