高考英语作文3800字：老板不喜欢员工的7个理由(Boss hates staffs 7 reasons )
go on, admit it: you hate your boss. you do. the way they accost you with: "itll just take five minutes" as youre trying to leave. the way they smile patronisingly when they read your appraisal request for more training. just them having power over you for eight hours every day is enough to make you spit with fury.
but at least were not alone in our angst. it seems bosses are also a bit cross: they hate us, too. all of us.
the result of all this is that while your boss might look like shes fine, inside shes seething. you think you hate your boss? here are the top 10 things your boss hates about you.
1. lateness
everyone has days when the bus breaks down, the washing machine packs up, or the alarm doesnt go off. the problem is that some people have those days monday through friday. but what really cheeses off your boss is your lame ecuse.
2. lack of initiative
"dont ask me if you should buy lunch for the client, if the client is coming at noon," said one infuriated manager. "call up the client and ask if they want lunch." actually thats not quite what he said: there was a lot more swearing in the original version. managers absolutely hate being bothered by stuff that really, if you thought about it for even a second, you could work out for yourself. they also hate constant updates and being ccd in on everything. they pay you to do a job get on with it...
3. too much initiative
... unless youre an idiot. a marketing manager for a large educational charity reports that if theres one thing worse than lack of initiative, its completely ignoring instructions to go off and do something else instead. she recently found herself on stage, ready to announce the winner of an award. when the person responsible for counting the votes turned up, he showed off a new, whizzy and completely redundant color-coded method for counting the votes.
4. lack of passion. or interest
it might come as a surprise to you, but your boss has a life outside work. they too find it hard to get up in the morning. and they find the managing directors speeches as boring as you do. but they have to stay motivated, because they are the boss. so, when you fall asleep in meetings, cant remember the names of your accounts and tell them it doesnt matter whether the e-mail goes today or tomorrow, it reminds them that they dont really give a toss either, but that its their job to make themselves, and you, care. then they get really, really irritated.
5. trying to be their best friend
they dont want to go down the pub with you, they dont want to hear about what you really think of their boss, and they most certainly dont want to know what happened between you and andy in the loos last friday. they like you, but they know from bitter eperience that if they show too much interest, youll start treating them like a friend and refuse to take orders.
6. petty lying
saying that you missed the call because your mobile has run out of power. that you didnt get the e-mail. that youve sent the report but there must be a technical glitch. that the meeting has run over and its not worth your coming back to the office. that you have to go to a funeral, the dentist, the doctor, your mums house, your best friends cousins wedding. whatever. the biggest insult is that you think they believe you.
7. wanting their job
they spend all their time and energy trying to protect you from the higher-ups, you spend all your energy complaining about them. and then, on top of that, you want their job? unforgivable.
