你的老板在會議中對你說了什么，導致你立即辭職？

Tony Williams
Not during a meeting.

不在會議期間。

I was called and notified our special needs child was dieing, and would be dead in less than an hour. I called the men together, let each one know what and where I was on each machine. I left as the company was in good hands.

我接到通知，我們特殊需求的孩子即將去世，不到一個小時就會離世。我把大家召集起來，讓每個人知道我在每臺機器上的位置和情況。我離開了，因為公司處于良好的管理之中。

On my way out the door my supervisor saw me, he mentioned it was not my break time and I better get back to work. I told him what was happening, he refused to give me leave, and told my back that when I returned I would written up or fired.

在我出門的路上，我的主管看到了我，他提到這不是我的休息時間，并讓我最好回去工作。我告訴了他發(fā)生了什么事，他拒絕給我假期，并告訴我，當我回來時，我會被記過或解雇。

I returned, nothing happened except he was being extra mean with assignments, especially those that could not be finished in 8 hours, but could not be left to the next day, or shift.

我回來了，除了他在任務上格外苛刻外，什么也沒發(fā)生，尤其是那些無法在8小時內完成，但又不能留到第二天或下一班的任務。

A Japanese company had been trying to hire me for years, actually decades. We came to an agreement of duties, insurance, perks and suchlike. I gave my two weeks notice. I was offered a double of salary, I thanked HR, and said no.

一家日本公司多年來，實際上是幾十年來，一直在試圖雇用我。我們就職責、保險、福利等達成了協(xié)議。我提交了兩周的通知。他們提供了雙倍薪水，我感謝了人力資源部門，并拒絕了。

A year at the new company, TMA, and our son had pneumonia and sepsis. I used my vacation and sick time as I sat by our son’s side in quarantine. I went back to work. My manager asked if our son was okay. No, he is not , I have no more personal time, I need to be here. He told me not to return until he was well.

在新公司TMA工作一年后，我們的兒子得了肺炎和敗血癥。我坐在隔離病房里兒子的身邊，用掉了我的假期和病假。我回去工作了。我的經理問我兒子是否還好。不，他不好，我沒有更多的個人時間了，我需要在這里。他告訴我，直到他康復之前不要回來。

A few more weeks pass, I go to work. He stops me before I sit at my desk. Is your son okay? Yes, he is at home. Is your son okay? Not yet, but we are close to him.

又過了幾周，我去上班。他在我坐到辦公桌前攔住了我。你的兒子還好嗎？是的，他在家。你的兒子還好嗎？還沒有，但我們離他很近了。

Go home, be with your son and do not return until your son is okay.

回家，和你的兒子在一起，直到他好起來再回來。

Two weeks later, son is fine, I am back at work. TMA paid all my expenses, and did not touch any of my personal or sick time.

兩周后，兒子沒事了，我回到了工作崗位。TMA支付了我所有的費用，并且沒有動用我的任何個人或病假時間。

I had worked in a high street clothing store for a few years since I was 17. One day, after a few years, the owners son pulled me into the office and told me I needed to shave my beard off and I couldn't wear shorts. I was flabbergasted. At the time we were encouraged to wear clothing that we sold and I was wearing Levi shorts. I also took great care to keep my facial hair neat and trimmed.

我從17歲起就在一家高街服裝店工作了幾年。幾年后的一天，店主的兒子把我叫到辦公室，告訴我必須剃掉胡子，而且不能穿短褲。我當時非常震驚。那時我們被鼓勵穿我們銷售的服裝，而我當時穿的是李維斯的短褲。我也非常注意保持我的胡須整潔和修剪整齊。

I countered that I'd worn shorts when it was hot since I started and that he had no problem with my female colleagues wearing skirts or shorts. He said that was different....

我反駁說，自從我開始工作以來，天氣熱的時候我一直穿短褲，而且他對我的女同事穿裙子或短褲也沒有意見。他說那不一樣……

I wrote and handed in my resignation that day, I wasn't going to be discriminated against for no reason. His auntie, a board member and the owners younger sister, then pulled me in to talk about it. She sided with me and said there's nothing wrong with my shorts and said I always kept my facial hair well. She said I could ignore him and that she wanted me to stay. I thanked her but declined, saying I no longer want to work here as I don't trust her nephew's management. She was upset but understood.

