- So, what do you think of the office? - I started a week ago, and everyone has been very welcoming. - Yes, I've been working here for two years and I really like the team. We get along very well. - The atmosphere is nicer than in my other job. - I'm happy for you. It's time for my meeting, but if you need help, you can always ask me. - Thank you very much!
