You and a coworker are supposed to meet for a video call at 9am. Your coworker joins twenty minutes late and says it was because of internet issues, which happens often in your area. Frustrated, you want to gently call out the lateness, so you say:
AIt's fine, this meeting probably wasn't going to start on time anyway.
BI know. The internet around here is always unreliable, especially in the mornings.
CI really wish our provider would finally fix the internet issues in this area.
DIf you'd tested your connection ahead of time, you might not have been late.Doğru cevap
ENext time, maybe try joining from the office instead? The connection there is more stable.
Neden?
Amaç, gecikmeyi nazikçe ama açıkça dile getirmektir; doğru seçenek sorumluluğu alınmayan bir önleme ('testing your connection') bağlayarak bunu yapar. 'It's fine' ve 'the internet is always unreliable' mazereti kabul edip uyarıyı düşürür. 'Next time, try joining from the office' ise yalnızca ileriye dönük öneri sunar, gecikmeye değinmez.
