地道美語聽力播客909：晉升道路上的重重阻礙

　 Gloria: Did you hear that Manuel is quitting? He took a job with another company.

　　格洛里亞：聽說了嗎，曼紐爾要辭職了?他在另一家公司找到了工作。

　　Sam: I’m not surprised. He came up against the glass ceiling and he decided to jump ship.

　　山姆：我一點也不驚訝，他遭遇晉升阻礙，決定跳槽。

　　Gloria: Really? I didn’t know he was bucking for promotion.

　　格洛里亞：真的嗎?我不知道他一直努力想升職。

　　Sam: He’s been trying to become a manager for three years, but other people have been promoted over him or they’ve hired from outside the company.

　　山姆：三年來，他一直都想當(dāng)經(jīng)理。可是別人升職升的都比他高了，還有人被別的公司挖走了。

　　Gloria: I didn’t know that. I was aware of the wage disparities within the company and the gender pay gap within each department, but this is news to me.

　　格洛里亞：這我就不知道了。我知道公司內(nèi)部工資有差距，部門之間的性別收入也有差距，可這我倒是第一次聽說。

　　Sam: Haven’t you noticed that people who take extended leave to have children or try for some type of work- life balance are passed over for plum assignments, raises, and promotions? There are definite limits to advancement.

　　山姆：你沒發(fā)現(xiàn)只要有人申請延長休假，不管是為了生孩子還是為了平衡工作和生活，他們以后就和美差，加薪晉升無緣了嗎?晉升之路絕對是阻礙重重。

　　Gloria: I thought it was just favoritism on the part of the bosses. Their friends got promoted and other people didn’t.

　　格洛里亞：我以為那只是一些老板們徇私呢。他們的朋友升職了，別人卻沒有。

　　Sam: That’s certainly true, but that’s only part of the story.

　　山姆：確實是這樣，但那不是事情的全部。

　　Gloria: Why are we still working for a company with such unfair policies?

　　格洛里亞：為什么我們還在為一家如此不公正的公司工作?

　　Sam: Speak for yourself. I’m giving notice today.

　　山姆：為你自己的利益說話。我今天就要發(fā)通知。
