 你是zero drag(零阻力)員工嗎
[ 2009-04-10 15:03 ]
剛剛走出校園的職場新人們一般都會成為最常被差遣的對象,額外任務、臨時任務,還有累人的出差任務最先考慮的人選往往也是“一人吃飽,全家不餓”的新進人員。領導們這樣做可能是因為剛畢業的新人大多都是無家無口、無拖累的zero drag狀態吧。
In physics, drag refers to the resistance experienced by an object moving through a fluid medium (such as air). Zero drag is an ideal state where the object experiences no resistance at all, much like a highly motivated employee who has few personal responsibilities and so can work long hours, travel frequently, or be called in to work with little notice.
從物理學的角度看,drag指物體在穿過某種流體媒介(如空氣)時受到的阻力,而zero drag則是描述物體不受任何阻力的理想狀態。這種零阻力的狀態就像工作熱情極高又沒有什么個人責任負擔的員工,可以長時間工作、頻繁出差、有任務隨叫隨到。
The ideal zero-drag employee is young, unmarried and childless with no responsibilities and an eagerness to do well.
理想的零阻力員工一般都年輕、未婚、無子女負擔,而且渴望將工作做好。
