[疑问]要不要隐瞒同事和老板-要出国的事？

准备留学通常都要念一阵子的书，

如果是上班族就更要抓紧时间读书，

像是中午午休之类的，边吃便当边背单字，

或者是下班常常冲出去赶补习班，

很难不被怀疑你这个人很奇怪，

实在很难不被同事和老板发现我们要准备「离职」出国。

请问要出国有隐瞒的必要吗？

有人说被老板和同事知道不太好，

有些人甚至就这么被老板炒鱿鱼，

但是，要怎样才能不被知道？

可能不被知道吗？

举一个某人的真实例子：

(休息时间)

同事：疑~你在念书阿？

当事人：是唉。

同事：(瞄瞄书皮)念英文阿，这是什么？

当事人：以后要去考英文的教材。(总不能睁眼说瞎话，明明就是OG，只好老实说)

同事：哦哦~为什么要考这个？考这个做什么用的？

当事人：以后申请学校用的。

当当！

马上被发现，你准-备-要-离-职-了-

所以….到底要不要隐瞒呢~

大姐，难道与你接触的都是三岁小孩？

难道上班糊口的公司是慈善机构？

hoho~~

1. Depending on your relationship with your co-workers and manager.  Everyone knew I was applying, my co-worker and manager even wrote my recommendation letters.  I also know someone who isn't planning to break the news until shortly before school starts.

2. You can say learning English is for your own personal advancement.  Get your work done during working hours so you won't have to rush out of the door then study after you get home.  Unless you have classes every day, you could be going to the gym, meeting a friend, going to your English lesson, etc.

Yaoyao works in the US but it is different here. If you work in China, I think you had better not let your employer and coworkers know that you are leaving since you at least will stay for one year in the company before you leave. Do you really can learn much during your lunch time? I would suggest you just concentrate on your work during days and go back home earlier to work on your GMAT and appplication.

I think this is the most rational way to solve this problem,even it seems easy to say that do the right thing at the right place. Actually, I am facing the same dilemma. There is a tough fight in my mind.

In fact, we all know that working experience is as important as GT score, but how to banlance is a question. Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap an attitude; Sow an attitue, reap a habit; Sow a habit, reap a character; Sow a character, reap a destiny. If we want to put much more weight on the GT preperation, our working attitude will change, we may become negtive and less proactive about our work. Please don't assume the others can not figure out the little change from our performance, and also your manager will definately perceive it. As a result, they will think that you are not like this job or something negtive like that. Consequently, we will get less opportunity at the workplace. Which means we have less opportunity to get promotion, can't be a leader in a project and so forth. If we do not have any achievement in our work, how can we show our strong working experience in the essay?

Some one ever said that the one who could get the top MBA admission is successful before they apply it. I think it is the best proof that how important the working experien is. So we have to try our best on our job,if we can learn from it. But another problem will be raised. Can people get the best results on both of the two different things at the same time? Even though we can balance the time frame, do we have enough energy for two tough jobs? For me, I have less confident about it. But we need to realize that Top MBA degree is not suitable for everyone. Only the one who can beat difficulty and possess tough characteristic. Everyone will meet setbacks and frustration in our whole life. If we can not solve this kinds of dilemma, we won't get final success even we got the MBA offer.

So how should I do? The answer sounds simple, do the right thing at the right time at the right place. Put all my concentration on the work when I am in the working hours, maybe 9AM-5:30PM. When I am off duty, I still have approximately 6 hours to do what I dream to do. I think it should be enough. One said the secret of success is constency of purpose. If we keep pursuing this two targets, I think we can get satisfaction on both side. Compared with just focusing on one side, this solution seems competitive. However, it may take longer time. And also, we still have family、friends and a lot of other trivia to cost our energy. But these are all resistable, if I want the top MBA degree what I can do,and the only thing I can do,is to try my best to balance.

I don't know whether my opinion is right. Just post my thought and share with you. Hope can get your suggestion on this.

That's why I take gmat when I am still in school...

TO lz: don't u need your bosses to write you recommendation letter? How can you not let them know?  Or maybe you can ask your previous boss?

Can't agree more with pexi.

多谢各位宝贵的意见。我会想办法去取得balance的(pexi您说的真是对极了，未来面对的两难可更多呢~…)。其实我自己也是觉得不要说比较洽当，专注做一件事效率会比较好，在各种时间是当扮演自己该扮演的角色，可是有时候比较空闲时心思就会飘回牵念的GMAT上去了。所以我就是会中午想背单字的那种人，和同事吃饭聊天到休息时间结束感觉有点浪费时间，因为晚上回去说真的已经有点累了。零碎时间多宝贵呀~

但是不要紧，我会在思索一下对应之道，非常感谢您们^^

In China, I don't think it's a good idea to let your bosses and coworkers know TOO EARLY that you are applying for b-schools,at least not until you have a solid GMAT score and essays etc.  

Unless your company is paying for it.
