Sitting in an open floor plan office or having flexible, unassigned seating at work is a challenge... Open floor plans and "flexible" office seating are common in today's modern, meticulously designed workplaces. While designers and managers hope that they’ll improve communication by encouraging people to talk to one another, more than a few studies have pointed out that they may actually do the opposite, and instead are simply designed to be cost-effective. 2, record 1, English, - unassigned%20seating

In every well-organized Foreign Office there is an important officer called the Chief of Protocol who decides matters relating to the rules of diplomatic and state etiquette and ceremony. He briefs newly-arrived ambassadors-designate on procedures regarding the presentation of credentials and related matters. He is consulted by members of the diplomatic corps on questions regarding precedence, correct procedure, formalities at official ceremonies, courtesies, seating arrangements at dinner, dress and the like. He is the arbiter of ceremonial usage and local custom. His decisions on unofficial matters are not binding but they are generally followed. 1, record 2, English, - Chief%20of%20Protocol
