Jabber's English Note--A mixed feeling

Recently, one of my co-workers submitted a resume toour manager for a Principal Software Engineer position. After the interview, we thought the guy is good and ask for our co-worker's opinion. His words really surprised us: For this guy, I have a mixed feeling. Technically, I think he is fine and he is a smart guy in any case. However, I submitted his resume simply because he asked me to do so. When we worked together for our previous employer, I was his team leader. He often bypassed me and our manager and report ed things directly to a VP. Our manager is a nice guy and tolereated his misconduct. Indeed, our team needs skillful people like him. But I am really concerned whether he could fit into the team.


If we spare some time to reflect, we will find out that we have mixed feelings towards a lot of people and things.

    • 用中文来说,这种用法的意思就是“又爱又恨”。
    • 初讀時,我以為你的同事把自己的簡歷交給經理自己申請那個職位呢.I re-write it as follows:
      Recently, one of my co-workers recommended his friend to my manager to fill the position of Principal Software Engineer . The friend got an interview. We all believed he was nice guy and would fit the job. However, when I asked for this co-worker's opinion, his answer surpised me.

      "For this guy," he said, "I have a mixed feeling......
      • Thank you for corrections
    • I was confused by the original post too. The revised one is much better.
      • I would agree with you. Anyway, if his co-worker said something like this, something must be wrong with this guy. I believe he would be the first one get laid off.
        • we should respect his opinions.
