Prologue Ira Glass When she was a kid LaDonna Powell would go to Easter parties at her mom's work.
序言 Ira Glass 当拉唐娜·鲍威尔还是个孩子的时候,她会去她妈妈工作的地方参加复活节聚会。
It was great, because her mom worked at JFK airport in New York City.
这太棒了,因为她妈妈在纽约肯尼迪机场工作。
LaDonna and her brothers and sisters and cousins would gather Easter eggs out on a parking lot by the tarmac in what's now the American Airlines terminal.
拉唐娜和她的兄弟姐妹和表兄弟姐妹会在停机坪旁的停车场收集复活节彩蛋,该停车场现在是美国航空航站楼。
Planes were taking off and landing right overhead.
飞机就在头顶上起飞和降落。
They liked that.
他们喜欢这样。
A bunch of her family works at JFK.
她的家人都在肯尼迪机场工作。
Her mom makes airplane meals, but there's also her uncle, two aunts, three cousins, and her sister.
她妈妈做飞机餐,但还有她的叔叔、两个阿姨、三个表兄弟姐妹和她的妹妹。
Everybody has a role.
每个人都有自己的角色。
They feed the passengers, they deliver their bags, they clean up the planes after them.
他们为乘客提供食物,运送行李,清理行李后的飞机。
And when she was 20, LaDonna found her role-- she'd keep the airport safe.
20 岁时,拉唐娜找到了自己的角色——她要保证机场的安全。
She got a job with TSA.
她在美国运输安全管理局 (TSA) 找到了一份工作。
She scanned bags and laptops.
她扫描了包和笔记本电脑。
She took it seriously.
她很认真地对待这件事。
Like, she would picture the pipeline that runs below the airport, carrying millions of gallons of jet fuel, blowing up if there were any kind of bomb.
就像,她会想象机场下方的管道,运载着数百万加仑的喷气燃料,如果有任何类型的炸弹,就会爆炸。
Like, if the bomb goes off in this airport, what happens to everyone here, everyone that I care about if we don't commit and do our job properly here?
就像,如果炸弹在这个机场爆炸,如果我们不承诺并妥善做好我们的工作,这里的每个人,我关心的每个人会发生什么?
It was like, I used to have this terrible dream of a woman walking up to me and pressing, igniting a bomb.
就像,我曾经做过一个可怕的梦,梦见一个女人走到我面前,按着我,点燃了一颗炸弹。
Every time-- I would go to sleep and have this dream all the time.
每次——我睡觉时都会做这个梦。
So when I came to work, I was always very adamant on staring at the X-ray machine.
所以当我上班的时候,我总是非常执着地盯着X光机。
After a few years at TSA, she moved to a different job, this one out on the tarmac with a private security firm that works at the airport, a firm that eventually became part of Allied Universal, which is a huge company-- the largest security firm in North America, with 150,000 employees all across the country.
在 TSA 工作几年后,她换了一份不同的工作,在停机坪上与一家在机场工作的私人保安公司合作,这家公司最终成为 Allied Universal 的一部分,Allied Universal 是一家大公司,是北美最大的保安公司,在全国各地拥有 150,000 名员工。
At JFK, Allied guards screen the vehicles and the airplane catering trucks and all the other stuff that's down there on the runway.
在肯尼迪机场,盟军警卫对车辆、飞机配餐卡车以及跑道上的所有其他物品进行检查。
LaDonna was excited to work with them.
拉唐娜很高兴能与他们合作。
She went through training and then was assigned to shadow a more senior guard.
她接受了培训,然后被分配跟随一名更高级的警卫。
My first day in the field was not great.
我在这个领域的第一天并不顺利。
I was put with this guy.
我就和这个人在一起了。
He was an older white guy.
他是一位年长的白人。
And he was very nice to me but very mean to the people we were screening going onto the runway, because a lot of the duty-free trucks come through that load the planes with food for first class, and he was saying the nastiest things to them.
他对我很好,但对我们在跑道上安检的人却很刻薄,因为很多免税卡车经过,给飞机装载头等舱的食物,而他对他们说了最难听的话。
Quick warning that we've un-beeped the curse words here on the podcast.
快速警告我们已经取消了播客上的咒语。
If you prefer a beeped version of our show, maybe you're listening with kids, it's at our website.
如果您喜欢我们节目的嘟嘟声版本,也许您正在和孩子们一起收听,请访问我们的网站。
He was saying all types, like things hurry the f-- hurry the fuck up, move the fuck on, get out of his fucking face.
他说的是各种各样的话,比如事情快点他妈的快点,他妈的继续前进,从他妈的脸上滚出去。
He would try to get free things.
他会尝试去获得免费的东西。
So he would, like, threaten them.
所以他会威胁他们。
Like, oh, I'm not going to let you through if you don't give me free food.
就像,哦,如果你不给我免费食物,我就不会让你通过。
And they would give him water and juices and stuff.
他们会给他水、果汁之类的东西。
So it's like he was extorting them, basically.
所以基本上就像他在敲诈他们一样。
Yeah.
是的。
He kept telling me he was a Russian badass.
他一直告诉我他是个俄罗斯坏蛋。
That's what he kept saying.
这就是他一直说的。
He was like, I'm a Russian badass.
他说,我是个俄罗斯坏蛋。
And he had-- it was like a baseball cap flipped backwards.
他——就像一顶向后翻转的棒球帽。
We're supposed to wear it forward, with the-- and he flipped it backwards, and he opened his shirt, and he was saying, I'm a Russian bad boy.
我们应该把它向前穿,然后他把它向后翻转,然后他打开衬衫,他说,我是一个俄罗斯坏孩子。
You know I'm a badass, right?
你知道我是个坏蛋,对吧?
And I was like, I have no idea who you are.
我当时想,我不知道你是谁。
Today's my first day, I don't know who this guy is.
今天是我第一天,我不知道这个人是谁。
He's freaking me out already.
