????到目前為止，你或許已經(jīng)制定過(guò)一兩個(gè)新年計(jì)劃?；蛘吣愕拿恳粋€(gè)計(jì)劃都堅(jiān)持了下來(lái)。但如果能為同事制定一些他們?cè)敢鈭?jiān)持的新年計(jì)劃，豈不是很好？

????不妨參考下面的愿望清單：

????提供有用的反饋

?

????當(dāng)然，如果你的上司決定給你升職或安排一些國(guó)外出差的任務(wù)，自然是再好不過(guò)。但對(duì)于大多數(shù)上班族來(lái)說(shuō)，只要老板能就他們的工作提供一些具體實(shí)用的建議，他們就心滿意足了。畢竟，我們經(jīng)常聽(tīng)到的是一些不切實(shí)際的目標(biāo)，或不分青紅皂白的批評(píng)，甚至更糟糕的是，老板對(duì)員工的努力工作沒(méi)有任何表示。我們把大部分最有效率的時(shí)間用于工作，只是為了找到生活的意義和目標(biāo)。所以，進(jìn)入2014年，請(qǐng)不要讓我們的努力白費(fèi)。（當(dāng)然，這條計(jì)劃并不包括有關(guān)我的著裝或親人的那些不請(qǐng)自來(lái)的建議。）

????善待廚房

????還有比公共廚房更令人焦慮的地方嗎？你或許看到過(guò)廚房里堆滿了半拉紙盒，上面有黑色馬克筆留下的標(biāo)記，還有午餐剩飯被鎖起來(lái)以防偷吃。這些反應(yīng)過(guò)度的措施都源自同事們那些令人不快的經(jīng)歷，比如自己的食物被人偷吃，或者是因?yàn)橘澲四澄粺o(wú)名氏喜歡喝咖啡的習(xí)慣等等。

????洗干凈自己的餐具。不要把面包屑弄的到處都是，也不要留下油膩的指紋。請(qǐng)尊重這個(gè)公共空間。請(qǐng)不要再用微波爐加熱有異味的食物。如果一定要加熱那些會(huì)溢出來(lái)、或?yàn)R得滿墻都是的食物，請(qǐng)?jiān)谖绮汀氨ā敝笫帐昂脷埦帧?/p>

????最重要的是，請(qǐng)不要在辦公室的廚房里存放你的三瓶色拉醬調(diào)料、兩種口味的芥末、奶酪或其他原材料。沒(méi)有人想看著你的科研項(xiàng)目綻放“霉菌”，也沒(méi)人想看到它們把整個(gè)公共空間搞得臭氣熏天。

????不要消極抵抗

????我經(jīng)常在想，我們不應(yīng)該對(duì)咒罵他人的人罰款25美分，而是應(yīng)該對(duì)那些在辦公室低聲發(fā)牢騷或采取其他任何消極抵抗措施的人罰款1美元。比如對(duì)你的緊急請(qǐng)求拖拖拉拉的行政助理，對(duì)你的電子郵件視而不見(jiàn)的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員，在開(kāi)會(huì)時(shí)用低到讓人無(wú)法捕捉的聲音說(shuō)風(fēng)涼話的同事等等。

????如果你在整場(chǎng)會(huì)議中都是多余的，甚至全程都在玩《糖果傳奇》，大可以找借口離開(kāi)。如果我們所有人都得忍受無(wú)聊的會(huì)議，你憑什么要例外呢？如果必須接一通緊急電話或者需要回復(fù)電子郵件，可以請(qǐng)求離開(kāi)會(huì)議室，雖然這種情況極為少見(jiàn)。

????除非你希望遭到禁令限制，否則不要說(shuō)那些過(guò)于熱切的話。恭維同事戴的圍巾是一回事。而關(guān)心同事個(gè)人習(xí)慣的變化卻是另一回事，這種做法會(huì)令人毛骨悚然。比如：“哇，你今天在用不一樣的即時(shí)貼呀，”或者“你今天吃午飯的時(shí)間要比往常早。”

????有的同事會(huì)發(fā)一封電子郵件，然后在你面前看著你讀完，或者在你還沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)打開(kāi)讀之前，就打電話來(lái)要進(jìn)行討論。真希望他們也能看到這篇文章。

????By now, you may have made a New Year's resolution or two. You probably haven't broken any yet. But wouldn't it be great if you could make resolutions for other people in the office that they would keep?

????Here's a starting point for the wish list:

????Give useful feedback

????Sure, it would be nice if your supervisor resolved to offer you a raise or a few exotic travel assignments. But most of us working stiffs would be satisfied simply to receive practical, concrete feedback on our work from our bosses, rather than unrealistic goals, indiscriminate criticism, or -- sometimes worst of all -- silent lack of acknowledgment of our hard work. We spend our most productive hours at work, in a quest for meaning and purpose. In 2014, please don't let these efforts be in vain. (No, this resolution doesn't cover unsolicited advice about my wardrobe or relatives.)

????Treat the kitchen kindly

????Is there a more fraught location in the office than the shared kitchen? Maybe you've seen half-and-half cartons labeled with black permanent marker and lunch leftovers padlocked for protection. These drastic steps spring from our colleagues' traumatic past experiences of having their food stolen or subsidizing an anonymous coworker's coffee habit.

