23、o such choice.Work begins at the same oddly specific time every day9:06 am.In contrast to a more conventional 9 am kick-off,employees in Pivotal Softwares 20 offices around the globe have to be at work and ready to go precisely six minutes later.At that time a cowbell is rung and employees gather fo
24、r a brief stand-up meeting.After that its a long time to work,with no other meetings or distractions throughout the working day.They focus on working until 6 pm sharp,at which point everybody stops working.So whats the reason behind this unique timekeeping?Company CEO Rob Mee explains its about maki

28、 alone:Silicon Valley has long been associated with an alternative working culture.Google has “nap pods” and meditation classes,while Netflix offers a years paid parental leave (亲子假).参考范文The text tells us about the starting working time.Pivotal Software begins at 9:06 am because CEO Rob Mee believes
29、 that it helps employees become more efficient.(要点1)Firstly,it ensures workers begin to work at a good time,not too late in the morning.By choosing a usual time the requirement seems funny rather than strict.(要点2)Rob is also concerned about employees missing breakfast because if they dont eat breakfast,they will have an early lunch and then have to face a very long afternoon of work.(要点3) Some other companies have other alternative working cultures.(要点4)
