為了完成工作，我應(yīng)該取消我的家庭假期嗎?

I have a new boss who will not yield an inch. It is “my way or the highway” with her. She’s a classic you know what! (And I’m a woman, so I can say that.) I think she has a problem with other women. How do you suggest dealing with a boss like that?

我有一個(gè)寸步不讓的新老板。對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)，“要么干要么滾蛋”。她是個(gè)典型的你知道嗎!(我是個(gè)女人，所以我可以這么說(shuō)。)我認(rèn)為她和其他女性相處方式有問(wèn)題。你如何建議和這樣的老板打交道?

I’m not sure what you mean. She’s a classic what? I think we all know what you are getting at, but does being a woman give you a free pass to make a disrespectful reference that — if said by a man — would likely get him fired or, at the very least, ostracized? However, to your question, the boss is in charge, and most aren’t winning any boss-of-the-year contests. So, you’ve got two choices. Either have a conversation with your boss privately and see if there is a way to change the dynamic, or if not, either deal with it or leave. But the best remedy for bad boss behavior (three Bs that aren’t offensive) is to refuse to accept it.

我不知道你的意思。她是個(gè)典型指的是什么?我想我們都知道你在說(shuō)什么，但作為一個(gè)女人，你可以不加限制地做一些無(wú)禮的評(píng)論嗎?——如果一個(gè)男人這么說(shuō)——可能會(huì)立馬讓他走人，或者至少會(huì)被排斥?不過(guò)，就你的問(wèn)題而言，老板是負(fù)責(zé)人，大多數(shù)人都不會(huì)獲封年度最佳老板獎(jiǎng)。所以，你有兩個(gè)選擇。要么私下和你的老板談一談，看看有沒(méi)有辦法改變現(xiàn)狀或處理好，要么離開(kāi)。但是，對(duì)付壞老板行為的最好辦法是拒絕接受。

I have a two-week vacation planned for the end of August with family and friends. I just got a new boss who is demanding a lot of work that needs to be done by the end of the month. It is more than I can accomplish if I take the time off. What should I do?

我計(jì)劃在八月底和家人和朋友一起度兩周假。我剛找到一個(gè)新老板，他要求在月底前完成很多工作。如果我休假的話(huà)，我做不到。我該怎么辦?

Summertime, and the livin’ is supposed to be easy — because life is hard enough, and we need time to recharge. I have no idea what is driving the hard charge during prime vacation months. It could be an over-eager new boss, or it could be any number of legitimate critical issues that need to be resolved. Those emergencies have a way of rearing their ugly heads at the most inconvenient times. Unless we know what is behind the August surge, you won’t know what call to make — so ask. Explain that this is a big family trip that has been on the books for some time and that the only way for you to deliver is if you cancel it or at least cut it in half. Ask if it’s critical enough that they want you to do that. (If so, and there are costs involved, the company should reimburse you.) If you get the conversation started and demonstrate that you’re a professional and that you will be flexible in accommodating the business needs as required, you stand a good chance of a favorable outcome.

夏天，生活應(yīng)該很簡(jiǎn)單——因?yàn)樯钜呀?jīng)夠苦了，我們需要時(shí)間來(lái)充電。我不知道在黃金假期的幾個(gè)月里，是什么造成了這項(xiàng)艱巨的任務(wù)。這可能是一個(gè)過(guò)分著急的新老板，也可能是確實(shí)有關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題需要解決。這些緊急情況在最不方便的時(shí)候總會(huì)露出丑陋的一面。除非我們知道這些任務(wù)背后的原因，否則你不會(huì)知道該打什么電話(huà)——所以問(wèn)問(wèn)看。跟老板解釋清楚，這是一次計(jì)劃已久的大型家庭旅行，你唯一能做的就是取消旅行，或者至少把旅行減半。詢(xún)問(wèn)他們是否需要你這么做。(如果是這樣，而且涉及到成本，公司應(yīng)該賠償你。)如果你能開(kāi)始談話(huà)，并表現(xiàn)出你是一位專(zhuān)業(yè)人士，并且你會(huì)靈活地適應(yīng)業(yè)務(wù)需求，那么你很有可能得到一個(gè)好的結(jié)果。
