There are some obvious areas to look at: because of the nature of our work and people being out of the office often, not everyone has his or her own desk and that can be a little frustrating. You may also think that the open plan office is a mistake – I certainly find it difficult sometimes when I have clients on the phone. Then there’s the cosmetic side of it – people do comment on the décor being a little monotonous and impersonal – maybe that’s just a matter of taste.
曹老师您好,这里的being是现在分词表状态作伴随状语,如果去掉being,那么out of the office often介词短语就成了定语修饰people,如果理解的不对,请老师指正!
