So the first six questions is more about sort of like dealing with bosses and working overtime. Now it's more dealing with people you work with.
Do we have to?
Depending on if what kind of people you work with？
The first one, out of the blue, someone in your office lights up a massive pipe of tobacco and starts puffing away. 开始抽烟抽烟斗了, fill in the room with smoke, being British and being American, let's start with Anlan.
Well, being British, what you would do is you go okay, pour yourself a scotch. Sit down with them, drink a scotch and probably start smoking. Even if you're not a smoker.
Even if you're not a smoker.
You don't want to be left out and it would be rude not to join them.
I can hear your breeze. It's about the entire time and this is getting louder and louder. All right. I’m sensing the American side might just tell them to cut it, to stop it.
Americans would freak out. It's like, what are you doing? You're going to get a shutdown. You want the health inspectors to come here. They will shut us down. Put that out.
Is it completely smoke free, sort of thing.
Oh, yeah, workplaces are completely smoke free like you'll get into serious trouble.
Like being taken to court serious?
Like you'll be fired. Companies can get their business license suspended.
That sounds pretty...
Yeah, it is a no go, it does just no go.
One annoying colleague down, the next one. So this one starts using the office microwave to heat up fish every morning. It makes the whole building smell like cat’s breath. So what would you do？Let's start with the American side.
Not naming names, Pam, the microwave is not for heating up fish, Pam. It is for non-offensive odors, Pam.
Do you work with a Pam？
Everyone works whit a Pam.
Would you actually say that or would you leave it like...
It would be a note.
Okay.
The other thing is people...your lunch box in the company fridge might magically disappear.
Do you actually label it？If it's a communal fridge, label your food?
You should, but I didn't see a label on that fish.
Don’t touch my fish. And 安澜?
I would get in even earlier and cut the wire that's attached the electricity.
So a mild electric shock just to prevent that fish smell?
It is a very, very bad smell. I really don't like fish smells.
That's okay. I need to keep my distance from you.
Who microwaves fish? Fish should not be microwaved.
I’ve microwaved fish before, leftover fish, you microwave it.
Yeah, but not in an office microwave.
I don't know, some people don't mind it, but then we digress coming back.
I don't even know if this actually happens in both of your cultures. You stand up to tell your colleagues that you're just popping out for lunch,说我出去吃饭了. Does anyone need anything, you ask politely.你们要不要给你们带点什么 and one colleague had the audacity to actually say to you. Yes. And handed you a list of things that he or she needs, being American.
That was a rookie mistake, you offered, American culture, you offer, you are obligated.
So you can’t just do a polite offering.
No, you don't, because you don't have to offer it at all, like I’m going to go out to get lunch. If I say if I’m going to go out to get lunch, anyone want anything? I'm actually offering to buy them something or not buy them but pick it up for them.
So if you actually offered, but just thinking that you wanted to, for example, in the same restaurant you pack me a sandwich, but I actually handed you a list and say, James, can you get me this this this？
I’m going to McDonald's and I will buy you a big Mac or a Filet-O-Fish.
