Thanks for listening to the Learning English for Work podcast from BBC Learning English.
We're working on a new series of our business podcast, Office English for Now.
Here's an episode from last year which teaches you language you can use
in everyday situations at work.
We hope you enjoy it.
Sometimes we have to give or receive bad news at work.
Even if you're really kind of grown up about it, it's still a difficult thing to hear.
So to give that information is equally difficult.
I'd say.
It'S important to remember
that you're talking to a real person and this bad news is going to affect them in a personal way.
And you have to take that into account rather than just following business kind of speak.
In this episode of Office English, we're talking about the language of bad news.
Welcome to Office English,
the podcast where we discuss business language to help you succeed at work.
Today we're talking about bad news.
Nobody likes talking about bad news, right, Phil?
But sometimes at work we have to.
Okay, you're talking about bad news.
What do we mean by bad news at work?
