Speaker Four
男子:我曾经在餐饮行业工作,后来升职成了餐饮经理,但是一开始我还是在跟其他的员工打打闹闹。
My duties included doing the rounds when everyone else had left. One evening, one of my staff put several thousand pounds' worth of frozen food in a fridge by mistake. I should have discovered this, but I didn't, and the next day the food was ruined.
我的工作内容包括在其他人下班后继续值班。一天晚上,我的一个员工误把价值好几千英镑的冷冻食品放到了冰箱里。我本来应该发现这个问题的,但我没有,第二天,那些东西就都浪费了。
When I told my boss, I treated it as a joke, and put the blame on the person who'd made the mistake. My boss made it clear that I was ultimately answerable for what my staff did, and if my attitude didn't change I'd be out of a job. Needless to say, it did change, and quickly.
当我跟老板反应的时候我把这个事情当成了一个玩笑,还把责任推到了犯错误的那个人身上。老板明确表示,我手下的员工的过失最后都是我的过失,而且,如果我不改变态度,就会被辞退。不用说,最后我的态度改变了,而且改变得很快。
