职场新手鸭梨好大 老板更喜欢老员工

　　Older staff are more productive than their younger colleagues, say researchers. More mature members of staff may be weaker and less agile than their junior counterparts, but they more than compensate with their greater experience, ability to work in teams, and success at coping when things go wrong. The researchers say: ‘While older workers make more errors, perhaps due to declining physical attributes, they hardly make any severe errors, perhaps due to more experience. ‘It is experience that prevents severe errors.’

　　在70、80甚至90年代，“大学生”三个字是闪耀着光辉金光熠熠的，是凝聚了社会以及家庭的浓厚期望的，一个家里“产出”一名大学生是多么光宗耀祖的事情。然而，进入了21世纪，大学生这个称号除了饱含社会的期望和自豪感之外，还凝聚了更多的尴尬、和无奈，超高的失业率，过低的大学生就业率让大学生这个词平添了许多烦恼。有专家经过研究发现：公司的老员工比年轻一辈，特别是新一代的大学生更有竞争力。因为，他们相对年轻的同业者来说思维更加敏锐、更沉着、经验更丰富，团队合作能力更强。专家总结：因为年龄的原因，年纪越大，生理功能下降，老员工有可能会犯很多小错误；但是另一方面，由于老员工拥有更多的经验，他们不会犯许多大的、严重的错误。

　　The scientists who studied production lines at a Mercedes-Benz truck factory in southern Germany also found that younger, more highly educated workers were less productive than those who had fewer qualifications – perhaps because the educated workers got bored more easily. The researchers, from the University of Mannheim, said their findings debunked the idea that older workers should be made redundant to boost productivity.

　　在德国南部-梅塞德斯·奔驰工厂生产线的科学家发现，年轻、教育水平更高的工作比那些证书拿得少的员工（老员工）生产效率要低得多。科学家分析，教育程度高的年轻人在工作中容易感觉无聊，不懂得沉下心去研究工作。来自 Mannheim大学的研究员称，这项研究彻底颠覆了---老员工才对工作产生懈怠感觉的理论。
