聽力每日練習(xí) listen 3876 Are?you?working?overtime?again
out of you!
2-- I know, but I don't have a choice, my boss has complete control over our work schedules.I haven't made it out of the office before 9:00 PM a single day this week.
1-- Well,I hope they're paying you the big bucks for all this work...
2-- No, not exactly, I'm working for minimum wage.And they don't give extra pay for overtime. Overtime is our own time.
1-- What?! Isn't there a law against that, I think there is some legislation that requires emplyers to give their employees a fair rate of wages. You should know your rights! If you are putting in so many hours, they should give you some kind of compensation.
2-- They do give bonuses at the end of the year for the employees with highest productivity numbers, but frankly, it's not much of an incentive. They
give us a bonus of ten dollars.
1-- That's just wrong! why don't you just quit?
2-- I would, but I'm afraid I would't be able to find another job. I don't have very many job maketable skills, there aren't so many jobs that I'm qualified for.
1-- it sounds like any job will be better than the one you have now!

譯文：
1--你又加班了?在過去的兩周里,你們每天加班一點兒也沒休息過.你們公司想累死你們啊!
2--我知道,可是我沒選擇.我的老板完全控制著我們的工作安排.我這周就沒有一天不是晚上9點以后下班的.
1--咳,你干了那么多工作,我希望他們會付給你一大筆勞務(wù)費...
2--沒有,你說的一點也不對...我的工資最低.而且他們也不給加班費,加班用的是我們自己的時間.
1--什么?!這不違法?我記得有些立法就要求雇主給他們的員工相當(dāng)?shù)墓べY.你應(yīng)該了解自己的權(quán)利!如果你加了那么長時間的班,他們應(yīng)該給你某種補償.
2--年底他們確實給那些生產(chǎn)效率最高的員工發(fā)獎金...不過說實話,那根本算不上什么獎勵.他們給我們的獎金只有10美元.
1--這種做法肯定不對!那你為什么不辭職?
2--我想辭職,可是我也怕也許找不到第二份工作.我沒有太多適合推銷的工作技能...也沒有太多適合我干的工作.
1--聽起來好像無論哪份工作都要比你現(xiàn)在的這個工作好多了.