那天我寫好了辭職信并遞交了上去，我不會無緣無故地受到歧視。他的姑媽，一位董事會成員，也是老板的妹妹，隨后找我談話。她站在我這邊，說我的短褲沒有問題，還說我的胡須一直打理得很好。她說我可以忽略他，并希望我留下來。我感謝了她但拒絕了，表示我不再想在這里工作，因為我不信任她侄子的管理方式。她感到失望但表示理解。

I wouldn’t do this now, but when I was younger during a performance review I asked why I wasn’t getting recognition for providing good results. My manager told me point blank that hard work isn’t important (I had a dead end pink collar job) and had been repeating that it was only necessary to do the bare minimum. I looked around me and realized I was around a lot of smart women who were doing just what they had to do because they’d become so cynical and burned out. I handed in my resignation, and went on to have a way better career doing other things.

我現在不會這么做了，但在我年輕的時候，在一次績效評估中，我問為什么我沒有因為提供好的結果而得到認可。我的經理直截了當地告訴我，努力工作并不重要（我當時有一份沒有前途的粉領工作），并且一直重復說只需要做最低限度的工作就夠了。我環(huán)顧四周，意識到我周圍有很多聰明的女性，她們只是做她們必須做的事情，因為她們已經變得非常憤世嫉俗和精疲力盡。我遞交了辭職信，然后轉而從事其他事情，擁有了更好的職業(yè)生涯。

I’ve observed over the years that it’s better to move on if you are capable than to stay in a job where you’re unhappy and disgruntled. I’ve met so many people resentful, bitter and trapped when they actually could have moved on. Being so unhappy like that bleeds on into every aspect of your life! There are more opportunities than you think!

這些年來，我觀察到，如果你有能力，最好繼續(xù)前進，而不是留在一個讓你不快樂和不滿的工作中。我遇到過很多人，他們心懷怨恨、痛苦和被困住的感覺，而實際上他們本可以繼續(xù)前進。如此不快樂的狀態(tài)會滲透到你生活的方方面面！機會比你想象的要多！

re: this post is getting a lot of views. I realize that at the time I had more privileges than most - some people simply cannot change jobs. And years later, I am completely not bitter, but it is the result of me having an entrepreneurial mentality and being in environments where there are many opportunities. Not everyone has this chance! I have a lot of sympathy for people who do not have the chance to hop to better jobs, but it’s always so much better for the soul to just quit and do something else if you don’t feel you have an opportunity.

關于這個帖子獲得了很多瀏覽量。我意識到當時我比大多數人擁有更多的特權——有些人根本無法換工作。多年后，我完全沒有怨恨，但這是我擁有創(chuàng)業(yè)心態(tài)并處于充滿機會的環(huán)境中的結果。并不是每個人都有這樣的機會！我對那些沒有機會跳到更好工作的人深表同情，但如果你覺得自己沒有機會，辭職去做別的事情對心靈來說總是更好的選擇。

Will Warnuu
When I was in college, I was a live-on-site apartment manager for an apartment complex with 80 units. When I was hired, not one person lived in the buildings. I was to fill the apartments with renters, as well as work on renovations to the apartments. I did all of this and managed to rent every apartment within a couple months, as well as do the renovations. I thought nothing of it — I was young and inexperienced and thought this was normal.

當我在大學時，我是一個擁有80個單元的公寓小區(qū)的現場公寓經理。當我被雇用時，樓里沒有一個人住。我的任務是讓租客住滿公寓，并對公寓進行翻新。我完成了所有這些工作，并在幾個月內成功租出了所有公寓，同時也完成了翻新工作。我當時沒多想——我年輕且缺乏經驗，以為這是正常的。

The owner, Ed, and I got along well and treated each other with respect, even though we were very different people. The owner’s ultimate goal was to sell the apartment complex. Within a couple more months, Ed sold the apartment complex to a new owner, who I shall call Arsehole.

