新词什么意思,职场新词：什么是职场“粘地板”？

【#英语资源# 导语】职场中最令人绝望的并不是“玻璃天花板”，而是sticky floor(粘地板)，员工被迫长年累月地拿着可怜的一成不变的薪水而又看不到任何晋升机会，受害者通常为女性。

Sticky floor refers to unofficial business practices that keep workers in low-paying jobs that offer little chance for personal advancement. Like glass ceiling, sticky floor is a metaphor for the occupational frustrations of workers.

“粘地板”指的是一种不正规的商业惯例，让员工长年累月地拿着很低的薪水而又不给其任何晋升机会。就像“玻璃天花板”一样，“粘地板”是对员工职场挫败的一种比喻。

Many workers caught on the “sticky floor” are women, women who don’t have a voice, who are too busy trying to balance their family life with jobs and low incomes, who have become industrial fodder.

许多被“粘”在“地板”上的员工都是女性，那些没有发言权、挣扎着平衡家庭生活和低收入工作的女性，那些已经沦为“工业饲料”的女性。