他已经把我吓坏了。
After checking cargo vans and trucks for a while, the guy told LaDonna that he was going to be inside the security booth by himself for a bit.
检查了货车和卡车一段时间后,那家伙告诉拉唐娜,他将独自在安全亭内呆一会儿。
She should stay outside by herself and wait.
她应该独自留在外面等待。
He played music in the booth and started looking at what LaDonna says was a Playboy magazine.
他在展位上播放音乐,然后开始看拉唐娜所说的《花花公子》杂志。
LaDonna had read the employee handbook and knew that both of those things were a violation of company policy.
拉唐娜读过员工手册,知道这两件事都违反了公司政策。
And she had also read a book that her best friend gave her, Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office.
她还读过她最好的朋友送给她的一本书,《好女孩抢不到角落办公室》。
And she thought of it now, the way that guy dismissed her, treated her like, you know, a girl.
她现在想到了,那个男人抛弃了她,对待她就像对待一个女孩一样。
Like I'm overly nice and easy to walk over.
好像我太好了,很容易被走过。
Like, OK.
就像,好吧。
Wrong.
错误的。
Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office spends a lot of time on not being easy to walk over, on the need to speak up, on the need to stand up for yourself.
好女孩得不到角落 办公室花了很多时间在不轻易走过、需要大声说话、需要为自己挺身而出。
LaDonna reads lots of these business books and management and self-help books.
拉唐娜阅读了大量此类商业书籍以及管理和自助书籍。
She watches talks online-- not for motivation.
她在网上观看演讲——不是为了激励。
She is so motivated, in general, one of her friends calls her Olivia Pope-- like, always wanting to fix something.
总的来说,她非常积极主动,她的一位朋友称她为奥利维亚·波普——就像她总是想解决一些问题。
She reads this stuff because the worldview in these books matches the way that LaDonna already sees things.
她读这些东西是因为这些书中的世界观与拉唐娜已经看到的事物的方式相匹配。
Like, they give her words to describe what she is feeling all the time anyway-- always try to elevate, always be moving ahead.
就像,他们用她的话来描述她一直以来的感受——永远努力提升,永远前进。
And this dude, disrespecting his job and her, he was an affront to that entire worldview.
这个家伙不尊重他的工作和她,他是对整个世界观的侮辱。
So even though it was her very first day out in the field doing her brand-new job, right then, on the tarmac, she decided she had to confront the problem.
因此,尽管这是她第一天到现场做全新工作,但就在那时,在停机坪上,她决定必须面对这个问题。
So I was riding back with him in the car, and I said to him, why do you do things like that at work?
于是我和他一起坐车回来,我对他说,你为什么在工作时做这样的事情?
And he was just like, he hates the job.
他就像,他讨厌这份工作。
He was like, he hated that place, and that's just what he does.
他就像,他讨厌那个地方,而这正是他所做的。
He does whatever he wants to do.
他想做什么就做什么。
And I was like, well, you know, you make it bad for everyone else.
我当时想,好吧,你知道,你让它对其他人都不好。
If you don't want to be here, just don't come.
如果你不想来这里,就不要来。
And then he started calling me, like, Sister Souljah, and then he made a joke about it.
然后他开始称呼我,比如苏尔贾修女,然后他就这件事开了个玩笑。
And that was it.
就是这样。
She was not diminished.
她并没有被削弱。
LaDonna had no respect for a person who did not value this place or this job.
拉唐娜不尊重一个不重视这个地方或这份工作的人。
And when they got back to the supervisor's office-- LaDonna did not feel great about this, but she told a supervisor about the Russian badass and his behavior.
当他们回到主管办公室时,拉唐娜对此感觉不太好,但她向主管讲述了这个俄罗斯坏蛋和他的行为。
In other words, she handled it.
换句话说,她处理好了。
Spoke her mind to the dude, check.
跟那家伙说了她的想法,检查一下。
Reported him, check.
举报他了,查一下。
He did not get to her, check and checkmate.
他没有接近她,将死。
And eventually-- she explained this to our producer, Chana Joffe-Walt, who was the one who actually talked to her-- she explained that the Russian badass, he got fired-- for something totally unrelated, actually.
最终——她向我们的制片人查纳·乔夫-沃尔特(Chana Joffe-Walt)解释了这一点,他是真正与她交谈的人——她解释说,这个俄罗斯坏蛋,他被解雇了——实际上是因为一些完全无关的事情。
He stole water from Port Authority, and they fired him.
他从港务局偷水,他们解雇了他。
The water coolers, how they have-- he would take them out of the storage and put them in the trunk of his car.
饮水机,他会把它们从仓库里拿出来,放进汽车后备箱里。
[LAUGHTER] LaDonna Powell And they caught him-- exactly.
[笑声] 拉唐娜·鲍威尔 他们抓住了他——没错。
And they caught him.
他们抓住了他。
Yes.
是的。
They had him on CC camera going to his car with the water, because he's a badass.
他们让他拿着水走向他的车,因为他是个坏蛋。
He probably walked out with it on his head and carried it to the car.
他可能头上顶着它走出去,然后把它抱到车上。
So he got fired for stealing water, not for looking at pornography while he was on the job?
所以他被解雇是因为偷水,而不是因为工作时看色情内容?
Right.
正确的。
Yeah.
是的。
Chana Joffe-Walt Dude likes water.
Chana Joffe-Walt 这家伙喜欢水。
Yeah, exactly.
是的,完全正确。
Clearly.
清楚地。
Ira Glass LaDonna Powell is not a Russian badass.
艾拉·格拉斯·拉唐娜·鲍威尔不是俄罗斯坏蛋。
She's a totally different kind of badass.

