The Pretenders

骗子型的同事

Who They Are: Pretender colleagues are the con men and women of the workplace. They may appear self-assured but forever worry about being discovered as frauds.

他们是何许人也：骗子型的同事是职场上的骗徒。他们可能表现得很自信但总是担心被别人发现他们是骗子。

How to Identify Them: Pretenders misrepresent, embellish and exaggerate, creating misunderstandings and false expectations all around them. They will even manufacture a crisis, just so they can save the day.

如何判断谁是骗子型的同事：骗子型的同事颠倒是非黑白，对自身进行美化和夸大，使别人无法对其有正确的认识。为了挽回局面，他们甚至会凭空捏造出危机事件。

What to Watch Out For: Ironically, pretenders are capable and likable when a project is in the planning stage. Then, the effort required at the execution stage triggers them to begin hyping themselves and their abilities up. They become an ongoing source of frustration, disseminating misinformation that throws everybody off course, leaving colleagues scratching their heads trying to discern the truth.

要注意的问题：具有讽刺意味的是，当一个项目处于计划阶段时，骗子型的同事很能干，也招人喜欢。接下来，当要开始为项目执行阶段付出努力时，他们开始夸大自己的作用与能力。他们开始不断传播消极情绪，散播错误信息，使大家都脱离所做的项目，让同事们对事情的真相摸不着头脑。
