1
Hey Veronica, do you have a second?
2
Don't I always.
3
It was brought to my attention that you have a second job.
4
Yes, I do have a second job.
5
I advised you guys, I think right at the beginning of the year, when you guys send out an email asking if we have a second job.
6
We really would just prefer if you didn't have a second job.
7
We like our people to focus.
8
What do you mean you would prefer that I didn't have a second job?
9
Why does my second job have anything to do with this job.
10
We really just prefer for you to focus, you know, on one, on one job, if that makes sense.
11
Well, as long as I do my job here, when I'm here, you don't have to worry about me not focusing on doing my job here
12
because I do that when I'm here.
13
After 5 p.m when I go home, you have nothing to do with that.
14
You don't need to worry what I'm doing with my free time, but I, I'm not going to let go of my second job.
15
Listen, girl, I completely get where you're coming from.
16
I just, um, we really we like to hone it in we like to keep our people focused here, avoid any conflicts of interest.
17
It's just very important to us for our employees, our staff to not be boggled down with, you know, a hundred other thoughts from other jobs.
18
I mean, if it's that important to you, I'm actually willing to let it go.
19
Really?
20
Okay, good.
21
That's great.
22
Yeah, I'll let it go.
23
I'm just gonna need a new offer letter reflecting the salary increase
24
that I'm gonna get to make up for what I'm going to be losing from my second job.
25
So exactly what I'm losing over there is what I need you to bump up my salary to here.
26
Now, Veronica, you know, I can't do that.
27
You know, I can't do that.
28
But I thought you preferred me to only have one job.
29
If you prefer me to only work for you, then you're going to do what it takes to keep me only working for you, right?
30
That's what it's going to take.
31
With the cost of living now, there's no way people, people, including myself, can survive on just one job with a mediocre salary.
32
So I'm happy to quit, but I expect you to make up the difference.
33
Otherwise, you don't have to worry yourself about my second job.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