It's like she's a dedicated student of how to be a great employee, the kind of employee who excels and rises in an organization.
就像她是一名专注的学生,学习如何成为一名优秀的员工,成为一名在组织中表现出色并不断晋升的员工。
And now she was entering a company that would be the greatest sort of challenge for an employee like that, a place where people are not playing by the rules.
现在她进入的公司对于这样的员工来说将是最大的挑战,一个人们不遵守规则的地方。
The Russian was just the very first obstacle she faced.
俄罗斯人只是她面临的第一个障碍。
It was about to get way uglier.
事情即将变得更加丑陋。
What you're about to hear is the story of a willful and principled person who sets out to figure out, first, how to rise in this company and, second, how to remake the way the entire place runs, which requires some ingenious strategizing on her part.
你将要听到的是一个任性而有原则的人的故事,她首先要弄清楚如何在这家公司晋升,其次如何重塑整个公司的运作方式,这需要她制定一些巧妙的策略。

The booths are basically checkpoints for everything that goes out there-- food, fuel, water, duty-free purses.

At the beginning of each eight-hour shift, LaDonna would go to the Allied locker room, change, and stand in line for roll call outside the supervisor's office.
在每个八小时轮班开始时,拉唐娜都会去盟军更衣室换衣服,然后在主管办公室外排队点名。

Like, I'm not turning around, and I know that's not what you're supposed to be doing, and I'm not supposed to open my clothes for you.
就像,我不会转身,我知道这不是你应该做的,我不应该为你打开我的衣服。

And I would always have these thoughts, are they doing this because I keep talking back?

When traffic was low, LaDonna would sometimes take out her reading, and suddenly a voice would come into the booth, put that away.

LaDonna says it was around this time that she started to repeat phrases to herself from the book Managing Your Manager by Gonzague Dufour.
拉唐娜说,大约在这个时候,她开始对自己重复冈萨格·杜福尔所著《管理你的经理》一书中的短语。
It lays out three strategies for handling a bully boss.

Number one, don't take it personally.

Done correctly, you build skills, you level up, and you move on to a place where you'll get a better boss.
如果做得正确,你可以培养技能,升级,然后你会找到一个更好的老板。
View the bully as temporary.
将欺凌者视为暂时的。
This is how she would correct Kevin-- do her job extremely well, get through this part, and be seen by the people above Kevin.
她就是这样纠正凯文的——把自己的工作做好,把这部分做好,让凯文上面的人看到。
She'd repeat to herself, everyone has a boss.
她会对自己重复一遍,每个人都有一个老板。
And it was that boss-- Kevin's boss-- she was focused on.
她所关注的正是那个老板——凯文的老板。
At the worst post, on the worst shift, without breaks, LaDonna targeted the game.
在最差的位置、最差的轮班、没有休息的情况下,拉唐娜瞄准了比赛。
It was busy, lots of opportunities for growth.
当时很忙,有很多成长的机会。
I really learned a lot, just working out there.
我真的学到了很多东西,只是在那里锻炼。
You're outside in the field, so it's very hands-on.
你在野外,所以需要亲自动手。
You're using a mirror, you're checking under vehicles for bombs, you're checking under vehicles for any anomalies, anything that's not supposed to be there, just making sure when it goes on the runway that it's safe.
你正在使用镜子,你正在检查车辆下方是否有炸弹,你正在检查车辆下方是否有任何异常情况,任何不应该存在的东西,只是确保当它进入跑道时它是安全的。
So it felt good, purposeful.
所以感觉很好,有目的。
Like, OK, I'm actually doing something.
就像,好吧,我实际上正在做某事。
This appeared to go unseen by Kevin.
凯文似乎没有看到这一点。
Everyone has a boss, she'd tell herself, but she never heard from Kevin's boss.
每个人都有一个老板,她告诉自己,但她从未收到凯文老板的消息。
What continued to be noticed was her failure to put her body where the supervisors could see it.
继续引起关注的是她未能将自己的身体放在主管可以看到的地方。
She'd hear their voices in the booth, telling her to come forward in front of the camera.
她会在展位上听到他们的声音,告诉她要走到镜头前。
When she worked hard, nothing.
当她努力工作时,什么也没有。
When she needed a bathroom relief after 8 or 10 or sometimes 12 hours, no answer.
8、10 或有时 12 小时后,当她需要上厕所缓解一下时,却没有得到答复。
So she'd limit the pain.

