新概念雙語：10件事判斷職場人生：你是豬隊友嗎？

Confidence and self-esteem in the workplace can go a long way. Too much of either, though, and you may end up being the dreaded "problem employee."

工作中的自信和自尊可以讓你成功。但是任意一種個性太多都會讓你成為“問題員工”。

If you’ve got an inflated sense of self-worth or are just ignorant of how your bosses and co-workers perceive you, you could be dragging your team down without even realizing it.

如果你自我感覺太過良好或是不管老板和同事對你的評價，你會拖團隊后腿卻不自知。

想知道自己是不是辦公室讓人討厭的人?看看下面的10件事吧。

1. You’re always late.

1. 你總是遲到。

Maybe you just happen to move slowly in the morning, the line at your favorite lunch place adds 10 minutes to your break, or important calls seem to always come up before meetings. Whatever the case, rationalizing it won’t help your reputation. Habitually poor time management will make your boss see you as selfish, disrespectful, unreliable, and disorganized.

也許你早上只是動作慢了點，在最喜歡的餐廳等位子耽誤了10分鐘，開會前又似乎總要接重要的電話。不管是什么情況，你有正當理由也無法挽回風評。糟糕的時間管理會讓你的老板認為你自私、沒禮貌、不可靠而且沒條理。

2. You make a lot of excuses.

2. 你找很多借口。

People take notice when your excuses for why you can’t do something outnumber the times you successfully do your work. And if problems you can’t solve do arise during the day, communicate them to your boss and colleagues immediately and honestly.

當你找借口推脫任務(wù)的次數(shù)多于成功完成任務(wù)的次數(shù)時，別人會注意到。如果工作中出現(xiàn)了你不能解決的問題，立即誠實的跟老板和同事說。

3. You complain about unexpected assignments.

3. 你抱怨額外的工作量。

Nobody likes the surprise of extra work, but if you regularly communicate your dissatisfaction with grumbling or even an explicit denial of the assignment, you will be labeled as someone with a poor work ethic.

沒有人喜歡做額外的工作，但如果你經(jīng)常用抱怨表達不滿甚至直接拒絕任務(wù)，別人會覺得你不敬業(yè)。

4. You love to gossip.

4. 你喜歡嚼舌根。

Getting the inside scoop on your colleagues can be hard to resist, and sharing all your problems with coworkers can be cathartic. But after time, rumors and complaints will be associated with you, and you will lose the respect of your peers.

探聽同事私事的誘惑很難抵抗，和同事分享自己的難題也能舒緩情緒。但是時間長了之后，別人想到你就會想到八卦和抱怨，你會失去同事的尊重。

5. You’re convinced you’re the smartest person in the office.

5. 你堅信自己是辦公室最聰明的人。

Let’s just assume that you are as brilliant as you think you are; you’re still part of a team. And arrogant employees who don’t respect the corporate hierarchy aren’t going to last very long.

我們就算假設(shè)你跟自己腦補的一樣優(yōu)秀，你依然是團隊的一部分。不尊重公司制度的傲慢的人是做不長久的。

6. You don’t believe in your company’s mission or values.

6. 你不相信公司的目標和價值觀。

If you’re regularly making snarky remarks about what your employer stands for, your colleagues will likely have a hard time trusting your judgment on decisions. If you separate yourself from your company, then your employer is going to catch on and could separate from you.

如果你經(jīng)常用刻薄的話評論公司，要做決定時你的同事可能很難相信你的判斷是利于公司的。如果你把自己和公司撇清，那你的雇主也會跟你撇清讓你走人。

7. You’re noticeably less productive than your colleagues.

7. 你的效率明顯比同事低。

If your boss seems to be spending more time with you than your coworkers, and these colleagues are constantly having to assist you, your employer may eventually determine that trying to improve your performance is a waste of time and money.

如果老板在你身上花的時間似乎比在你同事身上多，這些同事又一直在幫你做事，最終老板會認為提高你的工作表現(xiàn)是件費錢費時間的事。

8. Your colleagues clearly don’t enjoy working with you.

8. 你的同事明顯不喜歡跟你一起工作。

If it seems like coworkers aren’t making eye contact with you or are uncomfortable when working with you on a project, it may actually be because they are afraid of you, or at least categorize you as a bad team-player. If you’re too aggressive or pushy, you’ll come to be seen as a "lone wolf" that no one wants to deal with.

如果同事跟你一起做項目時與你沒有眼神交流，或者覺得不舒服，可能是因為他們怕你，或者至少沒把你當成好伙伴。如果你太強勢或固執(zhí)，你會被當做“一匹孤獨的狼”，沒有人愿意和你相處。

9. You find yourself regularly apologizing to clients — or having your boss do it for you.

9. 你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己經(jīng)常跟客戶道歉，或老板經(jīng)常替你道歉。

Everyone makes mistakes, but if it seems like your customers are regularly dissatisfied with your work, your employer is going to start seeing you as a danger to the company.

每個人都會犯錯誤，但如果客戶經(jīng)常不滿意你的工作，你的雇主會覺得你對公司有害。

10. You can’t take "no" for an answer.

10. 你不接受別人的否定。

If you find yourself defending your idea even after everyone has expressed he or she disagrees with it, you’ll start to be seen as a troublemaker. Sometimes you just need to let things go for the sake of the team.

如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己即使在所有人都不同意你的想法后依然為自己辯護，別人會覺得你很麻煩。有時候為了團隊，得過且過就行了。
