商務英語口語對話:我們也去挖人吧
M: I wish our competiton will quit poaching our people, when Susan resigned last week to work for the Sunburst, she was our fourth employee to leave us for them.
F: Have you ever considered that perhaps we have a morale problem among our employees? If everyone is discontent with their work, of course they won't stick arround.
M: Well, those do leave will soon find out the grass isn't as green on the other side of fense as they thought it was, I know Sunburst is suffering from inbreeding.
F: Inbreeding is a big drawback from snitching most of their empoyers from one or two companies.
M: With Susan leaving, we should probabaly look to someone new on board.
F: Our human resource department is working on it, it's not easy to recuit new empoyees every few month, it's hard to find qualified people.
M: Maybe we should start shopping around the competitors people.
我希望我們之間的競爭能使我們的員工不再被挖走!蘇珊上週辭職去旭陽公司工作,她是第四個離開我們去爲他們工作的員工.
你想過沒有,也許我們的員工中存在着士氣問題?如果大家對自己的工作都不滿意,他們當然不會留在這裏.
可是那些離開的人很快就會發現那邊的情況並不像他們想象的那樣好.我知道旭陽公司現在經受着近親繁殖的痛苦.
近親繁殖是公司發展的一大障礙,這是因爲他們的大多數員工都是從一個或兩個公司偷挖去的.
由於蘇珊離開了,我們可能還需要找新人來接替工作.
我們人力資源部們正在做這件事情.每隔幾個月就招聘新員工可不是件容易的事情,要找稱職的就更難.
或許我們應該開始好好物色下競爭對手的員工了.
