A phrase that first became fashionable a decade ago is everywhere. "Bring your whole self" is one of four values that British Land, a property developer, trumpets on its website. Quartz, a publisher, ran a workshop last year called "How to navigate the wholeself workplace". "Your whole self is welcome here," pledges ING, a bank, to prospective employees.
Behind this thought lies a good intention—or rather lots of good intentions. The notion of the whole self variously captures the idea that people are more engaged in work if they believe in a firm’s purpose; that teams are more effective if colleagues understand each other; that people with different identities should feel comfortable in their own skins; that firms should care about and respond to issues that affect their staff’s well-being, from mental health to child care; and that leaders need to show some of their personal side to be connected with their staff.
However, any idea that covers so much ground is bound to have
holes
in it, and this one would make a colander blush.
Most obviously, no one should actually bring their whole selves to work. People are a melange of traits, some good and some bad. Many of them should be kept well away from the workplace. Your professional self displays commitment to the job and eats lunch at a desk. Your whole self is planning the next holiday and binges ice cream on the sofa. Pretending to be someone you are not is not a problem; it’s essential.
For the same reasons, your employer may say it wants you to bring your whole self to work but doesn’t really mean it. A company is a hierarchy, in which even the most understanding bosses expect people to follow orders rather than their hearts. Say something that causes your firm embarrassment, and you will end up being disowned rather than lauded for authenticity.
Any job that involves a uniform is by definition asking employees to subsume their personalities, not express them. When times are tough or performance is shoddy, an employee is an individual second and a line item in the budget first. If the circumstances require it, he will be asked to leave and take his whole self with him.
As a result, the bringing of whole selves is carefully circumscribed. One of the attractions of the workplace is that it is a place where there is a shared endeavour. That endeavour is called "work". You need to be capable of empathy, but you don’t need to constantly emote. You have to turn up, try hard and play your part. You have to bring your role self.
What does the author argue in the last paragraph?
选项
A、Professional self is expected in the workplace.
B、A company needs joint efforts from all its staff.
C、Whole self is likely to be replaced by role self.
D、Empathy is badly needed in the workplace.
答案
A
解析
观点题。根据题干可定位至第七段。第七段是文章的收尾,肯定是要对全文做总结,第一句提到,全身心投入的做法是受到严格限制的。第二、三句提到,工作需要的是众人的合力,不是一个人的独角戏。第四句进一步点明,在这个过程中,在团队合作中,同理心很重要,情绪化是不受欢迎的。第五、六句指出作者的态度,你需要做的是扮演好自己的那一部分“角色”。由此也得出了本段的主旨,作者就是想表达每个人都应该呈现出自己职业的那一部分自己。故A项正确。B项属于以偏概全,是最后一段的局部内容,不是主要观点,故排除。C项属于无中生有,故排除。D项属于过度推理,故排除。故本题答案为A。
