What is the best thing about working together?
Tanya: “I’d say the best thing is just that we get to spend more time together, even if it is at work.”
Dave: “I agree – just spending time with her. She helps me to do any tasks that need to be done too.”
What is the worst thing about working together?
Tanya: “When Dave thinks he can boss me around!”
Dave: “The worst thing about working together is when she does things to wind me up; she annoys me on purpose when at work. For example, when I have all the right breads together she will mess them up just because she knows I have OCD about it! And she also tries to lock me in the fridge!”
How do you keep it professional in the workplace?
Dave: “We just have to act normal and just do our jobs.”
Tanya: “Yeah, we just have to make sure that we leave our personal life at home.”
How do you cope on shift together?
Dave: “We do work well together – we get things done easily. That said, sometimes we lose concentration because we start talking about things that have to be done at home!”
Tanya: “I think that we work really well together.”
Dave: “Our boss didn’t really want us on the same shifts when he found out we were going out because he thought we wouldn’t work as hard. He recently let us though and it went well. Generally, it’s better because I’m happier whilst working with Tanya.”
