安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 376
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
The workers at the blast furnaces in our steel-rail works once sent in a "round-robin" stating that unless the firm gave them an advance of wages by Monday afternoon at four o'clock they would leave the furnaces. Now, the scale upon which these men had agreed to work did not lapse until the end of the year, several months off. I felt if men would break an agreement there was no use in making a second agreement with them, but nevertheless I took the night train from New York and was at the works early in the morning.

白话
钢轨厂高炉工人曾联名递话:如果公司不在周一下午四点前加薪,他们就离开高炉。但他们同意的工资标准到年底才到期,还有好几个月。卡内基觉得,如果工人先毁约,再跟他们签新协议也没用。尽管如此,他还是连夜从纽约坐火车,清晨赶到工厂。他没有直接拒绝或发火,而是亲自去现场了解情况,准备面对面处理。
上下文
出自卡内基自传,记录钢轨厂高炉工人以停工威胁要求提前加薪的事件。
今日一问
当对方先破坏约定时,你还会亲自去现场沟通,还是直接对抗?