On her way to work--
上班路上——
I would go to the-- there was a convenience store on Lefferts Boulevard before I got there, and I would go to the convenience store.
在我到达那里之前,我会去莱弗茨大道上有一家便利店,我会去便利店。
I would get a juice or ask for a coffee and get an extra cup on the bottom of it.
我会喝一杯果汁或要一杯咖啡,然后在底部多加一杯。
In the locker room, before her shift, LaDonna would throw in the cup with the rest of her stuff for when she had to pee.
在更衣室里,轮班前,拉唐娜会把杯子和其他东西一起扔进杯子里,以备小便时使用。
She'd head to roll call, with Kevin.

And I would be there.
我会在那里。
I would have a roll of tissue-- like, I'd roll it up on my hand in the locker room-- and an empty cup with me all night.
我会带着一卷纸巾——就像,我会在更衣室里把它卷在手上——还有一个空杯子,整晚都带着。
Oh, and that was another thing.
哦,那是另一回事了。
He would come and look at your bag, because you have a clear plastic bag.
他会来看你的包,因为你有一个透明的塑料袋。
They want to make sure you're not carrying any electronics out there onto the field, or you're not stealing anything.
他们想确保你没有携带任何电子产品到现场,或者你没有偷任何东西。
So you have a transparent bag.

You can see straight through my bag, but then he still would make comments about my pads and my tampon-- oh, why do you need so many pads?
你可以直接看穿我的包,但他仍然会对我的卫生巾和卫生棉条发表评论——哦,你为什么需要这么多卫生巾?
It's like, why do you care?
就像,你为什么关心?
It doesn't bother you, and clearly you can see that it's not something I stole from here, so why do you care?
它不会打扰你,而且你显然可以看到这不是我从这里偷来的东西,所以你为什么要关心呢?
Don't go back at him.
别回头找他。
Tone it down and say, OK.
降低语气说,好吧。
Just try to focus on me.

How can I get past this stage?

LaDonna stuck to her plan, did her job extremely well, worked hard.

And then, just as the book said, she was noticed-- not by Kevin or his boss but by a manager at the airport.
然后,正如书中所说,她被注意到了——不是凯文或他的老板,而是机场的一位经理。
This man had seen LaDonna working, seen how hard she worked, and he recommended to Allied that they promote LaDonna to supervisor.
这个人看到了拉唐娜的工作,看到了她工作的多么努力,他向联盟建议他们将拉唐娜提拔为主管。
This recommendation likely carried weight-- the airport is Allied's client-- and it definitely had an effect on LaDonna.
这个建议可能很有分量——机场是联合航空的客户——而且它肯定对拉唐娜产生了影响。
She'd never even thought about being a supervisor.
她从来没有想过要当一名主管。
That was many levels above what she'd imagined.
这比她想象的要高很多。
And then she read Lean In.
然后她读了《向前一步》。
Lean In is by Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook.
Lean In 的作者是 Facebook 首席运营官谢丽尔·桑德伯格 (Sheryl Sandberg)。
It explains why so few women make it to the top of their professions.
这解释了为什么很少有女性能够达到职业的顶峰。
Sandberg argues that women-- and this is the line LaDonna slowed down on-- women systematically underestimate their abilities.
桑德伯格认为,女性——拉唐娜放慢了语速——女性系统性地低估了她们的能力。
LaDonna had been so focused on her bosses underestimating her abilities, maybe she had underestimated herself.
拉唐娜如此关注她的老板低估了她的能力,也许她也低估了自己。
Now she'd been noticed.
现在她已经被注意到了。
Someone saw her as supervisor material.

She just had to answer one question for herself, the question posed by Sheryl Sandberg, one of the most powerful female executives in the world-- could she picture herself as a boss?
她只需为自己回答一个问题,即世界上最有权势的女性高管之一谢丽尔·桑德伯格提出的问题——她能把自己想象成一名老板吗?
It was like, do I really want to be in charge of other people?
就像,我真的想负责其他人吗?
And then I have to take a step back and say, do I really want these kind of people in charge of me?
然后我必须退后一步说,我真的希望这些人来管理我吗?
It's like, I never had that moment until then.
就好像,在那之前我从未经历过那样的时刻。
These are the guys in charge of me?
这些人就是我的负责人吗?
I'm peeing in a cup outside.
我正在外面的杯子里撒尿。
These are the people in charge of me.
这些是我的负责人。
So I really had to evaluate what I was doing-- what I was doing mentally to myself.
所以我真的必须评估我在做什么——我在精神上对自己做了什么。
Like, I was literally my biggest enemy.
就像,我确实是我最大的敌人。
That voice in the booth, the unseen authority that LaDonna had found so unnerving, suddenly seemed ridiculous.
隔间里的那个声音,拉唐娜觉得如此令人不安的看不见的权威,突然显得很荒谬。
Why is he counting her pads?
他为什么要数她的卫生巾?
Why can't she just eat her PB and J?
为什么她不能直接吃掉她的PB和J呢?
They seemed desperate and threatened.
他们似乎绝望并受到威胁。
I can do the job you're doing.
我可以做你正在做的工作。
You're not Jesus right now because you're a supervisor.
你现在不是耶稣,因为你是一名主管。
I can read and execute this job just like you, if not better, because all you're doing is acting like Adolf Hitler, an insane person here, and you're treating people like animals.
我可以像你一样阅读和执行这项工作,甚至更好,因为你所做的一切就像阿道夫·希特勒一样,这里是一个疯子,而且你对待人就像对待动物一样。
Let's try the other way.
让我们尝试一下其他方法。
After two years at Allied, LaDonna made it to supervisor.
在联合队工作两年后,拉唐娜晋升为主管。
She went from $15 an hour as a guard to $32 an hour.

