【篇一】四川一摄影工作室的未达业绩员工竟被罚喝马桶水

From crawling on the streets to eating bittergourds, some companies in China are infamous for their unique methods of 'motivating' underperforming employees.

This time around, a photography studio in Sichuan has come under the spotlight for making its staff drink toilet water as punishment for not meeting their targets, after a video clip of the act attracted widespread attention.

According to reports, three employees were filmed using paper cups to scoop water from a squat toilet, before hesitantly drinking from the cups.

According to Red Star News, a woman in charge of training new employees at the photo studio had given them several tasks to complete.

If they failed to meet the targets they had set for themselves, they would be punished. Some of the punishments included drinking from the toilet and eating earthworms.

One of the female victims, a long-time employee of the studio, told Chengdu Business Daily that she was deeply affected by the incident, which caused her to lose her appetite for several days after.

And when she received a link to the video clip and saw herself in it, she decided to file a police report.

The photo studio's manager told local media that he was away when the incident took place and expressed shock and anger over the mistreatment of his employees.

【篇二】译文

从街头爬行到吃苦瓜，中国的一些公司因其独特“激励”表现不佳的员工的方式而臭名昭著。

这一次，一段关于四川一间摄影工作室因员工没有达到他们的目标而被罚喝马桶水的视频片段，在网上引起了广泛的关注。

据报道，三名员工被拍到用纸杯从蹲式厕所里舀水，然后拿着杯子迟疑地喝下去。

据《红星新闻》报道，负责培训摄影工作室新员工的一名女性给了这几个员工要完成的任务。

如果他们没有达到为自己设定的目标，他们就会受到惩罚。其中一些惩罚措施包括喝厕所的水和吃蚯蚓。

其中一名女性受害者是工作室的一名长期雇员，她向《成都商报》透露，针对此事她深受其害，导致她事后几天都没有食欲。

当她收到视频剪辑的链接并看到自己在里面的时候，她决定向警方报案。

照片工作室的经理告诉当地媒体，事件发生时他并不在，并对他的员工受到的虐 待表示震惊和愤怒。

【篇三】该不该隐瞒我的办公室恋情

Dear Liz: A co-worker and I have just started dating. I want to keep it secret (who knows how long it will last), but he feels we are better off being upfront. He's not my manager, but he does manage a team I'm friendly with and work with frequently. What's the best course of action? Hush-hush or here-we-are? - J.M., 25

Dear J.M.: Workplace romance is a very tricky issue. Thankfully we've evolved from the days when most office romances were between secretaries and bosses which was not exactly politically correct. Not to mention the old "she slept her way to the top" theory that didn't help women if they started to like a co-worker. Today, the line between work life and personal life which was once black and white has now become many shades of gray. In some cases, our life has become our work or some semblance of it. And how could it not be when we spend far more time at work building those relationships than anywhere else in our lives? It doesn't lend us much time to meet other people and build other communities.

Additionally, Millennials (now the largest generation in the workforce) are shifting the culture with their desire for more collaboration and common spaces; it's no wonder socializing at work is on the rise. A recent Vault.com study revealed that 57% of people have participated in some type of office relationship.

With that said, this is definitely not a *green light* for people to start dating on a whim. Office romances need to be handled very delicately by identifying what phase you are in and adhering to the following guidelines:

Phase 1: A Budding Romance

If you are in Phase 1-feeling the flutters but not sure if it will go the distance-be cautious:

Keep it quiet in the early stages: This is between you and your romantic interest only. Do not let other people connected to your work know about it even if they are good at "keeping secrets." It's not fair or smart to bring anyone else in, word travels fast and your reputation is on the line.

【篇四】译文

亲爱的丽兹：我近和同事约会了。我想要保守这个秘密（毕竟谁知道这段恋情能持续多久呢），但他觉得公开这段感情对我俩都好。他不是我的经理，但他的确管理着一个团队。我和他的团队关系很好，也经常一起工作。佳行动方案是什么呢？是保密还是公开？--25岁的J.M.

亲爱的J.M.：办公室恋情是件非常棘手的问题。还好，现在的办公室恋情已经不是美女秘书恋上老板了，那样的感情在政治上是不对的。更别提人们常说的老话了"她是因为和老板睡过才坐到今天的位置的"，所以如果是和同事约会，其他人就不会说闲话了。而今，以往黑白分明的私人生活和工作生活已经变成了灰色区域。在某些情况下，我们的生活变成了我们的工作或和工作有点类似。所以，当时间都花在工作上时，我们怎么可能还在其它地方和别人谈恋爱呢？我们根本就没有太多的时间和他人约会或建立自己的社交网啊。

此外，千禧一代（工作场所中人数多的一代）正在转变文化，他们希望有更多的合作和共享空间，因此，在工作中社交也就不足为奇了。Vault.com近的一项研究揭示：57%的人都有过办公室恋情。

话虽这么说，但对于一时兴起而约会的人来说这绝非"绿灯"。你需要非常细腻的判定自己所处的恋爱阶段，遵守以下的准则，这样才能妥善处理好办公室恋情。

第一阶段：恋情萌芽

如果你正处于第一阶段--感到飘飘然，但不确定这段感情会走多远：

早期阶段保密：这件事只能你和你的约会对象知道。不要让其他和你有工作关系的人知晓，即使这些人很会保密也不行。让其他人参与进来是不公平的，也是不明智的，因为谣言总是散播的很快，到时候你有可能名声不保。
