勇於向前成為職場常勝軍－該主動爭取「加薪升職」嗎 ？ TutorABC為你傳授勇氣 提高自我身價～中英文秘訣一次看Part1

在職場上的你，應該都渴望過加薪和升遷，除了實質上的利益之外，個人獲得的成就感和滿足也是加薪升遷的附帶價值。但要如何開口呢？這會是大家普遍面臨的問題！許多時候，機會其實就展開在自己眼前，只要有勇氣張開口要求，就有可能獲得肯定。TutorABC將要告訴你，如何用英文提出加薪和升遷的要求，幫助大家在職場上更能一帆風順！

升遷

If you get a promotion, you move up in the company’s organization. Maybe you were just a basic worker before, but after the promotion, you are in charge of a small team of people. Or maybe you were already in charge of a small team, and after the promotion, you’re in charge of the whole office!
There is also a verb form of this word, which is “promote.” If someone is promoted, they are moved to a higher position.

The opposite of promotion is demotion – let’s try to avoid that if we can!

如果你獲得升遷，表示你在組織內得到提拔。也許你之前是基層員工，但升遷後，你能管理一個小團隊；或者你原來管理一個小團隊，在升遷後你能管理整個辦公室！Promotion的動詞為promote，如果我們說Someone is promoted.表示某人被升到更高的職位，而Promotion的相反則為demotion，就是降職或降級的意思。當然我們最好避免這個情況發生。

加薪

Most of the time, but not all of the time, if you get a promotion, you may also get a raise. At some companies, everyone gets a small raise every year, even if they don’t get a promotion. If that happens automatically, great. But most of the time, if you want more money for the work you do, you will have to ask for it, and you’ll also have to explain why you feel you deserve it.
大多時候，如果你的職位往上升，可能就順帶加薪。但在某些公司，員工即使未獲升遷，每年仍能獲得微幅加薪。如果這樣的加薪能自然進行，那就太棒了！但是多數情況是，如果你要求增加薪水，就得主動要求，然後還得解釋自己為什麼值得領更多。

升遷對話演練

情境1　Taking a Risk （勇於嘗試）

A：Hi, sir, can I speak to you for a moment?

長官好，方便跟您聊一下嗎？

B：Sure, come on in. What do you want to discuss?

好啊，進來，你想聊什麼？

A：Well, I heard that Mr. Jones has retired from the company. I guess you’ll need a new manager for the team, and I wanted to throw my hat in the ring.

我聽說Jones先生要從公司退休了。我認為團隊會需要一個新經理，而我願意挑戰這份職務。

B：I see. So you think you’re ready for management?

我了解，你對這份管理職做好準備了嗎？

A：Yes sir, I really do. I’ve worked for this company for five years, and I have forged great relationships with both my coworkers and our customers.

是的，我已經在這間公司做了五年了，已經和同事及客戶建立了良好的關係。

B：But that’s just the thing. If you become the manager of your team, you will need to make some hard decisions. You might even need to fire somebody someday. Do you think you can handle that?

嗯，不過這份工作不只是這樣。如果你成為團隊經理，你將必須做一些困難的決定，甚至哪天還需要開除某些員工。你覺得你可以勝任嗎？

A：If that was the case, I’d do whatever I could to help that employee turn his performance around. But if there was no option, yes, I would do it if it was best for the company.

如果遇到這樣的情況，我會盡全力幫員工改善他的績效。但如果別無選擇，我會選擇做出對公司最有利的決定。

B：Good answer. Well, I can’t tell you yes or no right now, but I’ll certainly consider you for the
position.

回答得不錯，我現在無法給你明確的答覆，但你一定會在這職位的考慮名單上。

A：I appreciate it, sir.

感謝您，長官