And in June 2014, she entered the supervisor's office.
2014年6月,她进入主管办公室。
I get to walk in, and now they're going to see me in my blue shirt-- because the supervisors wear a different blue shirt from the security guards-- and I was like, oh, they're going to piss their pants.
我走进去,现在他们会看到我穿着蓝色衬衫——因为主管穿的蓝色衬衫与保安不同——我当时想,哦,他们会尿裤子的。

他们会非常生气,因为现在我是平等的。
We're both in the same field.

拉唐娜遇到了她的新老板——凯文的老板,所有主管的老板——一个名叫克里斯·汀布莱克的高个子黑人。
And she was given 50-something guards of her own to manage each shift, guards who needed schedules and overtime arrangements and to be counted at the beginning and end of every shift.

I leaned all the way in without letting anyone touch me, with just showing I was capable-- I could read, I could type, I was able, I understood the job.
我一路倾身,不让任何人碰我,只是表明我有能力——我可以阅读,我可以打字,我有能力,我理解这份工作。
I made it all the way to supervisor.
我一路走到了主管那里。
Still, I'm still being harassed.
尽管如此,我仍然受到骚扰。
It just didn't work.
它只是不起作用。
It worked as far-- OK, now I've excelled in my career, but I'm still being harassed.
到目前为止,它一直有效——好吧,现在我在职业生涯中表现出色,但我仍然受到骚扰。
Now what?
现在怎么办?
Now what do we do?
现在我们该怎么办?
LaDonna settled on a new idea for how to fix it all at once.
拉唐娜想出了一个如何一次性解决所有问题的新想法。
She could see clearly how the male supervisors were treating the guards now that she was on the inside.
身在里面,她可以清楚地看到男主管是如何对待警卫的。
She could also suddenly see the female guards and how they were responding.
她也突然看到了那些女守卫的反应。
She was in the office every day with another male supervisor, and the women guards would show up in there.
她每天和另一个男主管一起在办公室,女警卫也会出现在那里。
They come in, they're bringing him lunch, shirt open, breasts out-- oh, hi.
他们进来了,给他送午餐,敞开衬衫,露出胸部——哦,嗨。
So some of them were benefiting, using it as a tool to get what they wanted out of it.
因此,他们中的一些人受益匪浅,利用它作为工具来获取他们想要的东西。
And watching them with the men supervisors, it was like, why are you doing that?
看着他们和男主管一起,我就想,你为什么要这么做?
But they're doing it for a good post, for overtime, for a better break.
但他们这样做是为了得到一个好职位,为了加班,为了更好的休息。
It's like, don't do that.
就像,不要这样做。
Just don't do it.
只是不要这样做。
If we all would say no, it would make it easier for all of us saying no. But you saying yes makes it harder for me saying no. Let's just say no, because we're at work.
如果我们都说“不”,那么我们所有人都会更容易说“不”。但你说“是”让我更难说“不”。我们就说不吧,因为我们正在工作。
Let's say no.
我们说不。
This was it.
就是这样。
When LaDonna heard Allied needed someone to train the new recruits, newly-hired guards, she immediately volunteered herself.
当拉唐娜听说盟军需要有人来训练新兵、新雇佣的警卫时,她立即自告奋勇。
These people are new.
这些人都是新人。
She could teach them.
她可以教他们。
This was her new idea.

She would change the entire culture of the place by starting at the beginning, when people were hired.

She would train them correctly.
她会正确地训练他们。
She could teach the women not to respond to sexual advances.
她可以教导女性不要对性挑逗做出反应。
She would teach them to focus on work, security.
她会教他们专注于工作和安全。
And all the new hires would take root in this place, like an invasive species.
而所有的新员工都会像入侵物种一样在这个地方生根发芽。
They would change the entire ecology.
他们将改变整个生态。
The supervisors would not respond to LaDonna telling them to change, so she'd change the world around them.
主管们不会回应拉唐娜告诉他们要改变的事情,所以她会改变他们周围的世界。