????Wash your own dishes. Don't leave a trail of crumbs or greasy fingerprints behind you. Respect this shared space. And please, resolve to stop using the microwave to cook stinky food. If you must heat something that spills or spatters all over the walls, clean up after your lunch explosion.

????Most of all, we beg, stop using the office kitchen to store your three bottles of salad dressing, two flavors of mustard, a cheese assortment, or any other staples. Nobody wants to watch your science projects blossom mold or begin to stink up the communal space.

????Stop being passive-aggressive

????I've often thought that instead of charging people a quarter for cursing, we should charge them a dollar for muttering under their breath or pulling other passive-aggressive moves in the office. That covers the administrative assistant who drags his feet in fulfilling your urgent request, the team members who ignore your emails, and the colleague who makes snide remarks in meetings, just low enough to escape comprehension

????If your presence is so superfluous to a meeting that you can play Candy Crush all the way through it, just excuse yourself. If we have to suffer through a boring meeting, then you do too. For those rare occasions when you must take an urgent call or respond to an email, excuse yourself from the table.

????Unless you're hoping to be slapped with a restraining order, keep the overly zealous observations to yourself. It's one thing to compliment a colleague's scarf. It's another to notice changes in habit that border on the creepy: "Oh, you're using different sticky notes today," or "You're eating lunch earlier than usual."

????And can someone please pass this article to the coworkers who send an email and then walk over to watch you read it -- or call to discuss it before you've had a chance to open it????

?尊重公共空間

????免提電話是一種奇妙的發(fā)明，但只能把它用于一種用途：讓一屋子人都能聽(tīng)到通話內(nèi)容。坐在辦公室大廳另一端的同事不需要聽(tīng)到你在電話里和某位大人物的大聲交談。如果是在帶隔間的辦公室或其他沒(méi)有隔音處理的辦公場(chǎng)所，更應(yīng)該減少這種行為。

????如果你闖進(jìn)其他人的辦公室去聊天，要注意對(duì)方的肢體語(yǔ)言，因?yàn)樗鼈兛赡茉诎凳灸?#xff0c;他非常繁忙，或者不希望被打擾。比如她正在打電話，趴在筆記本前面努力工作，或者把一根手指放到嘴前面（這是一種世界通用的信號(hào)，意思是“請(qǐng)保持安靜”）。如果你決定不再到其他人的辦公室閑逛，去抱怨自己有多倒霉，這會(huì)給你自己加分不少。

????最后，把自己的個(gè)人著裝習(xí)慣和相關(guān)的噪音限制在衛(wèi)生間或自己家里。沒(méi)有人想聽(tīng)到你剪指甲的聲音，也沒(méi)人想看到你剪完指甲留下的碎屑。那些吃飯大聲的人，還有不斷用筆制造噪音的人，沒(méi)錯(cuò)，說(shuō)的就是你們。

????不要推卸責(zé)任

????如果我發(fā)給你一份文件，它就正式成為你的問(wèn)題。目前大多數(shù)電子郵件客戶端都有很出色的搜索功能，所以，你不需要打電話讓我重新發(fā)送一遍。別再讓我在某件事預(yù)定日期之前兩天提醒你，為什么不把它寫(xiě)到自己的日歷里呢？

????當(dāng)某個(gè)項(xiàng)目受到批評(píng)或遇到問(wèn)題的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)專注于尋找解決方案。沒(méi)有必要解釋為什么自己沒(méi)能做好分內(nèi)的事，也不要解釋是別人的錯(cuò)。“不找借口”可不僅僅是健身時(shí)的口號(hào)。

????反饋： 你是否給自己的同事制定過(guò)新年計(jì)劃？請(qǐng)和我們分享。歡迎評(píng)論。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????Respect shared space

????The speakerphone is a wonderful invention that should be limited to just one purpose: allowing a room full of people to hear someone on the telephone. Your colleagues in the office down the hall don't need to hear both sides of your loud conversation with the big shot on the phone with you. This goes double if you're in a cube farm or any other workspace without soundproofing.

????When you pop into someone's office to chat, pay attention to body language that might signal that person is too busy or doesn't want to be interrupted. That includes if she's on the phone, hunched over her laptop, or holding a finger to a lip in the universal sign for "Please be quiet." Bonus points if you can resolve to stop lingering in other people's offices complaining about how swamped you are.

????Finally, keep your personal grooming habits and associated noises to the bathroom or in your home. Nobody wants to hear you clip your nails or witness the detritus that lingers after the fact. Loud eaters and incessant pen clickers, we're talking about you too.

????Don't pass the buck

????If I've sent you a document, it's officially your problem. Most email clients these days have decent search functions, so there's no need for you to call and ask me to send something again. Instead of asking me to remind you two days before something is due, how about putting it on your calendar?

????When we've got a crisis or problem in a project, let's focus on solutions. There's no need to explain why you couldn't hold up your end of the work or expound upon how everyone else is to blame. "No excuses" isn't just a fitness slogan.
