Re: Notes from March 23 meeting
DATE: March 24
Thank you for meeting with me yesterday. This memo documents our discussion and our ideas for addressing the company's current situation.
In the long run, we must be flexible in order to deal with the problems our company faces. But more immediately, we should show the CEO that we can work with reduced staff to achieve our goals.
We have a great opportunity to produce a fine product even though the number of employees on our assembly line has been reduced. As we agreed yesterday, we want to increase our global reach while boosting our ability to provide our products locally. This is a key balance that we must continue to pursue.
We also agreed to meet again on Tuesday of next week to discuss additional strategies for achieving these goals. When our two departments have discussed our ideas, we can schedule a meeting with the executive team to present our suggestions.
As you pointed out yesterday, we have experienced some significant layoffs as a result of the recent merger. Like you, I'm concerned that the remaining employees may feel overwhelmed because of their increased workloads. But I know I can count on you and your team to implement the new strategies for expanding our sales. I am optimistic about the future of our company. I am sure that, working together, we can come to a consensus about the next steps we should take

When I travel on business, I don't want to waste time deciding what to eat, where to eat, or how to get to a restaurant. The best idea is to ask about places to eat before you leave on your trip. Find out if friends, family, and co-workers know of any good restaurants in the city where you will be staying. Write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any restaurants that are recommended to you. Be sure to put this list in your wallet or purse so it's easy to find.
If you can't get any helpful before you go, you can always ask for advice at the hotel where you are staying. The person you should talk to for suggestions is usually called the concierge. The concierge's job is to help guests make restaurant reservations, get tickets to theater or music events for them, or to suggest places for them to shop.
Talk to the concierge as early as you can. Tell the concierge what kind of food you want (I always ask for a good Italian restaurant, as most cities seem to have one). In addition, tell the concierge what time you want to eat, how far you want to travel, and how much money you want to spend. This is a very fast and easy way to find good restaurants if you didn't get recommendations before leaving home.
Good luck and happy eating!

(A)ask people about it before you travel

(B)ask the travel agents