是的,在那里——如果他们那里还有两个女人,只是为了讲逻辑,比如,不——你知道,只是有人说,不,而不是,是的,伙计,那很好,兄弟,是的,这样做——可能会更好。

So LaDonna wasn't alone trying to push back.
所以拉唐娜并不是唯一一个试图反击的人。
Other women were fighting back too.
其他女性也在反击。
She had no idea.
她不知道。
They did come forward.
他们确实挺身而出。
The information was conveyed to a higher authority, to a court of law, and it did not make LaDonna or these women more secure.
这些信息被传达给了更高的权威机构、法庭,但这并没有让拉唐娜或这些女性更加安全。
It made them invisible.
这让他们隐形了。
LaDonna filed her lawsuit last October.
拉唐娜去年十月提起诉讼。
Soon after, three more people from Allied got in touch, asking to join her lawsuit.
不久之后,又有三名联合公司的人联系上她,要求加入她的诉讼。
And then, after that, there were two more workplace discrimination lawsuits filed against Allied at other New York sites-- the World Trade Center and LaGuardia Airport.
此后,在纽约的其他地点——世界贸易中心和拉瓜迪亚机场,又有两起针对联合航空的工作场所歧视诉讼。
LaDonna waited.
拉唐娜等待着。
Everyone has a boss.
每个人都有一个老板。
What else do you guys need to happen-- just what else, before you say, all right, let's get these guys out of here, they've went too far?
你们还需要做什么——在你们说之前,我们还需要做什么,好吧,让我们把这些家伙赶出去,他们已经太过分了?
OK, my name is Steve Jones, and I'm the CEO of Allied Universal.
好的,我叫史蒂夫·琼斯,是联合环球公司的首席执行官。
Steve Jones became CEO in 2016 when his security company, Universal Services of America, merged with AlliedBarton, becoming the largest security firm in North America.
2016 年,史蒂夫·琼斯 (Steve Jones) 出任首席执行官,当时他的安全公司 Universal Services of America 与 AlliedBarton 合并,成为北美最大的安全公司。
He told me LaDonna was fired because of her failure to comply with her supervisory duties.
他告诉我拉唐娜因为未能履行监督职责而被解雇。
He wouldn't say more about what duties but was clear it was not for speaking up about sexual harassment and racial discrimination.
他没有透露更多关于什么职责,但很明显这不是为了谈论性骚扰和种族歧视。
He said he only heard those complaints after LaDonna filed her lawsuit and there was a local news story about it.
他说,他是在拉唐娜提起诉讼后才听到这些投诉的,而且当地有一篇关于此事的新闻报道。
He adds, "This is despite Allied's many systems in place for employees to communicate concerns."
他补充道,“尽管 Allied 建立了许多系统供员工沟通疑虑,但情况仍然如此。”
There's literally a half a dozen avenues to where you could communicate to us, and then we would launch an immediate investigation.
实际上有六种途径可以与我们沟通,然后我们会立即展开调查。
Why didn't LaDonna Powell choose to take one of those avenues of communication and inform us of it?
为什么拉唐娜·鲍威尔不选择采取其中一种沟通方式并将其告知我们?
I don't know.
我不知道。
We're obviously--
我们显然——
So wait, you're saying she didn't-- you're saying that she did not report any of this behavior, verbally or in a written form to supervisors or HR?
等等,你是说她没有——你是说她没有以口头或书面形式向主管或人力资源部报告任何此类行为?
What I'm telling you, yeah, is the first time we were made aware of this was through the media.
是的,我告诉你的是,我们第一次意识到这一点是通过媒体。
There's lawsuits-- I mean, there's lawsuits going back to 2014.
有诉讼——我的意思是,有诉讼可以追溯到 2014 年。
There's three lawsuits that describe very similar behavior that LaDonna is describing in the-- there's two more in 2015.
有三起诉讼描述了与 LaDonna 所描述的非常相似的行为——2015 年还有两起诉讼。
There's formal complaints that I've seen written to HR that describe very similar behavior.
我见过写给人力资源部的正式投诉,其中描述了非常相似的行为。
There's calls to OSHA about being denied bathroom breaks.
有人打电话给职业安全与健康管理局(OSHA),询问他们上厕所的时间被拒绝。
There's an employee at Allied JFK who left a letter and distributed it publicly that described widespread sexual misconduct by supervisors.
联合肯尼迪机场的一名员工留下了一封信并公开分发,其中描述了主管普遍存在的不当性行为。
And not to mention, I've been talking to many, many staff at Allied who have heard about these things.
更不用说,我一直在与联盟的许多员工交谈,他们都听说过这些事情。
So it does not seem true that you were not made aware of some of the issues that LaDonna's raising.
因此,您似乎没有意识到拉唐娜提出的一些问题。
So what I would tell you is LaDonna Powell did not make us aware of her specific claims.
所以我要告诉你的是,拉唐娜·鲍威尔并没有让我们知道她的具体主张。
And what I would say is, with regards to any other claims, every claim that gets brought to our attention is investigated thoroughly and responded to.
我想说的是,对于任何其他索赔,引起我们注意的每一项索赔都经过彻底调查和回应。
And obviously, if it's a pending legal matter, I clearly can't comment on that.
显然,如果这是一个悬而未决的法律问题,我显然无法对此发表评论。
No, they were settled.
不,他们已经解决了。
There are lawsuits that were settled.
有一些诉讼已经解决。
And for the most part, it seems like the people who settled those lawsuits signed nondisclosure agreements, so they can't talk about it.
在大多数情况下,解决这些诉讼的人似乎签署了保密协议,所以他们不能谈论这件事。
OK.
好的。
