Zane gets a meeting invite for Thursday at ten. The subject line just says "Team Meeting." He assumes it means hiring.
Zane menerima undangan rapat untuk hari Kamis pukul sepuluh. Subjeknya hanya tertulis "Rapat Tim". Ia mengira itu soal perekrutan.
Roshni gets the exact same invite. She assumes it means the yearly budget. Both start preparing different materials.
Roshni menerima undangan yang persis sama. Ia mengira itu soal anggaran tahunan. Keduanya mulai menyiapkan materi yang berbeda.
Zane makes a slide about three new job openings. Roshni makes a spreadsheet about department costs. Neither checks with the other person.
Zane membuat slide tentang tiga lowongan kerja baru. Roshni membuat lembar kerja tentang biaya departemen. Tidak ada yang menanyakannya kepada yang lain.
Thursday morning arrives, and both walk into the room. Zane opens his laptop first. "I have the hiring slides ready," he says.
Kamis pagi tiba, dan keduanya masuk ke ruangan. Zane membuka laptopnya lebih dulu. "Slide perekrutan saya sudah siap," katanya.
Roshni looks confused. "This is about the budget," she says. She opens her own spreadsheet on the screen.
Roshni tampak bingung. "Ini soal anggaran," katanya. Ia membuka lembar kerjanya sendiri di layar.
They both check the meeting invite again. The message says, "Let's cover hiring and budget together." Neither of them read it fully.
Mereka berdua memeriksa undangan rapat itu lagi. Pesannya berbunyi, "Mari kita bahas perekrutan dan anggaran bersama-sama." Tidak ada dari mereka yang membacanya sampai habis.
"We can do both today," Zane says. "Your numbers first, then my slides."
"Kita bisa membahas keduanya hari ini," kata Zane. "Angka-angka Anda dulu, lalu slide saya."
Roshni laughs and nods. "That actually makes sense," she says. "I almost missed half the email."
Roshni tertawa dan mengangguk. "Itu masuk akal juga," katanya. "Saya hampir melewatkan separuh isi surelnya."
They spend the next hour on both topics. The meeting runs long but covers everything.
Mereka menghabiskan satu jam berikutnya untuk kedua topik itu. Rapat berjalan lama tapi semuanya terbahas.
Their manager thanks them both at the end. "Great teamwork today," she says with a smile.
Manajer mereka berterima kasih kepada keduanya di akhir rapat. "Kerja sama tim yang hebat hari ini," katanya sambil tersenyum.
