我在英國工作兩年多,最看不慣就是target/completion oriented的做事方式,因為有超過九成的結果都是要重頭再做。原因是英國人在大多數情況都是不求甚解地把表面弄得好像完成了,但背後的結構&原理錯漏百出,浪費人力資源成本

同感!我觉得不是注重过程还是结果地问题,是只看表面还是重视实质的问题。我的体会是,对过程形式符合有一堆policy,SOP(很多时候远非唯一正确高效的方式)要求符合,但却对是否真的有效果真的对结果有帮助毫不在意。 只要表面形式符合,而且一定要求符合,不管实质如何。极其反感这一点。不知道是因为行业field的原因,还是国家普遍的工作风气

I've been working for a financial company in Canada for many years and I must say the office culture in England is very much the same as here and the US. Very informative video and highly recommended.
Thank you for this video! After working in UK for over 17 years. This video can still teach me valuable things. And good for your sister! What her manager said is shocking and not the British working culture I know of.
謝謝舒萱老師,先點個贊,下班再看 😊

現在在英國工作,影片裡的句子真的每天都會用到。謝謝你的統整讓我能運用得更好。 最後,真的非常驚訝你妹妹的故事,沒想到在英國還會有這樣的“善意提醒”

謝謝做這個影片,跟我個人經驗很符合,學到不少。另外想提一下在15:52的地方提到"the working environment is very competitive",中文應該會說是那樣的環境很競爭、競爭很激烈,或是很高壓等,而應該不會用"競爭力"去形容工作環境。通常中文使用"競爭力"還是在形容人的能力、公司表現等等。希望這個回饋對你有用 :)

Very informative and concise . I used to study in England decades ago, it was not easy for a Hong Kong student to understand the British way of communication ( being subtle ) and humour etc ..
Hey Susie, thank you for sharing the British company culture. That's really helpful. Looking forward to watch more such videos.
Love your content. Suggestion for 16:40. 'Does anyone have any concerns?' and 'Are there any...' usually invite a 'yes or no' answer, those not inclined to speak usually won't respond. Although well intended, will mostly get head shakes all around (depending on the workplace culture of course).
謝謝你的分享與介紹❤
If you have a podcast show, I’ll listen that every single day ❤❤❤
感謝Susie分享英國職場文化資訊😀😀🤝🤝下次見。
All your advises are very useful indeed. Your enthusiasm for helping those oversea students to improve with their understanding of British culture and English are absolutely respectable. You are the best of the best 👍

Do more this type of practical tution. Many thx🎉
Same in France, gen-Z tend to finish work efficiently and leave the office right on time. Compare older generation, have no idea why they alway can make simple task complicated and stay in the office unnecessarily long

Competitive有两个意思:1、有竞争力的;2、高度竞争性的环境。Law和Finance是第二个
Super cool stuff. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Truth be told, this clip is truly unique.
我家公司都有121 都是跟manager 聊聊天,關心一下近況 倒是在small talk 時很多slangs , 都聽不懂,不過有時都裝聽懂😂
可以請Susie在多做商務英文的Video 嗎?
Super commercial. Most people want to win via proving their smart and right. Some focus on theirselves more which is the same only thing maters in the end.😁😉
Regulation and policy are essentially important, but flexibility can increase productivity.
1-5都是為了6 聊很多 好像很友好但有沒有做好工作是另一回事😂😂
Super helpful, thanks!
感謝舒萱老師分享英國職場技巧,好有用。正正好奇英國職場會是怎樣
Very useful video! Work culture varies hugely between organisations though. Government funded organisations in particular (eg.NHS), could be incredibly bureaucratic.
Beside with flexibility , creativity from each individual in a business organization are foremost. Any open minded management team should find a way to bring along the potential and creativities with all their staff .Without a doubt , It helps the company to growth by doing so .
Is that possible to upload these audios on podcasts? That would be so convenient when we want to listen while walking
Thanks a lot,you do your lessons📚

plea n(request) (比喻)SC 恳求,请求 kěn qiú,qǐng qiú TC 請求 Gareth's plea for mercy fell on deaf ears. 嘉瑞斯恳求宽恕,但没有人听他的 比喻 ? Is it meaning that the first meaning for "plea" etymologically speaking is " lawsuit", then is used as a metaphor for " request"?
Hi Susie, thanks for the video, I have learned a lot. One small question though, when people speak in indirect communication style, are they genuinely open to all answers, or are they just looking for consensus? For example, when one said, 'would you be able to complete it by today' or 'do you think it would be alright to reschedule the meeting', are those negotiable?
很好
很喜歡這樣的內容分享謝謝! 但比較偏好(至少一個段落裡面)盡量以單一語言進行為主,語言一直跳來跳去聽起來有點累....

加班看Manager,有些manager就会压迫手下免费加班
I would say it is not the matter of result orientated nor complying with the procedure but their careless and negligence when working. They can repeat doing wrong on simple things, for example your name, your address etc.
I learned a lot from this video, but I guess It depends what'sthe backgroundof your leader? My manager is from South Africa, so all of our meetings are procreding straightforwardly 😂

Do you have any classes on business Engkish
to do overtime without pay …. what were they thinking
I suppose if you speak more English when teaching English seems much better. Explaining more in English rather than Mandarin could probably create a better linguistic context for learners, at the same time, Chinese can be displayed as subtitles.

The story of your sister is quitely normal among working culture of asia companies but most of us would follow the advice from manager if we don't want to be sacrified during annual performance review. 😥

其实东亚人善于所谓「阳奉阴违」,表面遵循程序和权威,私底也会有很多智慧去干预上司。很多大公司明面程序一套,实际程序是另一套,比英国要复杂很多。即便在以刻板工作著称的日本也是如此,所以会出现最近日本车企质检作弊门类似的状况

Sounds like your sister worked for Asian company! Working overtime would give manager a negative impression as incompetent in western company. Company will not pay us a dollar more if we stay over hours without permission.

It's speaking too much Chinese/Mandarin rather than teaching how improving to speak 'natively' in real life. BBC learning English channels (for business) are better one. It’s so sorry about it.
