Open your mind 打开你的心灵
Bosses should consider requests for flexible working from employees with children under six. So embrace the benefits: “Twice as much experience, skills, brainpower and energy.” Savage says
老板应该考虑的要求灵活的工作员工,6岁以下儿童。所以拥抱的好处:―两倍经验、技能、智力和精力。‖野蛮人说 Plan for disaster 灾难计划
Always discuss the worst-case scenarios. When Margaret Mills, a teacher, lost her job-share partner because of a family illness, a return to full-time work seemed inevitable. ‘We had been over-optimistic. I did manage to find someone else who fitted in with me, but I was very lucky.’
总是讨论这个最坏的情况。玛格丽特?米尔斯老师时,失去了她的家庭分工合作伙伴因为疾病,恢复全职工作似乎是不可避免的。―我们已经过于乐观。我设法找别人在跟我装,但我很幸运 Get organised得到组织
Plan the system for handing work over carefully and play to each other’s different strengths. Delegate the workload according to each other’s particular skills and qualities.
仔细计划上交工作制度,发挥彼此的不同优势。代表工作负载根据彼此的特殊的技能和素质。 Set your limits设置限制
Managers should clarify what they expect in terms of hours, availability and results, and employees should manage their employer’s expectations. Sue Osborn, a job-sharer for 21 years, says, ‘We’re often asked to do five-day weeks. Eventually you just have to say no.’ 经理应该明确他们所期望的小时,可用性和结果,雇员应该管理他们的雇主的期望。苏奥斯本,21年的分工,说,―经常有人问我们做五天的星期。最终,你只要说―不‖。 Put pen to paper开始写；落笔
Agree in writing arrangements for holidays, parental leave, retirement, etc. Everyone should know where they stand from the beginning 书面同意安排假期,产假,退休,等等。每个人都应该从一开始就知道他们的立场
Don’t feel guilty不要感到内疚
Do not work until 1 am at home to make up for not being in the office everyday.
在家不工作到1点来弥补不是每天都在办公室。 Two become one天生一对
Clients may not like having to deal with two people so work closely together. As Savage says: ‘A job-share should be like a marriage---one voice, one unit.’
客户可能不喜欢必须处理两人紧密合作。萨维奇说:―一个分工应该像婚姻————声音,一个单位。

company car公司汽车
Speaker 1 It‘s great because usually it means my wife can use the one at home and we even take mine away at weekends. I work for quite a relaxed company and they don‘t seem to mind how I use it for leisure.
通常很好,因为这意味着我的妻子可以使用一个在家里,我们甚至在周末把我带走。我很轻松的公司工作,他们似乎并不在意我如何用它来休闲
flexible working hours 机动工时
Speaker 2 I thought it wouldn‘t change the way I worked after the first six months, but as they got older it actually became more complicated with getting them to school or if they wanted to do activities in the afternoon. But my boss has been really good about it and some days I can do a half day if I want and then I might work later on other days – or I take work home, which I don‘t like doing, but it‘s the only way…
我认为这不会改变我的方式在前六个月之后,但当他们长大一些实际上变得更加复杂和让他们学校或如果他们想下午做活动。但是我的老板很好,有些日子我可以做一半的一天如果我想,然后我可能会工作在其他天——或者我把工作带回家,我不喜欢做的事情,但这是唯一的办法…
parental leave亲职假
Speaker 3 It‘s actually the law now so they had to let me have it. It was only two weeks but at least I had time to help my wife out. Mind you, after all the late nights and crying I was really happy to get back to work for a while and have a rest!
实际上现在的法律,所以他们必须让我拥有它。只有两周,但至少我有时间帮助我的妻子。提醒你一下,毕竟很晚,哭我真的很高兴地回去工作一段时间,休息一下!
an impressive job title一个令人印象深刻的工作头衔
I‘ve just been promoted from Assistant IT Technician to Chief Operational Network Administrator (营运网络主管）. It means I get a bit of a pay rise and new business cards with my name on. I‘m not sure if I get my own office though
我刚从助理,技术员被提升为首席运营网络管理员(营运网络主管)。这意味着我的加薪和新名片有我的名字。我不确定我自己的办公室
a pension养老金
The problem for me is that I won‘t have enough to live on when I‘m 60 and I can‘t afford a private plan. So I‘ll probably try and keep working for a few more years, and anyway, I heard the government is planning to rise the age of retirement.
对于我的问题是,我没有足够的生活当我60岁,我买不起私人计划。所以我可能会尝试继续工作几年,不管怎么说,我听说政府计划提高退休年龄。
