A phrase that first became fashionable a decade ago is everywhere. "Bring your whole self" is one of four values that British Land, a property developer, trumpets on its website. Quartz, a publisher, ran a workshop last year called "How to navigate the wholeself workplace". "Your whole self is welcome here," pledges ING, a bank, to prospective employees.
Behind this thought lies a good intention—or rather lots of good intentions. The notion of the whole self variously captures the idea that people are more engaged in work if they believe in a firm’s purpose; that teams are more effective if colleagues understand each other; that people with different identities should feel comfortable in their own skins; that firms should care about and respond to issues that affect their staff’s well-being, from mental health to child care; and that leaders need to show some of their personal side to be connected with their staff.
However, any idea that covers so much ground is bound to have
holes
in it, and this one would make a colander blush.
Most obviously, no one should actually bring their whole selves to work. People are a melange of traits, some good and some bad. Many of them should be kept well away from the workplace. Your professional self displays commitment to the job and eats lunch at a desk. Your whole self is planning the next holiday and binges ice cream on the sofa. Pretending to be someone you are not is not a problem; it’s essential.
For the same reasons, your employer may say it wants you to bring your whole self to work but doesn’t really mean it. A company is a hierarchy, in which even the most understanding bosses expect people to follow orders rather than their hearts. Say something that causes your firm embarrassment, and you will end up being disowned rather than lauded for authenticity.
Any job that involves a uniform is by definition asking employees to subsume their personalities, not express them. When times are tough or performance is shoddy, an employee is an individual second and a line item in the budget first. If the circumstances require it, he will be asked to leave and take his whole self with him.
As a result, the bringing of whole selves is carefully circumscribed. One of the attractions of the workplace is that it is a place where there is a shared endeavour. That endeavour is called "work". You need to be capable of empathy, but you don’t need to constantly emote. You have to turn up, try hard and play your part. You have to bring your role self.
"Bring whole self to work" in terms of firms probably means________.
选项
A、exert yourself for the hardest goal
B、play your role self in the workplace
C、fully follow the rules of the company
D、not fear the consequences of your words
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干中的firms可定位至第五段。第一句提到,doesn’t really mean it(这并非老板的本意)。第二句进一步解释,even the most understanding bosses expect people to follow orders rather than their hearts(即使是最通情达理的老板也希望员工听从命令,而不是随心所欲)。第三句指出,Say something that causes your firm embarrassment, and you will end up being disowned (说一些让你的公司尴尬的话,你最终会被解聘)。综上可知,老板的真实意图是让员工扮演好自己工作中的角色,而不是展现最真实的自己,故B项正确。其他选项均为对原文信息的主观臆断,故排除。故本题答案为B项。
