00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:12,000
Hi, Mike. Did you enjoy yourself yesterday evening?

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,300
Enjoy myself? How could I?

3
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:19,900
What happened? You told me you were going on a date after work.

4
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:24,600
Yes. But, you know, I was ordered to do something after work.

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,500
Really! But you weren't told beforehand?

6
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:34,200
No. I didn't know about it until after 16:50 when I was getting ready to knock off work.

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,800
Oh, brother!

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,300
Hey, Maria! Maria...over here.

9
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:44,600
Hi guys! What are you talking about?

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,700
Additional work hours, which ruined Mike's date yesterday.

11
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:54,400
And without being told in advance. That is where the trouble lies. Do you agree, Maria?

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,100
I don't quite understand what you're talking about.

13
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:02,700
Extra work. We are talking about doing extra work without being informed in advance.

14
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:08,800
Oh, yes. It sometimes causes us problems as we're not even mentally prepared for it.

15
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:15,100
And there are no special rules about employees working at night, especially until 11 p.m. or midnight.

16
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:21,600
Well, let's hope for the best, Mike. I think the rules will be improved regarding overtime as our business increases.

17
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:29,200
I think so too. It seems our company is developing faster nowadays and the management has already noticed it.

18
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,200
Really? That's good.