That does not change the fact that we don't take all allegations of either harassment or discrimination very, very seriously, and then we investigate each and every one of them.
这并没有改变这样一个事实:我们并没有非常非常认真地对待所有骚扰或歧视的指控,然后我们对每一项指控进行调查。
One of the things that did not make sense to me was, if there are multiple complaints about certain employees, and Allied is having to pay out money in settlements over and over, why not just get rid of those managers?
对我来说没有意义的一件事是,如果对某些员工有多次投诉,而联合公司不得不一遍又一遍地支付和解金,为什么不干脆解雇这些经理呢?
Setting aside what's fair or what's right, it just seems like there'd be strong financial reasons to do that.
抛开公平或正确不谈,这样做似乎有充分的财务理由。
I asked him what he made of the fact that some of the same men were accused again and again.
我问他,对于同一个人中的一些人一次又一次受到指控,他有何感想。
We can't speculate that because someone has an allegation that that means those facts are correct.
我们不能因为有人提出指控就推测这些事实是正确的。
Again, our position--
再次重申我们的立场——
Of course, but it's repeated.
当然可以,但是重复了。
I mean, that's the difference, right?
我的意思是,这就是区别,对吗?
It's not a single allegation.
这不是一个单一的指控。
It's repeated allegations that are similar to one another against the same people.
这是对同一个人的多次类似指控。
And again, any time an allegation is made, we conduct a thorough investigation-- is that allegation true?
再说一遍,每当提出指控时,我们都会进行彻底调查——该指控属实吗?
Is there a portion of it that is true?
其中有一部分是真实的吗?
And what type of behavior was being done or wasn't being done?
正在采取或没有采取什么类型的行为?
We have to get to the facts.
我们必须了解事实。
Allied says that is what they're trying to do now.
联合公司表示,这就是他们现在正在尝试做的事情。
They told me that since the lawsuit was filed, JFK management and supervisors have received training on discrimination and harassment, and HR staff got specialized training on how to respond to such matters.
他们告诉我,自提起诉讼以来,肯尼迪的管理层和主管都接受了有关歧视和骚扰的培训,人力资源人员也接受了如何应对此类问题的专门培训。
They've launched their own investigation and an independent investigation into what happened.
他们已经对所发生的事情展开了自己的调查和独立调查。
Those investigations got started seven months ago-- which, to be clear, was four years after LaDonna says she first complained verbally and filed a written complaint against Kevin.
这些调查是在七个月前开始的——需要明确的是,这是在拉唐娜说她第一次对凯文提出口头投诉并提出书面投诉四年后。
Kevin and the four other men named in LaDonna's lawsuit denied all the allegations to us through their lawyers.
凯文和拉唐娜诉讼中提到的其他四名男子通过律师否认了向我们提出的所有指控。
I got an email response from the lawyer for Kevin McNamara and Chris Timberlake and the head boss at Allied JFK, Martin Feeney.
我收到了凯文·麦克纳马拉和克里斯·汀布莱克的律师以及联合肯尼迪公司的老板马丁·菲尼发来的电子邮件回复。
It said, "We're confident that once the facts of the case come to light, it will be clear that Mr. Feeney, Mr. Timberlake, and Mr. McNamara did nothing wrong.
它说:“我们相信,一旦案件事实真相大白,菲尼先生、汀布莱克先生和麦克纳马拉先生并没有做错任何事。
It is unfortunate that these individuals' professional reputations are being tarnished as this case is debated in the court of public opinion."
不幸的是,随着此案在公众舆论法庭上进行辩论,这些人的职业声誉正在受到损害。”
There is one other investigation to come out of this lawsuit.
该诉讼还有另一项调查。
The Port Authority, which runs New York's airports, says it is now reviewing LaDonna's allegations, and others, as well.
管理纽约机场的港务局表示,目前正在审查拉唐娜的指控以及其他指控。
A statement from the Port Authority says, they'll "take aggressive measures against Allied if they find those allegations to be true." And then, just recently, I started to hear rumors about some aggressive measures.
港务局的一份声明称,如果他们发现这些指控属实,他们将“对联合航空采取积极措施”。然后,就在最近,我开始听到有关一些激进措施的传言。
I started to hear that the entire leadership of Allied JFK was gone.
我开始听说肯尼迪盟军的整个领导层都消失了。
Oh, it's beautiful now.
哦,现在很漂亮。
Chana Joffe-Walt This is a guard who works at Allied currently.
Chana Joffe-Walt 这是目前在 Allied 工作的一名后卫。
She didn't want me to use her name.
她不想让我使用她的名字。
None of these workers did.
这些工人都没有这样做。
I didn't believe it at first, because I thought maybe it was just a rumor, but then my phone started blowing up, so I was like, oh, wow.
一开始我并不相信,因为我以为这可能只是一个谣言,但后来我的手机开始爆炸,所以我就想,哦,哇。
Wow.
哇。
Yeah, it's about time.
是啊,是时候了。
It's like, how can they get away with this, and why isn't someone doing something about it?
就像,他们怎么能逃脱惩罚,为什么没有人对此采取行动呢?
The Allied guards say management did not explain what happened to the supervisors, or even why something was done.
盟军警卫表示,管理层没有向主管解释发生了什么,甚至没有解释为什么要采取某些措施。
But they say they all know why it was done-- LaDonna.