業(yè)主埃德和我相處得很好，彼此尊重，盡管我們是完全不同的人。業(yè)主的最終目標是出售公寓樓。在接下來的幾個月里，埃德將公寓樓賣給了一位新業(yè)主，我稱他為混蛋。

After the property officially changed ownership, Arsehole came to visit the property, and me. When we met, I reached out my hand to shake his, but he refused my hand, saying, “I don’t shake hands with the help.”

在房產正式變更所有權后，混蛋來參觀了房產，也來看了我。當我們見面時，我伸出手想和他握手，但他拒絕了我的手，說：“我不和下人握手?！?br />
I admit, I was shocked. Being young and inexperienced in such things, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind, “And I don’t work for assholes.” The look on his face was priceless.

我承認，我當時很震驚。由于年輕且對這種事情缺乏經驗，我脫口而出了腦海中第一個念頭：“而且我不為混蛋工作?！彼樕系谋砬檎媸菬o價之寶。

I turned and walked away to go to my car and go rent a moving truck. He (and his assistant) followed me as I walked, yelling that I couldn’t do this as they depended on me to run everything. I ignored them, got in my car, drove away, rented a truck and was gone from that job within a few hours.

我轉身走開，去我的車上，準備去租一輛搬家卡車。他（和他的助手）在我走的時候跟著我，大喊我不能這樣做，因為他們依賴我來管理一切。我無視了他們，上了車，開車離開，租了一輛卡車，并在幾個小時內離開了那份工作。

Later that week I called the former owner, Ed, and attempted an apology of sorts. Ed just laughed and agreed that the new owner was an asshole and that he didn’t blame me at all.

那一周晚些時候，我打電話給前主人埃德，試圖以某種方式道歉。埃德只是笑了笑，并同意新主人是個混蛋，他一點也不怪我。

Trevor Faith
I once started a job as a dispatcher where i iwould pack for transport and have some amount of stock control, every morning started with a groupd meeting with the boss giving a general run down of what was expected of the day.

我曾經做過一份調度員的工作，負責包裝運輸和一定程度的庫存管理。每天早上都會與老板開一個小組會議，老板會大致講解一下當天的期望工作內容。

Half way through through the second week he singled me out yelling at me that my area was a mess and stock was all over the place so they had no idea what was what. He walked the whole.comapny around my area pointing out everything that was wrong saying how bad of a worker i was. Problem with this was (apart from yelling at me) i was thrown into a total mess which the pervious person had created and was slowly working through it to clean it up and inventry the stock back how it should be and every other person in the place knew this.

在第二周的中途，他單獨挑出我，對我大喊大叫，說我的區(qū)域一團糟，貨物到處都是，所以他們不知道什么是什么。他帶著整個公司的人在我的區(qū)域走來走去，指出所有錯誤，說我是個多么糟糕的員工。問題在于（除了對我大喊大叫之外），我被扔進了一個由前任制造的爛攤子，我正在慢慢清理它，并將庫存恢復到應有的狀態(tài)，這個地方的每個人都知道這一點。

So once he had finished and said everyonw could get to work i said in front of everyone “I am not sure this is how you run this place normally as i have not been here long, but yelling and screaming at new employees who have done nothing but try to sort out the mess that the previous employee has left is not the right way to inspire loyalty and productivity or hi company morale. As such i will pack my tools and belongings and have a written resignation on your desk in 15 minutes. I will also be reporting this behaviour with the job agency i was recruited by”.

所以當他完成并說每個人都可以開始工作時，我當眾說道：“我不確定這是否是你們通常管理這個地方的方式，因為我剛來不久，但對新員工大喊大叫，而他們所做的只是試圖整理前員工留下的爛攤子，這并不是激發(fā)忠誠、生產力或公司士氣的好方法。因此，我將收拾我的工具和物品，并在15分鐘內將書面辭職信放在你的桌上。我還將向招聘我的職業(yè)中介報告這種行為?！?br />
Had another job 2 days later and been happy and productive there for 12 years!

兩天后又找到了一份工作，并且在那里快樂且高效地工作了12年！

Alan Pitcher
I didn’t resign but challenged my boss.

我沒有辭職，而是向我的老板發(fā)起了挑戰(zhàn)。

I had to do an emergency dash from UK to the Swiss border as my daughter was going to have an op there and was on her own. I was away from work for 4 days and the op went well, she was recovering well so I went back to work next day, lots of driving and two flights.

