Online Class Notes (Jesse)

I’ve been exhausted because of my work, as I need to pick up the slack to complete the project. The main period of the project is next month, from a professional perspective, I’ d better to finish the preparations in this month, which means it’s incredibly urgent and the company may fire someone who doesn’t work hard. However, in my point of view, if people could get on with the other teams that involved in the project, then they wouldn’t be fired as the company would only pay 1 month’s compensation.
