  Criticizing 1 a Co-Worker

批评同事

陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作。他跟美国同事Amy一起往办公室走。

(Office ambience)

A: Hi Chen Hao. How are you today?

C: 还可以,不过工作上有点烦心事。

A: Anything I can help you with?

C: 我们组来了个新同事,叫Sue 2. 她很有创意。

A: Why is there an issue?

C: 虽然她很有能力,但是靠不住。

A: In what way?

C: 每次来开会,她事先都不做准备。

A: Does she know what is expected?

C: 那当然,我们每次都提前公布议事日程,布置每个人的任务,但是Sue每次都空着手来。

A: Does she have a reason for coming unprepared?

C: 她觉得没什么大不了。一开会,就会提出一大堆创意。

A: Tell me why this is a problem.

C: 问题是,为了她,我们每次上来还要重复开会的议题。她不做准备,结果是让我们大家浪费时间。

A: I hate to cut this short, but we are both going to be late. Can we continue this conversation later?

C: 好,一会儿见。

中午吃饭时。

A: Tell me about your problem with Sue. You are the team leader. Have you talked to her about arriving unprepared?

C: 我作为小组组长,也找她谈过,但是没用,她找出各种理由,而且她确实很有工作能力,我也不想失去她。

A: Sounds to me as if you need to talk to your boss now.

C: 告诉老板?那不成打小报告了吗?

A: If you have handled things right up to this point and given Sue a chance to correct her behavior, you need support from upper management.

C: 有没有两全其美的办法,既能解决问题,又不对Sue构成伤害呢?

A: Do it as quickly as possible before the situation gets worse.

C: 去找老板之前,我需要征求其他同事的意见吗?

A: That will only create more conflict and conversation plus cause additional 3 trouble for you and Sue.

C: 具体该怎么做?

A: Gather all your facts and documentation, making sure to separate any personal feelings from your professional opinions.

C: 这我知道,要如实说明情况,不能搀杂个人色彩。

A: When you approach your boss, give Sue credit 4 for her talent and expertise 5 before you mention her approach to team issues.

C: 好,还有呢?

A: Let your boss know what you have done to try to correct the problem and your ideas to correct the situation without losing Sue.

C: 我如果不去管它,情况会不会自己好起来呢?

A: It rarely does. You need to face the issue with your associate first as you already have. Since that has not worked, approach your boss and seek advice to resolve 6 the issue to the benefit of all.
