Last month, we had another coworker leave, which was very sad for us since she got along well with everyone and she contributed well to the company. We got her a card, took her out to lunch, and had a nice pleasant goodbye. This particular coworker, however, is not well liked, continually slacks off 不尽职 ( To be unproductive; to not perform one's duties. Emily is slacking off since this is her last semester; she completely stopped trying to make good grades. ), and, in general, is not a good employee. Are we obligated to treat him the same way as our previous coworker and get him a going-away card/lunch? If so, would it look bad if I were to opt out of going to the lunch and/or signing the card?

(Although leave that up to them. Don't lobby 劝说, 劝服, 游说 them not to.) That said, while it's perfectly appropriate for you and your coworkers to either do something or not do something for this guy, the guidelines are different 情况不一样 when it comes to your company and your manager.

Until now, Canberra had been staunch in its view 意见坚决, 坚定 Assad must go before any peace initiative could begin or an enduring 长期的, 持久的 political solution could be achieved. Canberra's about-face 大变脸, 大转变 reflects an interplay 互相反应 ( the ways that people or things affect each other or react when they are put together. The summit highlighted the often hostile interplay between the two countries. ) of factors, including Islamic State's strength on the ground as well as the changed political environment in Australia, where Malcolm Turnbull is prepared to take a less hardline but more pragmatic approach to the Syrian crisis than his predecessor did. Prior to his removal, Mr Abbott said Assad "should go", describing his government as a "dreadful regime" that had committed "monstrous" atrocities against its own people. More than anything, the new position reflects the shifting power-politics 权利政治 of the Syrian civil war, including the recent build-up of Russian troops in Syria, who have been flown in by Russian President Vladimir Putin to shore up 巩固, 加强 Moscow's weakened ally in Damascus. Washington, too, has softened its opposition to the Assad regime, with Secretary of State John Kerry saying the US was now prepared to countenance ( [ˈkauntənəns] n. your face, or the expression on your face. v. to approve of something, or to allow something to happen. ) the presence of Assad as an interim player in resolving Syria's civil war. Previously, Washington had said Assad's ouster was a deal-breaker in political negotiations. The calls for Assad's removal began in the early stages of the civil war, when his downfall looked assured确定无疑的, but the dictator has held on for longer than expected, thanks largely to vicious infighting among Syria's fractured 四分五裂的 rebel movement. Assad's resilience has created a quandary 两难境地 for the West, which finds itself facing a much larger problem in the form of Islamic State, a bitter foe of both the Syrian regime and Western democracies. Last week, Mr Kerry said Washington was not going to be "doctrinaire" ( [ˌdɑktrɪˈner] adj. basing your opinions on very fixed political beliefs, without considering whether they are practical. their doctrinaire opposition to publicly run healthcare. a doctrinaire Marxist. ) about the timing of Assad's removal. "It doesn't have to be on day one or month one," Mr Kerry said. "There is a process by which all the parties have to come together and reach an understanding of how this can best be achieved." Ms Bishop also indicated Assad did not have a long-term role to play in his country's future. "The specific role and duration of President Assad's involvement would likely be temporary," she said. She added that any peace settlement would require the backing of the UN Security Council, where both Washington and Moscow exercise veto rights. "Therefore the views of Russia and the US are vital," Ms Bishop said. Moscow has significantly bolstered its presence in Syria, deploying about 28 fighter planes and about 2000 personnel to Latakia, Assad's Alawite stronghold. The build-up has provoked mixed feelings in the West, which has welcomed help in the fight against Islamic State but is apprehensive 忧虑的 ( slightly worried or nervous. apprehensive of: It's a strategy that many teachers are apprehensive of using. apprehensive about: Leonora felt very apprehensive about his visit. ) about the Kremlin's long-term ambitions in Syria. Ms Bishop gave credence to ( gain credence if an idea gains credence, people become more likely to believe it. The notion that our mental state affects our physical health is gaining credence. give credence to something to believe that something is true. It was too silly an idea for Chrissy to give any credence to it. give/lend/add credence to something formal to make people think that something is likely to be true. The recent discovery of the largest meteorite crater in Europe gives credence to Solomon's theory. lend credence/plausibility/weight to something to make an opinion or idea seem more correct. An in-house study has lent credence to the complaints of poor and impersonal service. ) speculation that the Russian effort might indicate Assad's regime was weaker than many thought, perhaps even close to collapse. Since it began in 2011, Syria's civil war has become one of the most brutal in recent history, leading to an estimated 220,000 deaths and driving hundreds of thousands more from their homes, a development that has triggered the worst refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. Labor wants to hear an explanation on the plan from the government, security expert advice and the views 看法, 观点 of American and European allies before deciding its position on the move. "We are going to be very careful before we go down that path 选择那个方向, 走那条路," Opposition Leader Bill Shorten told reporters in Casino in NSW on Saturday. "I do not believe Australia should be picking sides in Syria." As far as Mr Shorten could tell, there was "not a great deal to separate" the Assad regime and Islamic State. "It's a matter of record that Assad has been a dreadful dictator," he said. "Labor has no time for the administration or the government of Assad." 6.

Man-braids' tipped to replace hipster beard as next big thing in men's fashion: Many will have breathed a sigh of relief 松一口气 at the news that the hipster beard may soon be no more.

Those serious about rocking a new look understand that it should be admirable 让人肃然起敬的 from every angle. (Instagram). Forget the widely-derided 广为诟病的 "man-bun" – the next big thing in follicular fashion, if Instagram is anything to go by, is "man-braids", a fairly self-explanatory 不言自明的 new 'do for preening males with a penchant for taking dreamy, post-shower selfies ahead of another cred-building session at the tattoo parlour. This variation on the man-braid may owe something to Mel Gibson's bold portrayal as a bloodthirsty 嗜血的 Scottish nationalist in the 1995 classic, "Braveheart", or possibly Heath Ledger's character in the circa-1997 TV series "Roar". (Instagram). According to the Huffington Post, rumblings of the incoming must-have look began about a year ago when One Direction tween-killer Harry Styles roadtested the look. Harry Styles wore man-braids way back in 2014. Bet all the people who thought the style was lame then aren't laughing so hard now. (Instagram). Styles' example was soon followed by actor and musician Jared Leto, who sported a kind of truncated Princess Leia style at the 2015 Golden Globes. Jared Leto's hair has undergone many transformations over the years, but rumours that it is seeking its own agent are categorically false. (AAP). For those of us who still think there's a modest nobility in a $30 short back-and-sides, this new development may prove unwelcome, but frankly, there is little that can be done; once the "man-" prefix has been attached to a modern phenomenon, there's every chance it'll be staying awhile.
