    Transcript
    Sean: The office move, as you know, the plans have been up by the main exit for
    a week now. I just wanted to see what kind of feedback you’ve got.
    Tim: Yeah, Sean, I’m sorry, but I really strongly disagree with the new floor
    plan. I think it's divisive to separate the secretaries and the assistants out
    from the editors and managers. I’d be much happier if we could be located
    in teams.
    Carrie: Actually, I think Sean is right. I’ve been chatting to some of the secretaries
    and they’re quite keen to all be sitting in the same area, and, speaking as
    an editor, I think I’d like to be with other editors so that we can bounce
    ideas off each other and things. So I think Sean’s floor plan is right.
