Hi Duncan, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you because I'm facing some challenges at work and I could really use your advice. Firstly, I have a colleague named Sebastian who is incredibly lazy and not very friendly towards me. It's been difficult working with him, especially because whenever there's a problem, our manager always seems to blame me. I feel like I'm constantly being unfairly targeted. On top of that, I suspect that Sebastian and his friends are using the gym without paying. It's frustrating to see this happening and not knowing what to do about it. If I were to report this to the manager, it might create even more tension and problems with Sebastian. Recently, I came across a job advertisement for a position at a new gym. Although the salary would be lower, it's part of a large chain, which means there might be more opportunities for growth in the future. I'm considering applying for this job, but I wanted to get your opinion on it. In addition, I was wondering if we could meet up for coffee sometime this week to discuss these issues further. Your perspective and advice would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know when you're available. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Tom
