职场各“族”生存之道

Among notable Panks is actress Cameron Diaz. She was present at the births of all her three nieces and admits she spoils them rotten.

女星卡梅伦·迪亚兹就是"潘克族"。她的三个外甥女出生时她都在现场，而且她承认她对她们及其溺爱。

Sociologists coined the acronym to reflect the growing number of childless professional women who have plenty of disposable income and time to spend with youngsters. With more women choosing to focus on successful careers and delay having children, Panks are a growing phenomenon.

社会学家们用这个缩写词来反映目前无子女的职业女性人数不断上升这一现象，她们有足够的可支配收入和时间跟孩子们一起相处。随着越来越多的女性专注于事业成功，推迟生孩子的计划，"潘克族"成为一个日渐突出的现象。

【新入职场的"零阻力员工"】

刚刚走出校园的职场新人们一般都会成为最常被差遣的对象，额外任务、临时任务，还有累人的出差任务最先考虑的人选往往也是"一人吃饱，全家不饿"的新进人员。领导们这样做可能是因为刚毕业的新人大多都是无家无口、无拖累的zero drag状态吧。

In physics, drag refers to the resistance experienced by an object moving through a fluid medium (such as air). Zero drag is an ideal state where the object experiences no resistance at all, much like a highly motivated employee who has few personal responsibilities and so can work long hours, travel frequently, or be called in to work with little notice.
