Bonus complaints
A: Ms. Montgomery? Do you have a moment?
B: Sure, Brian. What’s on your mind?
A: I’m a bit upset about this year’s bonus. I was really expecting a little more. Are there any problems with my work?
B: No, not at all, Brian. This year, we’ve all had to cut back. I’m hoping next year’s going to better. I hope you can understand.

Discordance about a secretary
A: Hello, Mr. Kramer. Could you spare a minute?
B: That’s about all I can spare, Karen. What do you need?
A: I need to talk to you about that new secretary you’ve hired. I think I’m going to
have some problems working with her.
B: She seems to be quite qualified. If it’s a personal problem, I’d prefer it if you would work it out between yourselves.
同事不和
A：您好，克莱默先生。能占您一点时间吗？
B：只能是一点点，凯伦。你有什么事？
