Staff meetings are an integral part of the success of any company. They serve to keep employees up to date on company operations and they give team members the chance to ask questions and make suggestions. In this lesson, we join the staff of a small startup company as they discuss scheduling and how they can meet their corporate objectives.
At the end of this lesson you'll be able to:
Dan: Great. Moving along. René, why don't you tell us where we stand on mockup development? In last week's meeting you said we were ahead of schedule.
René: Yes, well that was last week. We've run into some hiccups since then and we've had to focus all our resources on fixing the bugs in billing. So, as of now, we're running behind schedule on mockups.
Dan: Do you have any suggestions on how we can catch up?
Felipe: Don't worry, Dan. I've already started working on the new models. We should be back on schedule by the end of the week.
Dan: Excellent. Elizabeth, why don't you give us an update on production.
TRADUÇÃO
Dan: Ótimo. Continuando. René, por que você não nos diz onde nós estamos no desenvolvimento dos modelos. Na reunião de semana passada você disse que nós estávamos adiantados.
René: Sim, bem, isso foi a semana passada. Nós enfrentamos algumas dificuldades desde então e nós tivemos que concentrar os nossos esforços em arrumar os problemas em faturamento. Então, no momento nós estamos atrasados nos modelos.
Dan: Você tem alguma sugestão sobre como nós podemos recuperar isso?
Felipe: Não se preocupe, Dan. Eu já comecei a trabalhar nos novos modelos. Nós devemos voltar ao ritmo normal até o fim da semana.
Dan: Excelente. Elizabeth, por que você não nos dá uma atualização sobre a produção.
Actually almost every week I have staff’s meeting to catch my work up on to my boss and see whether I’m running behind schedule or ahead of schedule. These meeting sometimes take a long time, about two hours which for me it’s a waste of time because at most 30 minutes I get to catch up on everything. Some developing's companies started adopting every day stand up meetings, this just to waste a minimum of time and talk just the necessary, usually after 10 or 15 minutes all employees are tired and the meeting ends up.
See you
Thanks in advance.
See you
Have a wonderful day.
In this case I shouldn't have to use the auxiliar "will" as First Conditional?Tks-Jane
