👉🏼News: Concern group urges action to protect foreign helpers in Hong Kong forced to sleep in toilets and kitchens👈🏼 (‼️link in bio)
//
🖋Summary: An association called Mission For Migrant Workers is now fighting for better accommodation for domestic helpers. More than 3000 domestic helpers were questioned last year and some revealed that they had to sleep in their employers’ toilets and kitchens. For those who had their own bedrooms, the space was used for other purposes as well and their employers could get into their rooms any time. Therefore, it is believed that the current employment contract was too vague and failed to protect the basic rights of domestic helpers. A proper list of “suitable accommodation” should then be drawn up.

幫你們補充這個字permission

「每日英文閱讀分享#033-利害關係人」
▷文章：
Put Your Metrics Where Your Mouth Is
▷總結：
利害關係人(stakeholders)說的算，利害關係人包括customers, employees, suppliers, communities and shareholders
▷討論：
Metrics跟KPI有什麼不同？公司大多採用什麼方式呢？
將說明網站附在留言處，
近年OKR、覆盤、敏捷的概念好像漸漸取代KPI，這種單一性的指標，
這是我第一次看到Metrics這種追蹤方式，雖然感覺跟覆盤概念很像。
對於我們公司來說，OKR的訂定並不難，
但是變化實在太多，覆盤起來就相對困難，卻也有趣。
主要的原因是因為公司制度流程不夠穩定，所以沒辦法很制式的規範。
目前也在慢慢調整當中。
▷單字分享：【rhetoric】
今天跟大家分享一個看似形容詞的名詞，
意思：
speech or writing intended to be effective and influence people--Cambridge Dictionary
例句：
His speech was dismissed as mere rhetoric by the opposition.—Oxford Dictionary
文中例句：
Clearly, Rio Tinto is not the only big Australian miner whose metrics don’t match its rhetoric.

來等小主人下課的乖狗狗^ _ ^
下課的英文怎麼講呢？
如果是中間休息一下，之後再繼續上課的話就用 Take a break.
如果下一堂課不會再上同樣的課，就用： Class dismissed.
dismiss 是解散的意思喔！
