[如何搞定坏老板的双语阅读]双语阅读
The most pressing problems at work might be struggling with a “bad boss” or a hopelesslytoxic work environment.
工作中最大、最致命的问题可能就是有个“二货老板”或者毫无希望的、令人崩溃的工作环境。
A bad boss is a big problem, and not easily fixed. In fact, front-line leaders are the primarydrivers of employee engagement (or lack thereof) . If you are working for a bad boss I suggestyou try these tactics over a three- to six-month period.
坏老板是个大问题，而且不好解决。其实一线领导往往是公司的领头人(也可能是没有决策力的二货)。如果你有一个二货老板，我建议你在3-6个月的时间里试试下面的办法。
1) Make sure you aren’t the one with the problem.
先闹明白了是不是自己的问题。
Have you always thought your boss was an idiot no matter where you worked? Do yourteammates seem to think the boss is OK? Any chance you have unrealistic demands? Or maybethe boss slighted you years ago but you’re holding onto that grudge like a dog on a bone? Areyou negative all the time, about everybody? Don’t let this possibility insult you. Take a deepbreath and really think about it. If you’re sure it’s not you, move on to step number 2.
你是不是无论在哪家公司都觉得你的老板是二货?你的同事却都认为老板还OK?你是不是有些不切实际的小愿望?还是你和老板原来结过什么梁子，然后你就像条狗一样咬住了不撒嘴?你是不是老觉得别人都是二货?当然，我也不是说你就是个二货。你可以深呼吸一下，然后认真琢磨一下。如果你真的觉得不是你自己的问题，那么咱再看第二点。
2) Realize that your boss is human, and imperfect.
闹明白你老板是个人，不是神。
Similar to step one, make sure you don’t just need to give your boss a break. Kind of like whatwe need to do for our parents after we grow up. We need to realize that people become bossesand don’t always get the training or coaching they need to succeed. They, too, have demands,pressures, to-do lists, and maybe even their own bad boss. They make mistakes sometimes. (Don’t you?)
跟第一点差不多，先闹明白你不是死揪着老板不放的那种人。这就跟你长大了看你爸妈一个样。咱得明白，有些人当了老板，却并没有人教过他们怎么去当老板。他们也会有需求，有压力，有任务，自己上头也有个二货老板。他们确实偶尔会犯二。(你就不犯二了?)
Observe your boss for a few days and try to notice how many things she does well versuspoorly. When she is doing something “bad” try to imagine the most forgiving reason why itcould have occu