我不得不緊急從英國趕往瑞士邊境，因為我的女兒即將在那里獨自接受手術。我離開了工作四天，手術進行得很順利，她恢復得也很好，所以我第二天就回去工作了，期間有很多駕駛和兩次飛行。

On return my boss took me into his office and explained that were I to do that kind of thing again he would have to consider my position as he had a factory to run.

回來后，我的老板把我叫到他的辦公室，解釋說如果我再做那種事，他就不得不考慮我的職位，因為他有一個工廠要運營。

My response was “if you’re asking if I’d do it again then I’m telling you now I would” he didn’t respond as I’d have walked out there and then, especially as he’d taken 5 days off work coz his dog died. So his dog was more important than my daughter.

我的回答是‘如果你是在問我是否會再次這樣做，那么我現在告訴你，我會的?！麤]有回應，因為我會立刻離開那里，尤其是他因為他的狗去世而請了5天假。所以他的狗比我的女兒更重要。

Tony
I was getting my annual review. I had far exceeded any expectations that I had been given earlier in the year and my office had outproduced 95% of our group. I was top ten if not in the top five offices in our group. It wasn’t my district manager, doing my review. It was his boss, the VP. When they scheduled my review I assumed it was to discuss a promotion as I had met every goal for the past five years.

我正在接受年度評估。我遠遠超出了年初設定的任何預期，我的辦公室的產出超過了我們組95%的辦公室。如果不是前五名，我也是我們組前十名的辦公室之一。這次評估不是由我的區(qū)域經理進行的，而是由他的上司，副總裁進行的。當他們安排我的評估時，我以為是討論晉升，因為過去五年我達成了所有目標。

One of my goals was to convert a certain percentage of a type of account to another type of account. During the year they had removed about half of those accounts from my office to set up two other offices in nearby town. Of the remaining accounts I had exceed the percentage of conversions

我的目標之一是將一定比例的某類賬戶轉換為另一類賬戶。在這一年中，他們從我的辦公室移走了大約一半的賬戶，在附近的城鎮(zhèn)設立了另外兩個辦公室。在剩下的賬戶中，我超出了轉換的百分比。

So when I had my review, I was told that because I had not converted the percentage of the original number of accounts, I did not meet expectations. On the basis of that, my annual raise was cut in half. I would get a 2.5% annual increase.

所以當我進行評審時，我被告知由于我沒有將原始賬戶數量的百分比進行轉換，我沒有達到預期?；谶@一點，我的年度加薪被減半。我將獲得2.5%的年度加薪。

I argued that they had removed half of my accounts and so my results should have been based on the remaining accounts. But no, my boss’s boss said “you will just have to take one for the team, here” I didn’t say another word the rest of the review.

我爭辯說他們已經移除了我一半的賬戶，因此我的結果應該基于剩余的賬戶。但是，我的老板的老板說：“你只能為團隊犧牲一下，就這樣吧?！痹诮酉聛淼脑u審中，我沒有再說一句話。

The next day my boss asked of my review went as planned. I told him what had happened. He was just as surprised as I was. He went to bat for me and got me half of what my raise had been cut (to 3.5%). Needless to say I was still miffed.

第二天，我的老板問我評審是否按計劃進行。我告訴了他發(fā)生的事。他和我一樣感到驚訝。他為我爭取，讓我得到了被削減的加薪的一半（即3.5%）。不用說，我仍然感到不滿。

I started looking for another job and found one soon after, I put in my two week notice. On my second to the last day the President of the group called. He said he really didn’t want to lose me. He offered me a promotion (not the one I had wanted) along with a substantial pay increase (over 25%). I told him thanks, but no thanks. I asked why I had to fight tooth and nail for what was rightfully mine and now he was offering me a huge pay increase. He had no response.

