19. The Eager Beaver

Bill was a new employee at the insurance office, but in a short time all his fellow workers began to complain about him.

"He's an eager beaver." protested one worker, "He does so much work that it makes all of us look bad."

"What's he trying to do?" wailed another employee, "Get a promotion?"

Three weeks later Bill was called into the office of the personnel manager.

"Bill, you're a good worker, but I have had news for you."

announced the manager, "We'll have to lay you off."

"Why? I don't understand. I do more work than all the staff put together."

"That's the trouble."

"The staff has nothing to worry about. I'm not going to take away their jobs."

"I'm not worried about their jobs. I'm worried about mine."

工作狂

比尔是一家保险公司的新雇员，但是很短一段时间后，他的同事们都开始抱怨他。

“他是一个工作狂。”一位职员抗议道，“他做了太多的事情，使得我们其他所有人都显得工作不够多。”

“他到底想干什么？”另一个雇员附和道，“想升职吗？”

三周之后，比尔被人事经理叫到办公室。

“比尔，你是一名好员工。但是，我有一个坏消息要告诉你，”经理对他说，“我们必须解雇你。”

“为什么？我不明白，我做的工作比其他所有员工加起来做的都多。”

“这正是问题所在。”

“同事们不用担忧，我不会抢走他们的工作。”

“我不担心你抢走他们的工作，我担心你抢走我的饭碗。” N391+Wd6YLoAq25MPVYrGUcwtfBySKfYs/ybEWWIl3845GHY5lZd/t4qcfdbYeSV
