The boss makes that kind of meeting to discuss a few problems that happen in the restaurant . I won ' t speak bad words . This is an important thing when I speak in front of coworkers . Therefore , we share our ideas with them . After that we can enjoy the rest of the meeting .
I speak a lot with my co-workers . I mean that I must talk to a lot of them , but I love to speak with everybody . That is why my boss is angry with me .
