R: so, Emily, how was your day?
E: I don’t think you really want to hear about it.
R: it can’t have been that bad. Go on and tell me about it.
E: to be honest, it was terrible! My manager is such a pain in the neck!
R: why? What happened?
E: well, he made quite a few mistakes on the monthly report and when his supervisor found them, my manager blamed them on me!
R: that’s not very fair. What did you do?
E: there wasn’t really anything that I could do. There’s always been a lot of bad blood between my manager and myself. If I had said anything, he would have fired me for sure.
R: does he treat everyone in your department like this?
E: he treats everyone pretty badly, but the way he treats me really takes the cake!
R: do you have any idea why he treats you worse than the others?
E: I really have no idea. All I know is that the thought of him really curls my hair!
R: is there anyone else you can talk to about it at your company?
E: not really. I’m hoping to live with it for a while until I get a promotion.
R: that’s very sensible. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.
E: I try to be sensible about it, but it’s not very easy. Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it.
R: that’s so true. When you have a taste for success, you can’t let dishonest people like your manager get in the way.

R:嗨，艾米麗，最近過的怎麼樣？
E:我想你不會想聽我發牢騷的。
R:情況能有多糟糕呢。跟我說說吧。
E:老實說，真是糟透了！我上司實在是太討厭了。
R:爲什麼這麼說？除了什麼事了？
E:嗯，他寫的每月報告裏出了好多錯，結果他的主管發現之後，他居然都賴在我頭上。
R:真是不公平。那你該怎麼辦？
E:實際上我無計可施。我們倆的關係一直很緊張。只要我隨便說點什麼，他肯定就會把我給抄了。
R:他對你們部門的其他人也是這樣嗎？
E:他對每個人都不怎麼樣。但尤其對我，可以說是壞到了極點。
R:你知道他爲什麼對你比其他人都糟糕嗎？
E:我還是不明白。我只是知道他的想法足以讓我膽戰心驚！
R:這些遭遇你能跟公司裏的其他什麼人交流嗎？
E:恐怕不能。我只希望自己能堅持忍耐知道升職。
R:這樣就對了。你能這麼想，說明你還是挺聰明的。
E:我努力讓自己儘量保持客觀地去看待這件事，但真是不容易做到。有時我不得不逆來順受。
R:沒錯。你要你升值成功，像你上司這樣不誠實的人就不能再爲所欲爲了。
