Julia：I could handle everything pretty well in the old position， so I decided to move around and Iearn something new.
Tina：How's your current job going？
Julia：I'm pretty satisfied with it. I can broaden my experience， Iearn Iots of new things， and have more development opportunities.
Tina：Sounds good， but I still think perhaps you should first have a clear career path to follow， and then decide whether to change your job or not.
Julia：Yes， you're right. When I graduated， I didn't know what I really wanted to do or what I could do.Now things are growing much clearer.
Tina：Do you have a definite career path yet？
Julia：I'm not sure. I just Iike the job I'm doing now.
跳槽
蒂娜：你在那家国营企业工作得怎样？
朱莉娅：我已经不在那儿了，现在我在一家跨国公司上班。
蒂娜：你又换工作了？怎么跳得这么频繁呀？
朱莉娅：我想试试不同的工作，然后看看到底喜欢哪个。
蒂娜：你怎么不在一个工作岗位上多做一段时间呢？
朱莉娅：原来的工作我都能处理得很好，所以我想换换环境，学点新东西。
蒂娜：现在这工作怎么样呀？
朱莉娅：挺满意的。我可以拓宽视野，学到很多新东西，还能得到更多发展机会。
蒂娜：听起来不错，但我还是认为你该先找到一个明确的职业生涯发展，然后再决定要不要换工作。
朱莉娅：没错。刚毕业的时候，我不知道自己想做什么，也不知道自己能做什么，现在我清楚多了。
蒂娜：现在有明确的职业生涯发展了吗？
朱莉娅：还是不太清楚，不过我还挺喜欢现在的工作的。

想换工作吗？教你“跳槽公式”决定去留
Now that we're through the lethal Christmas Firing Season， when corporations celebrate what should be the happiest time of the year by heaving people from the balustrades， it may be a good time to assess our chances of making it through all four quarters of the current calendar year. I believe I've stumbled upon a powerful mathematical tool that will take the subject out of the speculative zone.I humbly present an equation to calculate your likelihood of survival：
圣诞节应该是一年中最快乐的时刻，可许多公司却以将员工扫地出门的方式来“庆祝”。如今，我们已经平安度过了可怕的圣诞节辞退季，是时候评估一下我们安然度过今年四个季度的可能性了。我认为，我偶然遇到了一个强大的数学工具，可以让员工不再为这个问题纠结。下面就是计算员工生存概率的等式：
E=mc2
E=mc2
In plain English， this means that your exposure to danger， E，is a function of certain factors we will examine in a moment， m，multiplied by the amount of money senior management is spending on consultants， c2. Let's look at m first， since it's the key measurement in our calculation.
简单地说，这个公式是指员工将承受的风险E，等于我们下文研究的一系列因数m，乘以公司高管为咨询顾问支付的资金金额c2。我们首先来看一下m，因为这是计算中的关键指标。
The state of your industry and the confidence your senior management has in it（20%）：Some companies are run by people who believe in their business. Others are not.If your management believes your company can grow， you can keep this number down.Employees of the“we are doomed”school of management， not so much.
所在行业的状况及公司高管对行业的信心（20%）：部分公司的负责人对公司业务信心满满。而有些公司负责人则较为悲观。如果你所在公司的管理团队相信，公司能够实现增长，那么这个信心比例是可以成立的。但如果公司管理层认为“我们玩完了”，则该信心比例将会降低。
Your tenure and cost to the organization（30%）：How much money could the company save if it hoisted you by your expensive petard？Gulp twice if that question makes you nervous.
员工任期及公司在此期间花在你身上的成本（30%）：如果公司以聘用你的成本过高为理由炒你的鱿鱼，公司能够节省多少开支？如果这个问题让你感到紧张，那就做两个深呼吸吧。
Your fungibility（20%）：Of course you're good at what you do， and that counts in your favor. But if tough decisions had to be made， would you be easy to replace with another cog in the machine？Could your duties be handed to somebody else， and the whale continue to cut through the water without coughing？If so， this number will be high for you， because you are fungible.On the bright side， you can decrease this liability， either by carving out new turf for yourself or by killing the people who could do what you do.
你的可替代性（20%）：当然，你对自己在的工作非常擅长，这很重要，对你也非常有利。但如果必须做出艰难的决定，公司是否很容易就能用其他人来代替你？如果把你的职务交接给其他人，公司是否依旧能够正常运行？如果答案是肯定的，那么这个比例就会比较高，因为你是可替代的。不过，从好的方面来看，你可以开拓新领域，或者干掉可能代替你的人，以此减轻这种倾向。
Your crony factor（10%）：Do you play quoits with Mr. Roover？Run in the morning with the finance team？Get plastered after work with Bob？All that stuff counts， you know.It's not dispositive.But it counts.
亲信因素（10%）：你会跟鲁弗先生玩套圈游戏吗？早上会与财务团队一起跑步吗？下班之后会与鲍勃喝个痛快吗？虽然这些都不是决定性因素，但却非常重要。
Are you loved？（5%）：It's a small part of the
equation， but it's been known to save more than one life.
你是否受青睐？（5%）：这在等式中只占很小一部分，但却曾让许多人化险为夷。
This brings us to c， the quantity， when squared， that puts all employees at risk. It may be ascertained in your corporation by estimating the amount of money senior management is spending on consultants.That is the number they have to justify.Get that number and you have the constant.
接下来是c，即数量的平方，它会使所有员工面临风险。在你的公司内，通过估算公司高层用于咨询顾问的开支金额，就可确定这个因数。他们必须对这个数字进行说明。得到该数值后，便可作为常量。
Execute the calculation now that you have all the components. If the result is more than 50 times the cost of consultancy， dust off your résumé。
确定所有因数之后，执行运算。如果结果超过咨询工作成本的50倍，那么恭喜你，赶快准备简历吧。
Oh， there's one other thing. If you are already underpaid， overworked， overwrought， exploited， underappreciated， and routinely the last guy to leave at the end of the day， make your m a zero.And zero times anything still comes out zero， no matter how many consultants are rummaging about with their whiteboards.
另外，还有一件事。如果你的薪酬已经很低，工作过度，劳累不堪，受到老板的剥削，得不到上级的赏识，经常是每天最后一个离开公司的人，那你的得分只会是零。而零乘以任何数的结果依然是零，无论高层找了多少顾问来咨询。
