Hän hyväksyi työn, vaikka työaika oli pitkä ja ylityöstä maksettiin huono palkka.

You should not do too much overtime, even if the working hours are flexible.
Olen tyytyväinen, kun työaika on selkeä eikä kokoushuone ole liian meluisa.
I am satisfied when the working hours are clear and the meeting room is not too noisy.
Esimies ei halua irtisanoa ketään, vaan yrittää ensin neuvotella työajasta ja tehtävistä.
