失業

Unemployment

1/3

如前所述,對破壞性擺錘 (Pendulum) 的遊戲,有支持也有反對兩種玩法。第二種選擇可能最危險,因為積極避免擺錘 (Pendulum) 會產生過剩潛能 (Exceed potential),從而把你拉入誘導轉變 (Induced shift) 的漩渦。現今,幾乎每個人都在某個時刻擔憂失去工作;一旦你發生誘導轉變 (Induced shift),發現自己流落街頭,那將是一個極為巧妙的局面。有時候,大事件始於微小且看似無害的初始信號,例如你聽說公司業績不如從前,或某位你認識的人最近失業,或工作場所傳出裁員的謠言。

As we have said, there are different ways of playing the game of a destructive pendulum, either by supporting it or negating it. The second option is probably the most perilous, since the desire to actively avoid a pendulum creates excess potential that can pull you into the vortex of an induced transition. Almost everyone nowadays experiences concern at some point or another about losing their job. An induced transition to finding yourself out on the street would be quite a crafty manoeuvre. Sometimes larger events start with something small and seemingly harmless; an initial feint signal. For example, you might hear that your company is not doing quite as well as it was before, or someone you know lost their job recently, or there are rumours at work that staff may have to be made redundant.

在潛意識層面上,一個原本微乎其微的紅燈信號便會亮起。不久後,你又聽到通脹指數飆升的報告,這讓你和身邊的人都提起了警覺。人們開始談論他們的擔憂,失業擺錘 (Pendulum) 因此獲得了能量來源。接著,關於股市即將下跌的消息傳來,整體緊張氣氛不斷升高。憂慮很快轉變為焦慮,進而演變為恐懼。到那時,你的能量已經開始以某條你能洞見自己失業狀態的生命線 (Life line) 振動。如果你擔心自己會成為被裁員的人,那這種恐懼對外顯得就像你戴著一個牌子,上面寫著「我可能會被裁員」。若你以為可以隱藏恐懼,那就錯了。肢體語言與聲音中的細微語調比千言萬語更能表露真情。一旦你失去自信,效率便會降低,以前簡單的工作也會變得艱難。這股緊張情緒會滲入你與同處困境的同事之間的互動中。你把焦慮帶回家,家人開始抱怨與批評;壓力上升,你不再是個高效率的員工。此時,你就彷彿戴著一個牌子,上面寫著:「等待解雇」。

On a subconscious level, an otherwise unnoticeable red light comes on. Shortly afterwards, you pick up on another signal such as reports that inflation is sky high. This keeps you and those around you on their toes. People start talking about their concerns and the unemployment pendulum is provided with a source of energy. Then there is news about an impending drop in the stock market and the general tension increases. Concern quickly gives way to anxiety and then fear. By this time you are already generating energy to the vibration of a life line where you can see yourself without a job. If you are afraid that you will end up being one of the ones made redundant your fear is as perceptible to others as if you were wearing a placard saying, “I might be made redundant”. If you think you can hide your fear you are mistaken. Body language and the slightest intonation in your voice say more than a thousand words. Once you lose confidence in yourself you become less efficient. Tasks that you found easy before seem more difficult. A certain tension seeps into your communication with colleagues who are in the same position. You take your anxiety home with you and instead of support you find your family begin to complain and criticize. Stress levels rise and you are no longer an efficient employee. At this stage you might as well be wearing a sign saying: “waiting to be sacked”.


3/3

被解雇的恐懼源於一種罪惡感,這種感覺或在你潛意識中慢慢熄滅,或熊熊燃燒起來。通常,最弱勢的員工會最先被揀走。如果你姑且認為自己可能不如同事那般強大,那你就等於把自己的名字寫進了黑名單。放下內疚,給自己做回自己的自由奢侈。如果這樣仍無效,就該開始尋找另一份工作,因為採取行動能有效消散你因情緒憂慮而產生的過剩潛能 (Exceed potential)。有些人一旦就職不久便開始找尋其他機會,並非因為他們立即想跳槽,而是因為擁有安全網的概念令他們感到更有信心。萬一出現意外情況,他們便知道有另一條備案可走。只要你對未來感到安心,平衡力量 (Balanced forces) 的作用就不會影響你。

The fear of being sacked lies in a feeling of guilt which either smoulders away or burns brightly in your subconscious. They always fire the weakest employees first. If you allow yourself to consider that you might be weaker than your colleagues you effectively write you own name into the black list. Let go of guilt. Give yourself the luxury of being you. If that does not work start looking for another job because the excess potential of your emotional worries will be dissipated by taking action. Some people start looking for another job, as soon as they have taken on a new position, not because they intend to change jobs immediately, but because the idea of having a safety net makes them feel more confident. On the off chance that something unexpected does happen, they know they have an alternative avenue to follow. If you feel secure about the future, the action of balanced forces will not affect you.
