Hi, everyone and welcome back to your favorite segment Across the Pond. 欢迎你们回来, 你最喜欢的, 并且一直要求回来的这么一个板块, 叫做【英美大不同】. We have in our studio James.
Hi, everyone
And 安澜.
Hello.
I'm going to give them some really awkward questions in like social settings, so that they are going to give their answers as American and British and see if they have any differences in their opinions.
I'm sure we do.
Are you guys ready？
Oh, yes.
Why not？
The topic we're going to do is work.
Pass.
Question number one, there's a new guy at work and he asks you, what is the best thing about working for this company or this organization, being British or being American？What would you do？Let's start with James.
It really depends on whether you like or not like it. Maybe if you don't like it, it would be like coffee is good. And if you do like it, you're going to be honest like we have great benefits. Boss is super approachable. He's a cool dude.
Okay. So if you don't like working there, would you not come out and directly say run?
Or you might say something like keep your resume updated.
Subtle. And 安澜?
I would think about ways I can give my work to that person.
That's very sneaky.
It is very sneaky, but I’m being honest here I would think it's a new guy. He'll say yes to anything. So let's see how much work of mine I can give him.
But would you not tell him exactly what is good about this about working here？
Absolutely. I’ll tell him about the workload.
Okay. Remind me not to ask you to be the poster child for the company.
Probably best not.
All right. Question number two, a visitor, this is a visitor at work, goes on your work computer before you've had a chance to clear your internet search history, what is he or she likely to find and also how would you respond, 安澜 first？
I was going on YouTube to do some company research and also the news BBC, those things I bought on eBay were completely necessary for my project.
Would you feel offended that someone goes on just without your permission？
To be honest, a work computer, they would have to have your permission because you have to have passwords and things like that. So probably I would have given permission for them to use my computer and then suddenly thought my God, they're going to find what I bought on eBay and Amazon.
OK, and James.
I’m going to guess they're system administrator because they got into my computer. Second, I got nothing to hide to work computer. I’m not going to put all that stuff on my work computer. That's what personal computers are for.
But are you saying that when you are at work, everything you do on the internet is completely about work. So no eBay, no any of that？
Usually at work, yes, on our work computers, yes, because many companies in America track what you do online.  
Scary. Next question, you have a half-day holiday already booked in. But after working your morning, your boss asks you, if you're all set for the afternoon’s big meeting, what would you do in this situation, James？
Yeah, I’m heading up to the car now. See you on Monday.
Would that not make you a… I don't know, unfavorable person in the eyes of the boss？
No, because he's already approved my time off. So...
