In a bid to keep things ticking over during Olympics, bosses at a London company are asking staff to sleep at work -- in space pods, the Daily Mail reported.

Far from sleeping on the job, engineers at the Brick Lane based firm in east London will be asked to stay behind and sleep in the claustrophobic capsules to avoid rush hour.

The stock models are fitted with a standard single mattress as well as a storage shelf, a mirror and power points. (点击《每日邮报》查看原文)

英员工睡胶囊舱避高峰

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,为了确保在今年伦敦奥运会期间能够正常工作,伦敦一家公司的老板要求员工在单位的胶囊舱过夜。

       为了不把工作拖到第二天完成,公司将要求工程师们留下来睡在密闭的胶囊舱内,这样可以避开每天的上下班高峰时段。该公司位于伦敦东区砖头巷。

       这种胶囊舱配有一张标准单人床垫、一个储物架、一块镜子和电源插座。
