Hey , man , look , what's on the wall over there ?   Don't you know that ? It's all about new office rules .   What does it say ?   It says smoking is not allowed in any private offices . It might be the most terrible thing for you .   I can smoke outside of the office . But what else does it say ?   If you want to ask for leave , you should get the approval from the manager in charge of your department .   But if there is an emergency and the manager is of absence , what should we do ?   The note says you should call your manager first , and then tell him your reason , and then ask him for the approval .   OK , OK , got it . By the way , what about the vacation policy ? Anything changed ?   No . We still enjoy 10 - day of paid vacation per year .