我開始尋找另一份工作，并很快找到了一份，我提交了兩周的通知。在我倒數第二天的時候，團隊的負責人打來了電話。他說他真的不想失去我。他給了我一個晉升（不是我想要的那個）以及大幅度的加薪（超過25%）。我告訴他謝謝，但不用了。我問他為什么我必須拼命爭取本應屬于我的東西，而現在他卻給我大幅加薪。他無言以對。

I left that job, and then eventually opened my own business. That was 25 years ago. Screw the corporate world

我辭去了那份工作，最終自己創(chuàng)業(yè)了。那是25年前的事了。去他的企業(yè)世界。

I used to work for credit unx. I had been a loan officer at my previous credit unx job, but at my new job they didn’t have an opening so I was a teller. The existing manager was going to be retiring, and I was told when I was hired that I would be then eligible for the loan officer position because everybody would be moving up the chain.

我曾經在信用合作社工作。在我之前的信用合作社工作中，我是一名貸款官員，但在我的新工作中，他們沒有空缺，所以我成了一名出納員。當時的經理即將退休，我在被雇傭時被告知，那時我將有資格擔任貸款官員的職位，因為每個人都會在晉升鏈上移動。

When the manager retired they put an ad out for the loan officer and when I questioned my manager about it, I was told well you don’t have a degree and you cannot have a salaried position with the company unless you have a degre I reminded him of our conversation when I was hured and he looked at me and smiled and said oh yeah, we did say that, but we were desperate for a teller.

當經理退休時，他們發(fā)布了一則貸款官員的招聘廣告。當我向經理詢問此事時，他告訴我，我沒有學位，除非有學位，否則我不能在公司擔任有薪職位。我提醒他我們在我被雇傭時的談話，他看著我笑了笑說，哦，是的，我們確實說過，但當時我們急需一名出納員。

In the end, they ended up hiring someone who had a bachelor of arts degree in something ridiculous like French literature but because she had that piece of paper she was qualified where as I had 3+ years of experience in the position wasn’t.

最終，他們還是雇了一個擁有法國文學之類荒謬專業(yè)文學學士學位的人，就因為她有那張紙，她就合格了，而我在這個職位上有3年以上的經驗卻不行。

They then wanted me to train her to do the job that I have been doing while waiting for them to hire someone the meantime, the job that I wasn’t qualified for.

然后他們想讓我培訓她做我一直在做的工作，在等待他們雇人的這段時間里，這份工作我并不具備資格。

I gave them my two week notice. When I didn’t show up 2 weeks later they were in disbelief because they never thought I would actually leave.

我向他們提交了兩周的通知。兩周后，當我沒有出現時，他們感到難以置信，因為他們從未想過我真的會離開。

I took a job at a local, well known, busy sandwich shop one summer before college and after a year abroad, so I was 19. (This was before Subway took over the market). I rode a moped to work. The owner provided one shelf for employee personal belongings such as purses. He typically employed girls. He was an overbearing boss and thought girls were more likely to take mistreatment and not talk back. One day, in another snit, he decided my helmet was taking up too much room on that shelf, so he threw it in the trash can. Yup, he threw the helmet that goes on my head into the trash with food waste. This was two weeks into my working there! I went into the back room and saw it in the trash. I asked how it got there and he smirked and told me what he had done. I immediately quit, told him he had no right to do that with my personal property, called up my old boss for whom I had worked since 9th grade (age 14) and asked for my old job back and for more than the minimum wage the sandwich shop owner paid.

我在上大學前的一個夏天和出國一年后，在當地一家知名且繁忙的三明治店找到了一份工作，那時我19歲。（這是在賽百味占領市場之前）。我騎著一輛輕便摩托車去上班。老板為員工提供了一個架子，用來放個人物品，比如錢包。他通常雇傭女孩。他是個專橫的老板，認為女孩更可能忍受虐待而不會頂嘴。有一天，他又一次發(fā)脾氣，認為我的頭盔在架子上占用了太多空間，于是把它扔進了垃圾桶。沒錯，他把戴在我頭上的頭盔扔進了裝有食物殘渣的垃圾桶里。這是我工作兩周后發(fā)生的事！我走進后屋，看到它在垃圾桶里。我問它是怎么到那里的，他得意地笑著告訴我他做了什么。我立即辭職，告訴他他沒有權利那樣對待我的個人財產，打電話給我從九年級（14歲）就開始為之前工作的老板，要求回到原來的工作崗位，并且要求比三明治店老板支付的最低工資更高的薪水。

