Helen: I was wondering how your new job was going. You started last month, didn’t you?
Ruth: Yes, that’s right. To be blunt, I thought it was going to be more challenging. I’m bored most of the time. I spent most of last week just photocopying.
Helen: Did you? I thought you loved it there.
Ruth: Well, the people are great. But I can’t stand my boss. He never listens to us. Look – I’ve got a photo of the team on my phone.
Helen: You’re in the countryside, aren’t you?
Ruth: Yes, we had a team-building day and did lots of activities like kayaking.
Helen: Is that your boss in the middle?
Ruth: Yes! Judging by his expression, I’d say that he wasn’t enjoying himself as much as we were!
Helen: May I ask if the salary is OK?
Ruth: It’s OK but you need more than a good salary to be happy at work, don’t you?
Helen: Absolutely! I’ve never been that keen on working for a big company. I’d rather work for a charity or for myself …
