A new malady is running rampantly in corporate America: management phobia. Many people don’t want to be manager, and many people who are managers are itching to jump off the management track—or have already. "I hated all the meetings," says a 10-year award-winning manager, "And I found the more you did for people who worked for you, the more they expected. I was a counselor, motivator, financial adviser and psychologist. "
With technology changing in a wink, we can never slack off these days if we’re on the technical side. It’s a rare person who can manage to keep up on the technical side and handle a management job, too. In addition, with Scott Adams’ popular cartoon character as well as many television situation comedies routinely portraying managers as morons or enemies, they just don’t get much respect anymore.
Supervising others was always a tough task, but in the past that stress was offset by hopes for career mobility and financial rewards. Along with a sizable pay raise, people chosen as managers would begin a nearly automatic climb up the career ladder to lucrative executive
perks
: stock options, company cars, club memberships, plus the key to executive washroom. But in today’s global, more competitive arena, a manager sits on an insecure perch. Restructuring has eliminated layer after layer of management as companies came to view their organizations as collections of competencies rather than hierarchies. There are far fewer rungs on the corporate ladder for managers to climb. In addition, managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer slim financial paybacks and perks.
In an age of entrepreneurship, when the most praised people in business are those launching something new, management seems like an invisible, thankless role. Employers are looking for people who can do things, not for people who make other people do things. Management layoffs have done much to erode interest in managerial jobs.
With more people wary of joining management, are corporations being hurt or worrying about developing future leaders? Not many are. While employers have dismissed a lot of managers, they believe a surplus lingers on at many companies. Another reason companies aren’t short of managers, contends Robert Kelley, a Carnegie Mellon University business professor, "is that so many workers today are self-managed, either individually or via teams, you don’t need a manager. "
Which one of the following statements applies to today’s managers?
选项
A、Their stress can be reduced by the financial and emotional rewards.
B、They are beginning to neglect their development on the technical side.
C、They feel more insecure in their positions because of the reduction in company hierarchies.
D、They are not respected any more by the media despite their hard efforts.
答案
C
解析
下列哪个表述符合当今经理的状况?[A]经理们的压力可以通过经济上的奖励和情感上的关怀得以减轻。[B]经理们开始忽视自己在技术上的提高。[C]由于公司管理职位的裁减,经理们在自己的职位上更缺乏安全感。[D]尽管经理们努力工作,但是他们已经不再受媒体的尊重了。文章第三段指出,在今天全球竞争加剧的环境中,经理的位子不容易坐得稳,公司内部的重组逐渐打破了层层管理,公司里可供经理晋升的梯级比以前少多了。所以本题的正确答案为[C]“由于公司管理职位的裁减,经理们在自己的职位上更缺乏安全感”。[A]描述的是过去经理的状况;[B]的内容未在原文中提及,第二二段指出,很少有人能既懂技术又担负管理职责,这并不意味着现在的经理忽视了技术的提高;[D]也不完全正确,原文中说的是经理不再像以前那么受尊重了,并不等于经理一点都不受媒体的尊重了。
