Zane gets a meeting invite for Thursday at ten. The subject line just says "Team Meeting." He assumes it means hiring.
赞恩收到一封会议邀请，时间是星期四十点。主题栏只写着“团队会议”。他以为是要讨论招聘。
Roshni gets the exact same invite. She assumes it means the yearly budget. Both start preparing different materials.
罗什妮收到了完全一样的邀请。她以为是要讨论年度预算。两个人开始准备不同的材料。
Zane makes a slide about three new job openings. Roshni makes a spreadsheet about department costs. Neither checks with the other person.
赞恩做了一页关于三个新职位空缺的幻灯片。罗什妮做了一份关于部门成本的电子表格。谁也没有和对方确认。
Thursday morning arrives, and both walk into the room. Zane opens his laptop first. "I have the hiring slides ready," he says.
星期四早上到了，两个人都走进了会议室。赞恩先打开了笔记本电脑。“我的招聘幻灯片准备好了。”他说。
Roshni looks confused. "This is about the budget," she says. She opens her own spreadsheet on the screen.
罗什妮一脸困惑。“这是讲预算的。”她说。她在屏幕上打开了自己的表格。
They both check the meeting invite again. The message says, "Let's cover hiring and budget together." Neither of them read it fully.
两个人又看了一遍会议邀请。上面写着：“我们一起讨论招聘和预算。”他们谁都没有把邮件读完整。
"We can do both today," Zane says. "Your numbers first, then my slides."
“我们今天可以两件事都讨论，”赞恩说，“先看你的数字，再看我的幻灯片。”
Roshni laughs and nods. "That actually makes sense," she says. "I almost missed half the email."
罗什妮笑着点了点头。“这样倒挺合理，”她说，“我差点漏看了半封邮件。”
They spend the next hour on both topics. The meeting runs long but covers everything.
接下来的一个小时，他们把两个话题都谈了。会议开得久了点，但所有内容都讲到了。
Their manager thanks them both at the end. "Great teamwork today," she says with a smile.
会议结束时，经理谢了他们两个。“今天配合得真好。”她笑着说。
