2016年10月15日托福口语真题Task2

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:a boss or a manager should not form close friendship with their employees.

Sample answer:

Well,I disagree with the statement.Because managers who try to be friends with their staff run into all sorts of problems.A manager’s job is to evaluate staff’s work,give them feedback and make decisions.If the boss makes friends with a certain employee.Others will think the employee has an unfair advantage at performance review time,thus resentment will start to build up.What’s more,when it comes time for promotions,an employee may have expectations that as a friend,the boss will promote him or her.While the boss should choose the best person for the job,not a friend.This could create tension in and out of the workplace.
