Hi everyone.
2
In this video, we will listen to a dialogue in which colleagues share their experiences with a toxic manager.
3
Listen carefully and at the end you can take a comprehension test.
4
Let's begin.
5
Emma, have you heard the news about John?
6
Apparently, he's not coming back.
7
And there's even talk of him being fired.
8
really i knew he was on leave but i assumed it was for personal reasons what's going on
9
i don't think it's as simple as that have you ever worked with him directly
10
not recently but i've heard plenty of stories about him over the years
11
i've never worked with him myself but people who have say he was always yelling threatening to fire people.
12
Jessica told me he stole one of her ideas.
13
She pitched this amazing project at the monthly creative workshop, and everyone loved it, John included.
14
But when she saw the meeting notes, her name was nowhere to be found.
15
He basically repeated her ideas and made it seem like they were his.
16
He even made her do all the planning.
17
And then, when the project, the one about cars, finally started, she was reassigned to something else.
18
Didn't that project win an award?
19
It did.
20
But Jessica got no credit for it.
21
She was livid, but what could she do?
22
Speaking up would have risked her job.
23
Definitely.
24
It's nearly impossible to challenge someone as senior as John, or as he was.
25
What was your experience working with him?
26
well you mentioned the shouting i've been in meetings with him
27
and we all learned to stay quiet
28
it was awful people were genuinely scared of him did you ever notice him taking credit for others ideas
29
it wasn't always obvious he was brilliant no doubt about that but he had a whole team behind him.
30
Not every idea was his, but after a while, it's hard to say, this was mine and that was yours.
31
For me, the bigger issue was how unpredictable he was.
32
One day, you were in his good graces, and the next, you were out, no explanation.
33
And once you were out, things got really tough.
34
I've heard women especially struggled working with him.
35
Absolutely.
36
Like I said, you had to stay on his good side.
37
If he made a comment that made you uncomfortable, you just had to let it go.
38
May I ask if this has ever happened to you?
39
Not directly, no. But we all knew it happened.
40
And no one dared to speak up.
41
I was lucky.
42
I didn't have to interact with him much.
43
They're launching a full investigation.
44
So I guess a lot of this come out eventually.
45
I hope so.
46
Honestly, I hope he's gone for good.
47
Thanks for listening.
48
I hope this helps you improve your English.
49

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
