A: Do you get along with your boss?
B: actually I do. She is really understanding and reasonable most of the time. There was only one time I didn’t really agree with her.
A: when was that?
B: once she fired one of my co-workers for drinking on the job. I felt bad for him, because it is so hard to find a job thses days, and he has a family to support.
A: well, he shouldn’t have been drinking on duty. It’s your boss’ responsibility to make sure employees are safe, and also doing their jobs.
B: you are right. She was being a good boss when she fired him, but I just felt sorry for him, that’s all.
A: did this incident with your co-worker affect your relationship with your boss?
B: not really. All of us at the office respect our boss a lot.
A: you’re lucky you can get along so well with your boss. It makes a big difference in how much you enjoy your job.
B: no kidding. If you don’t like your biss or your co-workers, they can make your life miserable.
你和老板關(guān)系好嗎?
說實話,很好,大多數(shù)情況下她很有同情心,很通情達(dá)理。只有一次我和她意見很不一致。
什么時候?
又一次因為我的一個同事上班時間喝酒,她解雇了他。我替這個同事感到難過,因為最近找工作真是太難了,何況他還要養(yǎng)活一家人。
事實是,他真不應(yīng)該上班時間喝酒,老板的責(zé)任就是確保每個員工不出錯,而且還有盡職盡責(zé)。
你說的對。即使開除這個員工,她也是個好老板。我只是為我的同事感到惋惜,僅此而已。
