39.工作瓶颈


常用应急场景


范例一:Boss talked to me


The boss had an informal discussion 1 with me this morning, I feel really down.


What’s up?


Well, actually I failed to meet a deadline last week and I forgot to answer an e-mail for a VIP customer yesterday.


Anything that distracts 2 you from work?


Yes, everything. I feel overwhelmed 3 by the daily work. Sometimes, I just can’t focus on what I am doing. What is worse, though I make plans for a whole week, I always have to make changes later on because other things come up. I can’t manage my time well. I can’t handle work well. I am afraid I was screw 4 up more things.


Look, Lucy. Things are not so bad as you said. This is our company’s busiest time in a year. You need to relax a little. Don’t push yourself too hard, ok?


Well, I will try.


范例二:Manager did wrong


How do you think a manager should react to an employee’s unsatisfactory work?


If I were a manager, I would have a private talk with this employ to figure out the reasons. It is very important to have this one-to-one discussion in an unthreatening situation without any distraction 5.


Exactly, I overheard 6 a manager scold his employee in the elevator this morning, they were from the company on the 12th floor, I guess. They were only three of us in the elevator, I felt very embarrassed to be in the middle of them.


Well, I guess the employee would feel more embarrassed and probably angry. Anyway, it is not wise at all to give a harsh 7 time to your employee in front of others, especially strangers.


Sure, no matter what happened, they should wait to discuss in their office and find the solution in a positive way.
