Situation A. Dealign with Office Issues

Speak Out

Script
Adam :
Hi, Riley. I do hope you’re doing well. I wanted to submit a request for some supplies we need. Is this a good time to go over the list with you?
Riley :
Of course. I’m available to help you. What items are you requesting?
Adam :
We need some printer paper and toner cartridges. I also want to stress the importance of getting a new whiteboard.
Riley :
We’re out of toner cartridges. If I order them now, they’ll arrive in a few days. Is that okay?
Adam :
Yes, that works for me. Also, the office copier is having issues with blurry copies and frequent paper jams. Could we get it repaired?
Riley :
Sure. I’ll have a repairperson stop by ASAP. Also, I heard that some new employees are supposed to join your department soon.
Adam :
Yes, that’s correct. It’s important to make sure our new employees have all the necessary tools and resources to get started. Can we get employee ID cards and office supplies for the new hires?
Riley :
Absolutely. I’ll order them so that they arrive in time for the new employees’ start date.
Adam :
Thank you for your assistance.
