职场真的需要天天加班吗

　　职场就是这般的不讲道理，你以为你的“加班”会被领导认可，但没准儿领导还以为你在利用公司的资源做私活……

　　Nowadays things aren't going smooth. College graduates are having a hard time finding jobs as there are too few job openings, while those who do have jobs are facing staff cutting and salary reduction. In the past many people with jobs coveted better jobs, literally "keeping one eye the bowl and the other on the pan." The situation now can be described as "many people are grabbing for one bowl". Many people are holding fast their bowls--even though they are wood ones which cannot compare with unbreakable iron bowls or luxurious gold bowls--lest other people should grab them awyay。

　　当下年景不好，大学生求职碰壁，职场人裁员减薪，如果说过去大家是吃着碗里的看着锅里的，现在则是一个饭碗无数人在抢，很多人牢牢抱着自己的木饭碗，生怕被他人抢了去。

　　To effectively protect their bowls, many people are trying their utternost to give a good impression of themselves. In addition to conscientiously doing their assigned duty well, many people voluntarily take up many other duties not assigned to them, busy from morning till night like a wound clock. Well, comrades, you see, we do appreciate the attitude of taking such initiative in work! However, somethimes one should not overdo things...Confucius says that "going beyong the limit is just as wrong as falling short". That is to say, both doing too much and doing too little are open to discussion alike。

　　为了保护好自己的饭碗，很多人使尽浑身解数表现自己，除了兢兢业业做好本职工作，甚至自愿承担了办公室里的诸多分外之事，忙得像一只上足了发条的闹钟，一天到晚走个不停。咳咳，同志们，这种积极向上的工作态度，我们当然是——赞赏的！但有时候，也要注意一个度哇……论语云，过犹不及，也就是说，什么事情做得太过头了和做得不够一样，都是值得商榷的。

　　A former classmate of mine, for example, was so exited when he got his first job that he simply regarded the company with so much affection as his own home. He worked overtime of his own accord and did not go home till very late in the evening. He even dawdled there at weekends, when he had to do with instant noodles as the company's mess hall was not open on holidays. He voluntarily took up many odd jobs, including sending express mails. He expected that his behavior would leave a good impression on his boss and be the top among all the new hands, thus getting promoted as the first one among them。

　　比如，有位同学刚刚工作，兴奋之情简直难以言表，恨不能把单位当成家一样热爱，每天在单位“加班”到很晚才回家，周六周日也经常在单位泡着，没有食堂就凑合吃点泡面，公司的很多杂事哪怕寄个快递他都一并承担下来，他觉得这样能给领导留个好印象，在刚进去的一拨新人中拔得头筹，最快“晋升”。
