职场生活不要太随便

【www.jxsbsh.com--职场】

　　宽松的工作环境很容易就会让人忘乎所以、随便过了头，那么该如果确定这个界限呢?接下来，小编给大家准备了,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。

　　At one time, offices were the epitome1 of formality where bosses were addressed as "Mr." or "Mrs." and you wore only suits or dresses (complete with pantyhose).

　　过去，办公室是正式场合的象征，称呼老板用“先生”、“女士”，你会只穿西装或裙子(和连身裤袜)。

　　Now, many workplaces have a business casual dress code with even more casual Fridays, and the bosses -- who go by their first names -- are your Facebook friends.

　　现在，许多工作场所的着装规定都很宽松，周五休闲日的规定更是随意。被直呼其名的老板们是你社交网站Facebook上的朋友。

　　Employers relaxed the rules to enhance workplace attitudes. If you're on the phone or on the computer all day, it doesn't matter if you're wearing a tie. At least you'd think so.

　　雇主放宽规定的目的是为了改善工作态度。如果你成天都是用电话、电脑办公，那么打不打领带无所谓——至少你是这么认为。

　　Of course, as with all things good, too much can be detrimental2. How can you have a relaxed, casual environment while still maintaining your professionalism?

　　当然，和所有事情一样，都会有过犹不及的时候。要如何即保持职业化又获得轻松、随意的工作环境呢?

　　To befriend or not to befriend

　　要不要够朋友

　　Friendships are commonplace in all jobs. They exist between colleagues and sometimes between employees and their bosses. Try as you might, switching from friendship to professional mode while you're on the clock can be difficult. For the sake of your office, however, you might want to try harder.

　　一切工作中都会有友谊。同事之间有友谊;老板和员工之间也有友谊。工作中要想从友谊状态转到职业状态往往是一件困难的事情，你尽管去尝试一下看看。不过，为了你的工作，你也许会希望为此付出更多努力。

　　"We spend so much of our day at work that people often forget where the line between work and personal life should be drawn," says Roberta Chinsky Matuson, president of Human Resources Solutions. "Discussions regarding what you did last night and with whom are not necessarily conversations one should be having at work."

　　Human Resources Solutions公司总裁Roberta Chinsky Matuson说：“我们每天会花很多时间在工作上，以至于人们经常忘记该怎么样划分工作和个人生活的界线。昨天晚上你和谁做了什么不是在工作中必须讨论的。”

　　Matuson also reminds you that what you say to a close co-worker can be overheard by many other people in the desks or cubicles3 within earshot. Even if no one else hears, you could be talking to the wrong person in the first place.

　　Matuson还提醒说，你对一位亲密同事说的话可能被听力所及范围内的办公隔间、办公桌旁的其他许多人听见。即便没人听见，可能一开始你就找错了说话对象。

　　You might be close with your boss, but giving information that could undermine your reliability4 or professionalism can harm your career down the road when it's time for a promotion5.

　　也许你和老板的关系很近，但是透露了会有损你可靠程度、职业水准的消息会在以后晋升的时候影响到你的事业。

　　How to tell when you've gone too far

　　如何辨识随便过了头

　　Your words, appearance and behavior are three key factors in gauging1 whether work has become too casual, according to Todd Dewett, management professor at Wright State University and author of "Leadership Redefined."

　　根据莱特州立大学管理学教授、《重新定义领导艺术》一书作者Todd Dewett的观点，你的言谈、外表、举止是衡量工作是不是过于随便的三个关键因素。

　　Your words: Among the warning signs are, according to Dewett, "The use of expletives, overly familiar terms (calling someone by [his or her] first name or a nickname when few others do), using common slang deemed inappropriate for work communication or failing to use appropriate jargon2 for your particular work context."

　　你的言谈：Dewett认为一些需要警示的现象有“脏词、过于亲昵的词(直呼某人名字或绰号，而别人很少那么做)、使用被认为不适合用于工作交流的常用俚语，或者没有在特殊工作环境下使用适当的专业术语。”

　　Common sense still rules all, and that means the topics long considered taboo3 are still off limits. The humor that you find edgy4 but others could perceive as racist5, sexist or any other form of offensive should just be left to private conversations between you and your friends outside of company time.

　　常识仍然占据主导位置，这意味着长期以来被认为是禁忌的话题依然是不被允许谈论的。你觉得新奇的幽默，别人可能会认为具有种族色彩、性别歧视或其他任何形式的冒犯，这些幽默应该只在你和朋友工作时间外私下的谈话中分享。

　　Your appearance: "This includes both attire6 and grooming7," Dewett says. The obvious wardrobe error is dressing8 down too much, including jeans and belly-revealing shirts, not to mention showing a lot of cleavage or tattoos9 and piercings (if it's not the norm for your occupation).

　　你的外表：Dewett 说：“这(外表)包括着装和修饰”。明显的着装错误就是穿着太随便，包括穿牛仔裤、露脐衫，更别提露出大部分乳沟或纹身和人体刺穿(如果这不是你所在行业的标准的话)。

　　When it comes to grooming, the rules are pretty much common sense: Keep the style and color appropriate to your field and bathe on a regular basis.

　　修饰方面的规定很大部分是常识性的：保持风格、颜色和你的工作领域相称，勤洗澡。

　　Your behavior: "This could include too much socializing at work, socializing that is perceived as too personal and too often getting inside another person's personal space, which for most Western cultures is about arm's length," Dewett says.

　　你的举止：Dewett 说：“这包括工作中过多地交际，过多地进行太私人化的交际、过多进入别人的个人空间——在多数西方文化中，个人空间是指一臂长的距离。”
