山姆：嗨，露西，見到你真好，你最近還好嗎？我最近一直在擔心你，麥可説你生病了，發生了什麼事？
Lucy: I’ve been so busy these past two months since it’s almost the end of the year. At first I came down with a cold. I thought I would get better, but I ended up in hospital with pneumonia.

Sam: That shouldn’t be your concern. Have you heard of any company that collapses after one employee quits? We’re not that indispensable.

露西：嗯⋯⋯是有可能的。

Lucy: I’ve been told that it’s a tight labor market now. What if I can’t find a better job?
露西：有人跟我說現在就業市場緊縮，如果我找不到更好的工作怎麼辦？
Sam: Don’t listen to other people. We all know how capable you are. Listen to yourself and believe in your value in the job market. I think you can start to explore outside of the company. If changing to a new job gives you an opportunity to grow and most importantly, a better work-life balance, I’m on your side.
山姆：別聽別人怎麼說，我們都知道你是很有能力的。你要傾聽自己的聲音，相信自己在就業市場上的價值。我認為你可以開始在公司外尋找機會。如果換新工作能讓你有成長的機會，更重要的是，能讓你在工作和生活間取得更好的平衡，我支持你換新工作。
