身邊有很多人說,大學剛畢業(yè)的時候,工作熱情極高,從來都是早到晚走,有活兒也是搶著干??晒ぷ鲙啄旰螅闆r就不是這樣了。項目策劃會基本不發(fā)言了,年輕同事在討論什么也跟不上了。這就是職場的“掏空族(over-drained clan)”。
Over-drained clan refers to employees who find themselves running out of new ideas as well as enthusiasm after spending all their time and energy on day-to-day work. They are usually regarded as spiritual victims of fast-paced jobs which deprive them of learning time.
“掏空族”指在工作中持續(xù)投入大量時間和精力后,又無暇進行學習和“充電”,從而無法在職場再產(chǎn)生新的想法或工作熱情的一群人。他們通常被視為當下快節(jié)奏職場中的精神犧牲品。
Working pressure and heated competition are the major factors behind the phenomenon. People have to put a lot of effort into their work to get their job secured, using up stock of knowledge they’ve got from previous education and losing enthusiasm for work. Keeping a good work-life balance may help them live a better life, and a lifelong learning plan will surely enable them to walk away from the clan.
工作壓力和激烈的競爭是導致這一現(xiàn)象的主要因素。為了保住工作,人們把大量的精力都投入到工作當中, 把上學時學到的知識和技能都用盡了,也沒了工作熱情。保持好工作和生活的平衡能夠使“掏空族”的生活更上一層樓,而如果有終身學習的規(guī)劃,他們就一定能夠擺脫被“掏空”的命運。
