A:I heard that now you are working hand in hand with Michalsen Labs.How is the marriage of your firms working out?B:It is not a match made in heaven ,but we are trying to make it work. In the beginning ,everyone was really gung-ho about our two teams working togeiher. After all,Michalsen has got a lot of resource that we don’t normally have access to. But I think our honeymoon period was over after thet started making some very unfair demands for our staff.
　　A:What kind of demands?
　　B:They aren’t willing to shoulder the burden equally. Partnership should mean both of our teams contribute equally. But they are not willing to get 100%,for example,they expect our team to put in over nearly everyday. But htay are out of the door at 5:30 everyay.
　　A:That doesn’t seem very fari. Did you discuss how the workload was going to be divvied up before you agreed on partnership?
　　B:See ,that is ont of the problems. We jumpped into this relationship too soon. So there are lots of things that are not clearly spelled out. Like responbility and profits sharing.
　　A:That is a dangerous situation. You have got to put everything in writing up front,or else later on,you could have some bad feeling between the two companies if the expectation is too different. It is on good to have bad blood between you afterwards.
　　B:You are right.
　　我听说你现在和米切尔森实验室合作密切.你们公司联姻结果如何?
　　这并不是天造地设的完美婚姻,但我们正在努力做得更好.一开始,两个队一起工作时大家真的是同心协力,毕竟米切尔实验室有很多我们原来没有的资源,但是我认为在他们开始对
　　我们的员工提出不合理要求之后,我们的蜜月期就已经结束了.
　　什么样的要求?
　　他们不愿意平均分摊责任.合作关系是我们两个队贡献均等,但他们不愿意付出100%的努力.比如说,他们希望我们队几乎天天加班,可他们却每天5:30就下班.
　　这样似乎不太公平...你们在确立合作关系之前讨论过如何分配工作量的问题吗?
　　你看,这就是问题之一.我们建立这种合作关系有点儿太匆忙了,所以很多问题没有讲清楚,比如责任和利润的分成问题.
　　这样就太危险了.你们必须把每件事都提前写在纸上,否则如果2个公司的期望值不同,日后很快就会发生不快.这种不和对你们今后的发展绝没有好处.
　　你说的没错.
