i'm fairly certain not everyone gave such answers. what is the editor of the magazine doing?!!! they make the staff sound soo...so...dumb. what's the whole point of this article?!!!
Maybe there is some internal thing going on. Okie- a conspiracy :)) They might want to show only a certain type of character here. Is this representative?
imp, the editor probably printed interviewees' comments wholesale. my company staff not so proficient in english you see...
san, well, having been in the company for 8 months, i think the view is quite representative, unfortunately...
