6. 職場(chǎng)霸王 Workplace bully

If you are often humiliated, belittled or called names by a colleague, you could be facing a workplace bully. The bully’s remarks and actions may seem harmless at first but they are meant to be offensive and to show you in a poor light.

如果你頻繁被某個(gè)同事羞辱、蔑視或者辱罵，你面對(duì)的可能是一個(gè)“職場(chǎng)霸王”。這位“霸王”的言行起初可能并不會(huì)對(duì)你造成傷害，但其中的冒犯之意是顯而易見的，而且會(huì)讓你處于弱勢(shì)地位。

常見的職場(chǎng)霸王行徑有：

1. 在會(huì)議上處處針對(duì)你

2. 搶走你的工作成果

4. 拿你開涮

7. 蜂王綜合征 Queen bee syndrome

Queen bee syndrome was first defined by G.L. Staines, T.E. Jayaratne, and C. Tavris in 1973. It describes a woman in a position of authority who views or treats subordinates more critically if they are female.

蜂王綜合征一詞最初由斯泰恩斯、賈亞拉特納和塔佛瑞斯在1973年定義，指處于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位的女性對(duì)女下屬更為嚴(yán)苛。

研究人員猜測(cè)，蜂王綜合征可能是在各自領(lǐng)域取得較高職場(chǎng)地位的女性用以抵抗她們所處文化中任何形式性別歧視的武器。患有蜂王綜合征的女性通過阻止同性下屬升遷這樣的職場(chǎng)文化惡習(xí)來使自己更好地融入同一級(jí)別的男同事當(dāng)中。