Had a new director come in to the company who was the daughter of a minister, and thought she could do anything she liked. The first thing she did was to replace the men in her team with lesbiens. Her stance was she promoted females in the work place. I was the last male in the team. Every Friday there would be a lunchtime meeting and drinks would be served. All of a sudden I was no longer invited, I worked in another location. She couldn’t get rid of me because I had worked for the company for over 20 years with a cast iron contract. I had been off sick with cancer for about a year and when I returned to work the first thing she said to me was, not welcome back, but at your age and your illness you should retire. Then we got taken over by another larger company. At a senior level meeting we were all asked to say a few words to the new CEO. My boss started say about promoting women in the work place and he interrupted her and said we promote the best person. He too was an ex-minister and didn’t like her or her father. She was moved into a cupboard a few weeks later and then resigned to work for another company. Myself went to HR to complain about her before she left, and they offered my full redundancy plus 2 years salary not to take harassement action against her. I was six months away from the legal retirement age and decided to take their 500,000 $ offer.

公司來了一位新主管，她是部長的女兒，認為可以為所欲為。她做的第一件事就是將團隊中的男性成員替換為女同性戀者。她的立場是在工作場所提拔女性。我是團隊中最后一位男性。每周五都會有午餐會議并提供飲品。突然之間，我不再被邀請，因為我在另一個地點工作。她無法解雇我，因為我已經在公司工作了20多年，擁有一份鐵飯碗合同。我曾因癌癥病假約一年，當我重返工作崗位時，她對我說的第一句話不是歡迎回來，而是以你的年齡和病情，你應該退休。后來我們被一家更大的公司收購。在一次高級別會議上，我們都被要求對新CEO說幾句話。我的老板開始談論在工作場所提拔女性，但他打斷了她，說我們提拔最優(yōu)秀的人。他也是一位前部長，不喜歡她或她的父親。幾周后，她被調到一個不起眼的職位，隨后辭職去了另一家公司。在她離職前，我向人力資源部投訴了她，他們提出給我全額遣散費外加兩年薪水，條件是我不對她采取騷擾訴訟。我距離法定退休年齡還有六個月，決定接受他們50萬美元的提議。

Davina Becker
I worked as a math tutor with underprivileged kids when I lived in DC. I did it as a third job to make extra money. I did it because I loved helping students learn and it paid okay.

我在華盛頓特區(qū)生活時，曾擔任數學家教，幫助貧困家庭的孩子。這是我為了賺取額外收入的第三份工作。我之所以做這份工作，是因為我喜歡幫助學生學習和它的報酬還不錯。

The first two years weren’t bad. In the third year, I was given a special needs child who could not retain anything she learned. I wasn’t allowed to help any of the other students. Week after week, I would need to review the same lesson with this kid. I hated it. It made me feel worthless as a tutor. It sucked all the job satisfaction out of the job. I started thinking about quitting.

前兩年并不糟糕。到了第三年，我被分配到一個有特殊需求的孩子，她無法記住任何學過的內容。我不被允許幫助其他學生。一周又一周，我需要和這個孩子復習同樣的課程。我討厭這樣。這讓我覺得自己作為導師毫無價值。它剝奪了這份工作的所有滿足感。我開始考慮辭職。

One Thursday evening, I have a call on my answering machine (this was 20 years ago). The lady in charge demanded that I show up on Saturday with fingerprints and an FBI background check or don’t come at all. I called her back and said, “I am sorry. I quit.” She was pissed.

一個星期四的晚上，我的答錄機上有一個電話（那是20年前的事了）。負責的女士要求我周六帶著指紋和FBI背景調查出現，否則就不要來了。我回電話給她說：“對不起，我辭職了?！彼浅Ｉ鷼?。

I understand why the fingerprinting and background check. I worked in finance and did it a couple years later for FINRA. What I didn’t like was that she gave me no time to get the documents. She hadn’t heard me when I wanted to change students and now she wanted me to jump through hoops for a job that I was miserable doing. Mentally, I was done. Her call was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

我理解為什么需要指紋識別和背景調查。我在金融行業(yè)工作過，幾年后還為FINRA做過這些。我不喜歡的是她沒有給我時間準備文件。當我想換學生時，她沒有聽我的，現在她又要我為一份讓我痛苦的工作跳來跳去。心理上，我已經受夠了。她的電話是壓垮駱駝的最后一根稻草。

Bill Johnston
It wasn’t actually a meeting, but during our lunch break.

