2. Кроме того, мы не можем узнать нашего начальника, потому что сейчас
он ведёт себя очень честно.
3. Между прочим, в этом месяце наши работодатели отказываются от того,
чтобы дать своим работникам бонусы, которые им полагаются.
4. Проблема в том, что всё больше убедительных бухгалтеров привыкли
смотреть на документы, как на что-то обязательное (compulsory).
5. Да ладно! Им решать, но, перое, что приходит в голову, Кристофер

instantly (сразу) start working while still in their pajamas. Instead, they
get ready for the day the same way they would if they were heading into
the office — which, yes, involves dressing up in presentable clothes.
While the thought of working in your sweatpants without judgment (без
осуждения) might sound nice, your pajamas aren’t exactly professional

in your home — far away from the bed and couch, if possible — that
basically says: “NO RELAXATION ZONE.”
Consider investing in a comfortable office chair (which you can get for less
than $45) and a desk large enough to fit your stuff (i.e., external monitor,
printer, keyboard and mouse, file cabinets). Some companies allow remote
