Not all business operations should necessarily be handled in-house; it can often be cheaper and more efficient to give some of the work to outside contractors. But as wise as such a decision might seem, that doesn't mean your employees have to like it.

Today's Lesson
OUTSOURCE   外注する

Explanation

  • To outsource is to contract with an outside supplier for goods or services rather than obtaining them from within your own organization.
  • outsource とは、商品やサービスを、自分の組織内で調達するのではなく、外部の供給者と契約をする、つまり、外注する、という意味です。

  3. (two employees on their lunch hour)
    a: What are you looking in the want ads for?
