　　工作生活失衡不能怪老板

Working all hours? No time for family or hobbies? Stop blaming your employer and take responsibility for your own role in managing your work and life commitments, say a growing number of workplace and management experts -- most prominently Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg in her new book Lean In.

　　你是不是每天從早忙到晚?你是不是沒有時間照顧家庭，享受興趣愛好?越來越多的職場和管理專家表示，這可不能怪東家，你得自己負(fù)責(zé)管好你的工作與生活的各項事務(wù)。這些聲音中，最引人關(guān)注的是Facebook首席運(yùn)營官謝麗爾?桑德伯格在她的新書《互依》(Lean In)中的最新表述。

　　After all, with technology and a global economy blurring the lines between the job and home, the corporation is no longer in a position to tell you when to stop working, which tasks to prioritize, or how to set personal boundaries, says Cali Williams Yost, flexible work consultant and author of Tweak It: Make What Matters to You Happen Every Day.

　　畢竟，科技和經(jīng)濟(jì)的全球化使得工作與家庭的界線變得越來越模糊，公司也不再承擔(dān)這樣的一個職責(zé)：告訴員工何時停下工作，優(yōu)先處理哪些事情，以及如何設(shè)定個人空間界線等，《微調(diào)：一天一天實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想》(Tweak It: Make What Matters to You Happen Every Day)一書的作者、靈活工作咨詢師凱利?威廉姆斯?尤斯特表示。

　　"We all have a completely different set of circumstances and goals and priorities, " Yost says. "We're reaching at a natural point where companies can't do much more than what they're doing: offering the flexibility and rolling it out well. Now we need to use it."

　　“我們都有完全不同的狀況、目標(biāo)和優(yōu)先事項，”尤斯特說。 “我們正在接近一個自然的臨界點(diǎn)，超過這個臨界點(diǎn)之后，公司除了提供工作的靈活性，妥善執(zhí)行靈活性之外，再也無能為力。如今，我們需要利用靈活性?！?/p>

　　To be sure, not every employer has developed a functional approach to flexible work. And plenty of workers are still struggling with out-of-date bosses who categorically oppose workplace flexibility or simply undermine it, despite the documented benefits such as higher productivity, lower turnover, and greater job satisfaction. (Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer's recent ban on telecommuting may come to mind.)

　　當(dāng)然，并不是每家公司都已培育出有效的靈活工作方式。而且，很多員工還在和守舊的老板進(jìn)行斗爭。盡管靈活安排工作環(huán)境好處顯而易見，比如，它可以提高生產(chǎn)率、降低人員流失和提高工作滿意度等，但這些老板依然明確反對，甚至從中作梗。【這時，你或許會想起最近雅虎(Yahoo)CEO瑪麗莎?梅耶爾禁止遠(yuǎn)程辦公的禁令?！?/p>

　　In that case, you have two choices: work within your current restrictions or change jobs. Don't be like the 75% of people who, according to Yost's research, believe that their boss or employer must provide work-life flexibility in order for it to be possible, citing increased workloads and lack of time as obstacles.

　　在這種情況下，你有兩種選擇：要么遵從新的規(guī)則，要么換工作。不要像尤斯特調(diào)查的那75%的人一樣，他們認(rèn)為，老板或雇主必須提供工作與生活之間的靈活性，而且他們還將工作壓力大和缺乏時間視為障礙。
