Middle managers 中层管理者 In praise of David Brent 赞扬大卫?布兰特 Middle managers are not as useless as people think 中层管理者并不像人们认为的那样没有用处 IN UNDERCOVER BOSS, a British television programme, company chiefs disguisethemselves and work on the shop floor of their own companies. 英国有一档电视节目叫卧底老板，公司老板乔装打扮后，下到自己公司一线与员工一起工作。 The climax comes when the boss reveals his true identity to his co-workers. 当老板向一起工作的员工揭开自己的真实身份时，节目达到了高潮。 Much to his surprise, the shop-floor grunts often have no clue who he is. 让老板感到吃惊的是，这些基层员工常常不知道自己的老板是谁。 The cult of the chief executive has reached absurd proportions. 对于首席执行官的狂热已经达到了一种荒谬的地步， Business magazines splash their smugfaces on glossy covers, and give them all the credit for achievements to which thousands ofothers have contributed. 商业期刊的封面上尽是他们的大幅照片，个个自命不凡。数千员工辛苦劳动取得的功劳全部记在他们的头上。 |
