办公室里的鬼？听起来有点吓人。不过这些“鬼”真实地生活在我们身边，他们就是办公室里“在其位不谋其政”的人，经常“神龙见首不见尾”，英文表达是office ghost。 Office ghost refers to an employee who maintains a position at a company despite the fact that all of his job duties have been reassigned to other employees. This could be by the ghost's own design or due to restructuring within the department. “办公室里的鬼”指的是在公司保有职位，但是该职位的所有职责都由其他员工代行的人。这可能是“鬼”自己的有意安排或是部门内重组的结果。 Office ghosts are particularly effective when they have a big title that comes with an assistant, and a boss in another location because no one is really sure what they do all day, but they still have the ability to step up and take credit once a project is completed. “办公室里的鬼”通常是那些有助理的大老板，或是在其他地方办公的主管，没有人确切知道他们一天到晚都在做什么，然而在项目完成时他们还能站出来邀功。 Example: Employee: I was looking for Michael. Have you seen him? Assistant: I think he's in his office but I'm not sure since he always has the door closed. Let me check. Assistant: No, he's not in there. He might be in a meeting. |
