Transcript 

Sean:   The office move, as you know, the plans have been up by the main exit for 

a week now. I just wanted to see what kind of feedback you’ve got.  

Tim:    Yeah, Sean, I’m sorry, but I really strongly disagree with the new floor 

plan. I think it's divisive to separate the secretaries and the assistants out 

from the editors and managers. I’d be much happier if we could be located 

in teams.   

Carrie:   Actually, I think Sean is right. I’ve been chatting to some of the secretaries 

and they’re quite keen³ to all be sitting in the same area, and, speaking as 

an editor, I think I’d like to be with other editors so that we can bounce 

ideas off each other and things. So I think Sean’s floor plan is right.
