A picture of pear (yali) stands for “pressure”, which shares a similar pronunciation with the fruit in Chinese. One post-90s girl who goes by the online name of Xiao Wei, was taking notes of a meeting all in such type of slang which is popular with many young people. But she was out of “RP” (renpin), which means “luck” in online slang-speak: Her boss confused at reading her notes, gave her a real dressing down.
因为水果鸭梨与压力谐音，所以人们用鸭梨的图片代表压力。一位网名为小薇的90后女孩就选择用这种备受年轻人热捧的火星文做会议记录。可是小薇却没有那么好的RP（人品，在网络火星文中指的是运气的意思）——她的老板根本看不懂她写的是什么，并把她狠狠地批了一通。

Xiao Wei later posted her notes on the BBS of and stated her “grievances”: “I’m a post-90s girl and I use ‘post-90s style’ language, and for this I may get fired!”
随后小薇将会议记录发到成都全搜索的论坛上，并表示自己很委屈。她说：“作为90后，我喜欢用90后风格的语言。但这却可能让我被炒鱿鱼。”

Like Xiao Wei, many youngsters find that their use of trendy online slang, elaborate emoticons and wacky cell phone ring tones may not be appreciated in the workplace.
和小薇一样，许多年轻人发现使用火星文，各种复杂的表情符号以及怪异的来电铃声这种在职场中并不受欢迎。

Annoying ring tones

恼人的手机铃声

A survey on “workplace cell phone ring tones” by in March, 2009, asked around 5,000 respondents what ring tones they found most annoying. While loud ring tones were hated most, “indecent” and “wacky” ring tones came second and sixth respectively.
2009年3月，智联招聘网站曾针对办公室中手机铃声的使用情况做了一项调查。大约有5000名网友参与该调查，回答了他们心中最难以忍受的铃声类型。结果显示，吵人的铃声让人最难以容忍，不雅铃声，搞怪铃声分列第二、六位。

Besides annoying colleagues, such habits might also make people question your maturity and professionalism, according to Cao Yong, a finance manager at China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation.
中国石油工程建设公司的财务经理曹勇（音译）表示，这种铃声除了会打扰到同事，还会让人觉得你不够成熟和专业。

“A lack of awareness regarding office rules and workplace etiquette causes workplace freshmen to bring inappropriate habits to the workplace,” said Cao. “They often behave no differently at work to how they behaved in school.”
曹勇说：“职场新人们若忽视办公室规定或疏于职场礼节，就会把不良习惯带到工作中。这些新人往往进入职场后表现得和在学校时一样。”

He attributes such behavior to an inability to switch from a school to workplace mindset quickly enough.
他将这些举动归咎于，这些新人的思维无法适应从校园到职场的快速转型。