這實際上不是一次會議，而是在我們的午休時間。

Working a graveyard shift for a mining company, I asked my boss at 4AM lunch break, how much longer was it likely to take to hire a permanent employee to take the job I’d been doing for about six weeks. I’d taken the “promotion” with the understanding that the hiring process had already started.

在礦業(yè)公司上夜班時，我在凌晨4點的午餐休息時間問我的老板，大概還需要多久才能雇到一個永久員工來接替我已經做了大約六周的工作。我接受這個“晉升”是基于招聘過程已經開始的了解。

He informed me that the plant management was happy with my work, and that the hiring process for a new employee had ceased. I closed my lunch box, told my boss that I had enjoyed working with him, and that I’d be back Friday morning to pick up my final paycheck.

他告訴我，工廠管理層對我的工作感到滿意，并且已經停止了新員工的招聘流程。我合上了我的午餐盒，告訴我的老板我很享受與他一起工作，并且我會在周五早上回來領取我的最后一份工資。

And walked out the door.

然后走出了門。

I did collect that final paycheck, and never looked back. lol

我確實領了最后一筆薪水，然后頭也不回地離開了。哈哈。

Robert Maynes
It was 1984. My children were 4 and 2. I was working for an OEM supplier in Rochester, NY, and was just recruited from my sales position to be National Sales Manager for a German/American partnership that was just getting going in the US (they were well established for decades in Germany). I gave my two weeks notice to my employer, and on the appointed day, got up way early and drove from the Southern Tier of NY, and showed up for work as scheduled in Zelionople, PA.

那是1984年。我的孩子們分別是4歲和2歲。我在紐約州羅切斯特市的一家OEM供應商工作，剛剛從銷售職位被招募為一家德美合資企業(yè)的全國銷售經理，這家企業(yè)剛剛在美國起步（他們在德國已經建立了數十年）。我向雇主提交了兩周的通知，并在指定的那天早早起床，從紐約州的南部地區(qū)開車前往賓夕法尼亞州的澤利諾普爾，按時報到上班。

Walk into my “office” and there’s some guy sitting at my desk. I introduce myself, and ask him who he is. He says he’s the new National Sales Manager, and had arrived about 20 minutes prior to me. Told him that I, too, was hired to be the NSM. So, I walk down to the office of the guy who interviewed and hired me, and told him “There’s some guy in my office who says he’s me!” He replies that they had made the other guy the offer before interviewing me, but never heard back, so assumed he’d turned it down. “Don’t worry,” he said, “You have more experience and way more industry contacts. We’ll let you fight it out for a couple months and see who performs better.” Since there was an industry trade show scheduled for a few weeks hence, I figured that would be the test.

走進我的“辦公室”，發(fā)現有個人坐在我的辦公桌前。我做了自我介紹，并詢問他是誰。他說他是新任的全國銷售經理，比我早到大約20分鐘。我告訴他，我也是被聘為全國銷售經理的。于是，我走到面試并聘用我的人的辦公室，告訴他：“我的辦公室里有個家伙說他是我的替身！”他回答說，他們在面試我之前已經向那個人發(fā)出了錄用通知，但一直沒有收到回復，所以以為他拒絕了?！皠e擔心，”他說，“你經驗更豐富，行業(yè)人脈也更廣。我們會讓你們競爭幾個月，看看誰的表現更好?！奔热粠字芎笥幸粋€行業(yè)貿易展，我覺得那將是一個考驗。

My old territory was Northeast US, and the show was in Atlantic City, I knew all my former customers would be at the show. So, the show starts, and everybody and their brother stops into our booth, see me and ask what’s going on. Second question was: what’s up with this partnership? Not sure I want to buy from a company that is half owned by my competitor. Fair enough question, and I answered honestly, that the new company was a 50/50 partnership.

