相处之道不容易

1.It Pays to Get Along
相处之道并不容易

请职业化

我们在观察你

5.We Pay Attention Selectively
我们在观察你

待到穷途末路时

7.The End of the Road
待到穷途末路时

"If you get fired, don't just stomp out and go on with your life. The company may be willing to give you some severance, especially if you can point to someone different from you who didn't get as severe a punishment.

招聘要求让人抓狂

招聘要求让人抓狂

薪酬问题

9.Money Matters
薪酬问题
