HR Manager: We've noticed you're working a lot of overtime lately. Can you tell me more about your situation? 人力資源經理:我們注意到你最近加班很多。你能告訴我更多about你的情況嗎?
Employee: Yes, I've been working extra hours to finish projects. But I'm worried about not having enough time with my kids. 員工:是的,我一直在加班以完成專案。但我擔心沒有足夠的時間陪伴孩子。
HR Manager: I understand your concern about family time. What changes do you think would help you balance work and home life better? 人力資源經理:我理解你對家庭時間的擔憂。你認為做什麼改變能幫助你更好地平衡工作和家庭生活?
Employee: I'd like to reduce my overtime hours if possible. Maybe I could work from home sometimes to be more flexible? 員工:如果可能的話,我想減少加班時間。也許我有時可以在家工作,這樣會更靈活?
HR Manager: That sounds like a good idea. We can definitely arrange for you to work from home two days a week until your two projects finish. According to the deadlines of them, it will be five weeks. 人力資源經理:這聽起來是個好主意。我們肯定可以安排你每週在家工作兩天,直到你的兩個專案完成。根據它們的截止日期,這將持續五週。
Employee: Thank you. I'm sure this will greatly help. 員工:謝謝。我相信這會有很大幫助。