我原來的地盤是美國東北部，演出在大西洋城，我知道我所有的老客戶都會來看演出。所以，演出開始了，每個人都來到我們的展位，看到我并問發(fā)生了什么。第二個問題是：這次合作是怎么回事？我不確定是否想從一家由我的競爭對手擁有50%股份的公司購買產品。這是一個合理的問題，我誠實地回答，新公司是一家50/50的合資企業(yè)。

We fly back (on the American partner’s company Lear jet) to Zeli on Sunday night and on Monday morning the scumbag who hired two people for the same job calls a sales meeting. First item of business discussed is what we’re going to say to people who ask about the uncomfortable business relationship between the two companies. We’re told to tell people that Owner X is not a partner, he’s just a customer.

我們周日晚上乘坐（美國合作伙伴公司的里爾噴氣機）飛回澤利，周一早上那個雇傭了兩個人做同一份工作的混蛋召開了一次銷售會議。討論的第一項業(yè)務是，當有人問起兩家公司之間不愉快的業(yè)務關系時，我們應該怎么說。我們被告知要告訴人們，老板X不是合作伙伴，他只是個客戶。

I was a manager at a health insurance company. I was. In the a IT department. I was working closely with the manager im the claims department. The two of us came up with an IT solution which would eliminate 25% of the costs of claims processing. We researched it thoroughly and created spreadsheets, implementation plans, power points, flow charts—the works.

我曾在一家健康保險公司擔任經理，在IT部門工作。我與理賠部門的經理密切合作。我們兩人共同提出了一個IT解決方案，該方案將消除25%的理賠處理成本。我們對此進行了深入研究，并創(chuàng)建了電子表格、實施計劃、演示文稿、流程圖等所有相關材料。

We scheduled a presentation for senior management. About 30 minutes later my boss a retired marine lt. colonel stormed into my office. He began shouting at me that I didnt have the right to talk to anyone outside of the IT department.

我們?yōu)楦呒壒芾韺影才帕艘粓鲅菔?。大約30分鐘后，我的老板，一位退役的海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊中校，沖進了我的辦公室。他開始對我大喊大叫，說我沒有權利與IT部門以外的任何人交談。

I looked at him and said, “Really?” He shouted that I had no loyalty. I stated, “Mail me my last check” and walked out. He shouted that I couldn’t leave like that. I gave him the one finger salute.

我看著他，說：“真的嗎？”他大喊說我沒有忠誠。我說：“把我的最后一張支票寄給我。”然后走了出去。他大喊說我不能那樣離開。我給了他一個豎中指的手勢。

Later, HR phoned me and said that I had been transferred to the claims department and givdn a 10% salary increase. I simply said, “No thank you.” And hung up.

后來，人力資源部打電話給我，說我已經被調到理賠部門，并且獲得了10%的加薪。我只是簡單地說了一句“不，謝謝?！比缓髵鞌嗔穗娫?。

I had a job offer two days later for 20% more.

兩天后我得到了一份薪水高出20%的工作機會。

Not a resignation but not the reaction my manager had expected.

不是辭職，但也不是我的經理所期望的反應。

I’d gone thru my performance review - top grade in every category and then got told what my raise was. I remember looking at him and saying “that’s an insult” and getting up and walking out of his office door. As I was leaving I did hear him say “but that was approved by X” (his manager in corporate).

我已經完成了我的績效評估——每個類別都是最高分，然后被告知我的加薪數額。我記得當時看著他說“這是一種侮辱”，然后起身走出了他的辦公室。當我離開時，我確實聽到他說“但這是由X批準的”（他在公司里的經理）。

Went back to my desk and started back on the analysis I had been working on before my review.

回到我的辦公桌，繼續(xù)我之前在審查前一直在進行的分析工作。

About ten minutes later my phone rang - it was “X” - seems my manager had called his manager to tell him about my reaction. Long story but I ended up with a promotion and a significant raise a couple of weeks later. But that really wasn’t the end of it - I got approached for another job shortly thereafter and my manager was more than slightly floored when I told him what my new base salary was.

大約十分鐘后，我的電話響了——是“X”——似乎我的經理已經打電話給他的經理，告訴了他我的反應。長話短說，但幾周后我最終得到了晉升和大幅加薪。但這并不是事情的結束——不久之后，我又被另一份工作找上門，當我告訴我的經理我的新基本工資時，他感到非常震驚。
