分享一篇文章： Steven writes: Please help me to understand this sentence – “So before you hand in your resignation, first identify opportunities for change or improvement, because the devil you know is sometimes better than the devil you don’t!” – and, in particular, “the devil you know is sometimes better than the devil you don’t!” My comments: If this quote is from your current employer, Steven, be happy. Because, finally, he’s telling you the truth and offering you some sound advice! What these quoted words mean to convey is this: Don’t leave your current job before you are sure to have a better one with a better employer. If you’re leaving your current post just presuming you’d get a better one someplace else, think twice because your next job may turn out to be worse. In other words, your next employer may well turn out to be worse a devil than this one (whom you’re working for now). So therefore make sure you know what you’re doing. Don’t just leave for the sake of leaving because your desire for change (experiment or adventure) may cause regret in future. There’s a lot of truth in there. You should be thankful of your boss, again supposing he were the one telling you this, for saying that. Leave him (if and when you identify a better situation) by all means and just the same but still be thankful of him for saying this to you. You see, bosses usually don’t give subordinates sound advice like this, even if the said subordinates have begun second-guessing the boss and dreaming about greener pastures elsewhere. |
