Speaking exercise

My current company is the worst I’ve ever met. My current boss also thinks it’s the worst she’s ever worked for. For Honeywell, it’s not a family company so everyone just worked. My current company is a family company even though it has gone public.

I think not I am get used to it. This job in everyone’s life they may have, several times to experience this so they can be better.

For my last company, the basic one is physical exam. But, my current company will give you a special price and you can pay to get a discount. After the pandemic we all come back to work. They provide you with mask, gloves and a 文件夹.

My first job when I graduated in a local company, it’s very local. At that time I’m quite junior so I didn’t participate in office politics. I didn’t know whether I could use sick leave etc. I worked for half a year. For the rules, there are many rules. We can’t use phones in the office. We can’t eat anything except to drink water.
