1
I summon my engineering manager and I put him in defense mode to vouch for me during this performance calibration.
2
I also put two cards face down and I end my turn.
3
Are you sure you want to do this?
4
If we lose, we might be put on pip.
5
Or worse, be banished to the shadow round.
6
Shut up, pussy.
7
I play peer feedback magic card, which allows me to special summon three different cross-functional partners.
8
A product manager, a data scientist, and a designer.
9
and I use them all to attack your engineering manager.
10
Using negative feedback, I activate my trap card, Broken Goal Metrics.
11
This allows me to reflect your attacks back to your data scientist
12
and blame his work for not having proper goals for engineers to go on.
13
I use the PM to summon five bug reports.
14
I played Cannot Reproduce Closing Tickets to instantly get rid of all these reports.
15
I also summon AI Agent which increases my productivity points by 100% but adds 200% tech debt.
16
Tech debt effects are delayed for 3 turns.
17
This penalty is negated as I will have played change teams before it triggers.
18
I summon HR and I activate Activity Tracker.
19
This allows me to track your mouse movements, keystrokes, and screen captures and it reveals that you were absent for 15 days last quarter.
20
You've triggered my trap card.
21
I activate mental health days.
22
This card stipulates that since your toxic working conditions led to my burnout,
23
it is legally impossible for you to penalize my absences without risking a massive class action lawsuit.
24
That's a stupid-ass card and you know it.
25
Give up already.
26
There is nothing left in your hand to to deny my promotion.
27
I'd say normally you definitely get that promo, but...
28
There is no but.
29
I'm getting my promo.
30
But what you fail to account for is that my deck contains an unstoppable force.
31
Company-wide layouts.
32
UGH!
33
Impossible!
34
assembled all conditions necessary to summon this card.
35
AI, COVID, investor pressures, geopolitical headwinds, I summon company Y, Layhouse, aka Exodia!
36
It's not possible.
37
We're a well capitalized based tech company.
38
You can easily afford all your employees.
39
I don't care.

Exodia, obliterate them to the permanent honor class!

42
Interesting.

重点词汇与短语
- 召唤 (summon): 在角色扮演中引入人物或概念的动作。
- 防御模式 (defense mode): 保护自己立场的策略。
- 反馈魔法卡 (peer feedback magic card): 利用同事的反馈来支持自己的请求。

练习技巧
为了有效提升你的英语口语能力，建议利用英语影子跟读的方法进行练习。在观看这段视频时，可以选择慢速或标准速率，仔细聆听说话者的语调和节奏。
首先，关注视频中的节奏，尝试重复每个句子，确保发音清晰。在这个对话中，角色之间的对抗与趣味可以帮助你保持兴趣。因此，大胆地模仿他们的语气和情感，这对于你的英语口语练习非常有益。
此外，在练习时可以采用shadowspeak的方式，选择特定的短语进行反复练习，直到能自然流利地说出。这不仅有助于语言的流畅度，也能增强你的信心。记住，练习是提升口语能力的关键。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
