Mr. Kim: "Hyeon-Ju, could we have a quick chat?"

Hyeon-Ju: "Of course, Mr. Kim. What's on your mind?"

Mr. Kim: "It's about the office environment. Lately, I've been finding it difficult to concentrate. I can't stand the noise coming from the construction outside."

Hyeon-Ju: "I understand, Mr. Kim. It has been quite loud, especially with the ongoing renovations."

Mr. Kim: "I'm thinking of requesting a temporary relocation for our team. Maybe a quieter part of the building or remote work options for a while. What are your thoughts?"

Hyeon-Ju: "That sounds like a reasonable solution. A quieter workspace would certainly help us focus better. Remote work could also be beneficial for some of us."

Mr. Kim: "Great, I'll discuss this with HR and see what can be arranged. In the meantime, let's try to find ways to minimize the disturbance."

Hyeon-Ju: "I'll spread the word to the team and see if anyone has suggestions. We'll get through this together."

김: "현주 씨, 잠깐 얘기 좀 할 수 있을까요?"

현주: "물론이죠, 김 팀장님. 무슨 생각 있으세요?"

김:  "사무실 환경 때문이에요. 요즘 집중하기가 힘들어요. 밖에서 공사하는 소리가 너무 커서 견딜 수가 없어요."

현주:  "이해합니다. 특히 공사가 계속 진행 중이라 꽤 시끄러웠어요."

김:  "우리 팀을 위해 임시 근무지 이전을 요청할까 생각 중입니다. 건물의 한적한 곳으로 옮기거나 당분간 원격 근무를 하는 방안이 있을 것 같습니다. 어떻게 생각하세요?"

현주:  "합리적인 해결책인 것 같네요. 조용한 업무 공간은 확실히 집중력을 높이는 데 도움이 될 것 같습니다. 원격 근무도 일부 직원들에게 도움이 될 수 있을 것 같아요."

김:  "좋아요, 인사팀과 상의해서 어떤 방안을 마련할 수 있는지 알아보겠습니다. 그 동안 업무 방해를 최소화할 수 있는 방법을 찾아봅시다."

현주: "팀원들에게 이 사실을 알리고 좋은 아이디어가 있는지 알아볼게요. 다 같이 힘을 합쳐 이겨내야죠."
