Last week I gave a talk to a group of graduate trainees who had just started work at a well known bank in the City of London.
几周前,我为伦敦金融城(City of London)一家知名银行刚入职的一群管理培训生做了一次演讲。
It is exactly three decades since I started out on a graduate training programme myself at another bank barely 100 yards down the road. Like these modern trainees, I spent an autumn on my backside listening politely to people who came to lecture us on this and that.
整整30年前,我自己作为管培生加入了另一家银行,那家银行就在我发表演讲的那家银行以南不到100码的地方。在30年前的那个秋天,我也和现在坐在我面前的这些管培生一样,坐在下面恭恭敬敬地听着不同的人给我们做各种演讲。
But now, being the one doing the talking, I kept thinking of my earlier self, and something odd occurred to me. The world of work is supposed to have changed beyond recognition since then, but actually it hasn’t. For graduate trainees, nothing of any importance has changed at all.
但现在,作为站在台上发表演讲的人,我一直在回想当时的自己,然后,我意识到了一些奇怪的事。自我做管培生那时候以来,职场似乎发生了翻天覆地的变化,但实际上变化并没有那么彻底。就管培生而言,变化微乎其微。
Admittedly, not everything is the same. A photograph of the 1981 intake at Morgan Guaranty in London would have shown eight men and one woman – me. We were all white and those who had not studied at Oxford had studied at Cambridge instead. In last week’s group, half were women, not all were white, and not all were Oxbridge either.
