Conversation A:
A: Hi, Betty!
B: Hi, Andy, how are you finding your new job?
A: Pretty good. My colleagues seem alright. So far everything is great.
B: That’s nice. What do they have you doing over there?
A: Well, I work in the marketing department. The corporate culture is totally different from my last employer. Before, when I was assigned a task, I was totally on my own but here most of the work is done in teams. Everyone works very closely with each other.
B: That’s really good. It’s very important to feel like you are part of the team at work.
A: Indeed. Teamwork is highly valued in this new company. I like our boss too. He is easy to get along with and treats everybody with respect and appreciates. He's highly respected by all his employees.
B: That’s great, that’s good for a positive work environment and helps motivate employees. I wish my boss was like that.
A: True, take my former supervisor as an example. He was extremely controlling and overbearing. He always had to micromanageeverything.
B: Well, now you don’t have to worry about that. This new place sounds really good.
A: Yeah it is.
