Scene: A conference room in a modern office building. The room is furnished with a large
conference table, comfortable chairs, and a whiteboard. There are water bottles and coffee mugs
on the table.

(All seven characters are present in the conference room, except for Steve, the CEO, who enters
a few minutes late.)

Mary: Good morning, everyone. Let's start the meeting. Today, we're here to discuss the issue of
work pressure.

John: About time. I feel like I'm constantly on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

Emily: Same here. The workload is insane, and there's no end in sight.

Tom: I agree. And with all the technology problems we're having, it's just making things worse.

Sarah: The customers are getting more demanding by the day, and it's putting a lot of pressure on
my team.

Mark: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I just want to say that I'm feeling overwhelmed too.

Mary: Thank you, Mark. That's important to hear. Steve, what do you think about this issue?

Steve: (sighs) Look, I know you're all under a lot of pressure, and I'm sorry about that. But we
need to keep pushing forward. We're a successful company, and we can't afford to slow down.

John: But how can we keep going at this pace? We're burning out.

Emily: Yeah, I've already seen a few of my team members quit because of the stress.

Sarah: Me too. And that's hurting our customer service ratings.


Tom: And we're losing productivity with all these IT issues. We need more resources.

Mark: And I feel like I'm drowning in work. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.

Mary: It's clear that we need to address this issue before it becomes a bigger problem. Steve, I
suggest we bring in some outside consultants to help us find solutions.

Steve: I don't know if that's necessary.

Mary: With all due respect, Steve, you're not the one feeling the pressure that everyone here is
experiencing. We need to take action before it's too late.

John: Mary's right. We need to find some way to alleviate this pressure.

Emily: Maybe we could hire more staff to lighten the load.

Tom: Or invest in better technology to prevent these constant issues.

Sarah: And we need to look at ways to improve our customer service without sacrificing the
mental health of our employees.

Mark: And maybe we could have more flexible work hours or work from home options.

Steve: Okay, okay. I hear you all. Let's start by bringing in those consultants that Mary
suggested. We can go from there.

Mary: Thank you, Steve. I think that's a good start.

(As the meeting ends, the characters all leave the room, feeling a sense of relief that their
concerns have been heard.)

End of skit.
