Do today’s kids make terrible entry-level workers? 【T1】
That’s a question much on employers’ minds as graduation season kicks off and young adults begin their first full-time jobs.
We’ve all heard the stories: assistants who won’t " assist," new workers who can’t set an alarm, employees who can’t grasp institutional hierarchies.
Bosses who toiled in the pre-Self Esteem Era salt mines have little patience for these upstarts. 【T2】
A popular advice columnist had some choice words last week for a young employee who dismissively waved her sandwich at a superior requesting back-up during a critical meeting.
The young woman explained that she was on her lunch break. Moreover, she noted, being "errand girl" wasn’t in her job description.
It’s easy to laugh off these anecdotes, but there are some complex reasons for the lack of familiarity with work norms. 【T3】
For one thing, many twenty-something adults have never held a menial summer job, once considered training wheels for adult life in the American middle class.
It was once common to see teenagers mowing lawns, waiting tables, digging ditches, and bagging groceries for modest wages in the long summer months. 【T4】
Summer employment was a social equalizer, allowing both rich and financially strapped teenagers to gain a foothold on adulthood, learning the virtues of hard work, respect and teamwork in a relatively low-stakes atmosphere.
But youth employment has declined precipitously over the years and young people are losing a chance to develop these important life skills in the process. 【T5】
Teenagers and twenty-somethings are the least skilled members of the work force, so it’s not surprising that they would be edged out in a recession by more reliable full-time workers.
【T2】
选项
答案
上周,一名很受欢迎的忠告专栏作家针对一名年轻雇员的经历发表了一些精辟的见解,后者曾在一次至关重要的会议上向一名要求她帮忙的上司轻蔑地挥舞了手中的三明治。
解析
该句的理解重点有二。一是能理解“choice words”,意为“一针见血的话,精辟的见解”。二是能看出“requesting back-up during a critical meeting”是名词“superior”的后置定语。
