less jostling Explanation: A company with fewer people breathing down your neck or looking over your shoulder... Where there is elbow room to get on with your work... In traffic 'en på bagsmækken' is someone who drives too close, jostling or trying to overtake. It may also be a police patrol. Lots of possible expressions. In a long sentence like the context you give, I would probably choose a short one like jostling. |
