There are some obvious areas to look at: because of the nature of ourwork and people being out of the officeoften, not everyone has his or her own desk and that can be a littlefrustrating. You may also think that the open plan office is a mistake – I certainlyfind it difficult sometimes when I have clients on the phone. Then there’s thecosplaymetic side of it – people do comment on the décor being a little monotonous and impersonal – maybe that’s just amatter of taste.
曹老师你好，这里的being是目前分词表状况作随着状语，假如去掉being，那样out of the office often介词短语就成了定语修饰people，假如理解的不对，请老师指正！
你理解错误。people beingout of the office often 为动名词复合结构，与 the nature of our work并列，一同做介词because of的宾语。 thedécor being a little monotonous and impersonal 也是动名词复合结构，作介词on的宾语。
