A. In the house next to the man's. Working relationships can be tricky, especially if you are working with people from a different culture. Confusion can appear because they may have different attitudes and ways of doing things. The atmosphere in the office of a Western company may appear informal and friendly. It might lead you to believe that there are fewer rules to observe. But it is a wrong idea that there is a casual attitude in foreign companies. Simply because your boss seems polite and easygoing it doesn't mean you can take advantage of his or her good nature. Western managers like to appear to be friendly. They may invite you to call them by their first names and will address you by your given name. Bosses may try to be "one of the boys (or girls)" by eating in the canteen or buying sandwiches and coffee with other employees. During conferences or brainstorming sessions, employees will be encouraged to contribute their views and will be encouraged to think their opinions matter. This may or may not be the case. Western bosses have learned from management experts that the traditional top/down style of management may not work as well as a flattened (平等的), more democratic style of management. Don't imagine your Western line manager or supervisor is your best buddy. He or she will be well aware of your comings and going, what time you arrive for work, how long you spend at lunch and when you go home. Many managers even have access to your computer and can watch what you are doing on your screen in real time. So take care, you're being observed.
