我总以为,骑车的人是相对不错的员工。我们都算得上健康,也有必要的工具让自己可靠和准时。如果火车因一点风而停运(正如伦敦不久前的情况),我们仍能准时上班。我们愿意冒险,有一点点叛逆——这相当有用,尤其是对记者这个工作而言。
Only 10 minutes on a London road shows that we aren’t a group at all. Some of us are fast, some slow. Some wear helmets, some don’t. Some break all the rules, some break none. If employers really want to know what prospective employees are like, they should forget psychometric testing and watch them ride a bike. Some cyclists may protest that they are aggressive in the saddle only to become pussycats at their desks, but I don’t agree: on a bike you are close to death and so become a more intense version of your true self.
但仅在伦敦的街道上骑了10分钟,我就发现,我们根本不能被归为同一类人。有些人骑得快,有些人骑得慢。有些人戴头盔,有些人不戴。有些人无视一切交通规则,有些人遵守所有交通规则。如果雇主真的想了解潜在的雇员是个什么样的人,他们就应该忘记心理测量测试,改为观察应聘者怎样骑车。有些骑车者或许会抗议说,正是因为他们骑车时霸气,他们在办公室里才更甘于俯首帖耳。但恕我不能苟同:人们在骑车时离死神很近,因此会更多地展现出真实的自我。
