When the eminent fashion historian Caroline Evans writes about the roots of the fashion show in The Mechanical Smile (2013), she leaves us in the year of the Great Crash. By 1930, she suggests, all the conventions were set: ‘Some men and women come into a room, they walk up and down and they exit….

雖然中秋已過，但在職場上，中秋未必看得出誰是好老細，但一定可照得出跟着哪個老闆無運行。 中秋節在香港普遍有個不成文規定，就是正日大概會在下午三、四時提早放工過節，因這是大節最重團圓。但年輕友人A呻：「中秋當日要做到晚上六時半才放工。」我奇怪：「你老闆都應該想早放啦！無理由大時大節辛苦自己又辛苦下屬！」友人無奈答道：「傻啦，她當然無辛苦自己，一早三點鐘就鬆人，留低繼續工作的，只有下屬。」 我以為老細自己工作狂，大時大節自己想開工要求員工都一樣，已夠過分，殊不知有人做得出自己一早大搖大擺地走先、卻留下員工埋頭苦幹，簡直無言以對。有老細如此「寬以待己、嚴以律人」，跟着她無運行。長期在這種「時差式寬待」下工作，腎上腺素會像被反覆拉扯的橡筋，終將失去彈性。 友人B亦提供另一單笑料：中秋過後，其老闆拎來兩盒月餅，笑吟吟說：「請大家食！」語氣慷慨如分封諸侯。明眼人一瞧便知–這定是家中堆積如山的節後剩餘物資，自己「食唔晒」才當公司員工是「月餅回收箱」。看見老闆cheap得那麼明顯（只有他本人不覺），全辦公室默契地集體患上月餅厭食症，任那兩盒月餅在茶水間變成職場擺設。 節慶是照妖鏡，三流老闆總在細節處露出馬腳，節後拎來家裏的滯銷貨，還要演繹成「施捨式福利」皇恩浩蕩，可算是刻薄2.0。聰明的管理者懂得以節慶凝聚人心，短視者卻連月餅的時效都計到盡，這種行為，讓員工在背後藐視和耻笑。所以，時節見人心，雖說但願人長久，千里共嬋娟，但若遇上這等老闆，長遠來說無運行，還是更新求職履歷、待時機成熟另謀高就為妙。畢竟，職場的月光，照得亮前途，也照得清誰不值得你浪費青春。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has had a bad day. That’s how the boss of another big US tech firm Cloudflare put it – probably feeling very relieved that today’s outage, hitting over 1,000 companies and affecting millions of internet users, had nothing to do with him. The places hit by the outage vary significantly. It…