但他们说他们都知道为什么这么做——拉唐娜。
I love it.
我喜欢它。
I thank her for moving all these no-good people out, who have so many records on accusing women and doing all that stuff.
我感谢她将所有这些坏人赶出去,他们有如此多的指控女性和做所有这些事情的记录。
I thank her.
我感谢她。
And for years, you've heard the people doing stuff.
多年来,你一直听到人们在做事。
And all of a sudden, bingo, finally something was getting taken care of.
突然间,宾果游戏,终于有事情得到解决了。
Yeah.
是的。
A lot of people I spoke with didn't want to share their opinions on the record at all.
与我交谈的很多人根本不想公开分享他们的观点。
And then there was this woman, who said she couldn't talk to me, but then stood next to her coworker yelling while I interviewed him.
还有一个女人,她说她不能和我说话,但当我采访她的同事时,她站在她旁边大喊大叫。
Yeah.
是的。
They said that women are tired of what's going on--
他们说女人厌倦了正在发生的事情——
Yeah, you get tired of it.
是的,你厌倦了。
Male Guard It's true.
男守卫 确实如此。
It's like, you know--
就像,你知道——
After a while, [INAUDIBLE].
过了一会儿,[听不清]。
Male Guard Yeah, enough is enough.
男守卫 是啊,够了。
And--
还有——
Yeah.
是的。
As you said, it's always been a big issue.
正如你所说,这一直是一个大问题。
Women are speaking out now.
女性现在正在大声疾呼。
Male Guard Yeah.
男守卫 嗯。
Yeah.
是的。
Allied told me three people were fired.
联盟告诉我,三人被解雇了。
They wouldn't tell me who.
他们不肯告诉我是谁。
As far as I can tell, Kevin McNamara and Chris Timberlake were not fired.
据我所知,凯文·麦克纳马拉和克里斯·汀布莱克没有被解雇。
They, along with most of the leadership from Allied JFK, were reassigned-- meaning they still work for Allied but not at JFK.
他们与盟军肯尼迪机场的大部分领导层一起被重新分配,这意味着他们仍然为盟军工作,但不在肯尼迪机场工作。
I asked Allied CEO Steve Jones why many of the supervisors were reassigned.
我问联合公司首席执行官史蒂夫·琼斯为什么许多主管被重新分配。
So, we reassign employees all the time, whether it's promotion opportunities or new different challenges or--
因此,我们一直在重新分配员工,无论是晋升机会还是新的不同挑战,或者——
Right.
对。
But are they being moved because they were at fault of some form of harassment or discrimination?
但他们被调动是否是因为他们犯了某种形式的骚扰或歧视的错误?
No. So, I would say-- are some of the allegations found to be true?
不。所以,我想说——一些指控是否属实?
I would say no.
我会说不。
Well, again, we reassign people-- we reassign people all the time.
好吧,我们再次重新分配人员——我们一直在重新分配人员。
It's just not an answer.
这只是不是一个答案。
Somebody just say it.
有人就说吧。
We hired these guys.
我们雇用了这些人。
They're animals.
他们是动物。
We fucked up.
我们搞砸了。
We must stop.
我们必须停下来。
As a company, we frown upon this, and we're making changes.
作为一家公司,我们对此不以为然,并且正在做出改变。
What's so hard to say that?
这有什么难说的?
It occurred to me at some point that I've asked LaDonna the same question almost every time I've talked with her, did that make you feel powerful?
我突然想到,几乎每次与拉唐娜交谈时,我都会问她同样的问题,这是否让你感觉自己很强大?
I've asked her this about so many different things.
我问过她很多不同的事情。
Did that make you feel powerful when you made it to supervisor, when you were training all those people, when a fancy Manhattan law firm filed a lawsuit on your behalf, when the CEO of the company was responding directly to your complaints?
当你成为主管时,当你培训所有这些人时,当曼哈顿一家高档律师事务所代表你提起诉讼时,当公司首席执行官直接回应你的投诉时,这是否让你感到强大?
No. LaDonna's answer was always no. It did not make her feel powerful.
不,拉唐娜的回答始终是否定的。这并没有让她感到强大。
It was the same when the leadership of Allied JFK was removed.
当盟军肯尼迪领导层被撤职时也是如此。
LaDonna heard that news, especially the part about the men from Allied being reassigned, and she was not thinking about her power.
拉唐娜听到这个消息,尤其是关于盟军人员被重新分配的部分,她并没有想到自己的权力。
She was thinking about theirs.
她在想他们的事。
She was imagining Kevin arriving at his new job, putting on his same Allied uniform every day.
她想象着凯文到达他的新工作岗位,每天都穿着同样的盟军制服。
That you can continue to walk around, just doing whatever you want to whomever you want, however, and nobody can touch you, it's almost like you're the boogeyman.
你可以继续四处走动,对任何你想要的人做任何你想做的事,然而,没有人能碰你,这几乎就像你是妖怪一样。
You're untouchable.
你是不可触碰的。
What LaDonna could now see was that he was protected, thoroughly, and she was not.
拉唐娜现在看到的是,他受到了彻底的保护,而她却没有。
She was alone.
她独自一人。
What LaDonna believed from all those self-help books is you have the power.
拉唐娜从所有这些自助书籍中相信,你有力量。
There may be barriers, but if you act right, set your mind right, if you're strategic and ingenious, you can thwart their efforts to take your power away.
可能会有障碍,但如果你行动得当,头脑正确,如果你有战略眼光和独创性,你就可以阻止他们夺走你权力的努力。
This news made her feel like, not really, because, yeah, everybody has a boss, but it was not just Kevin.
这个消息让她感觉,不是真的,因为,是的,每个人都有老板,但不仅仅是凯文。
It was not just the supervisors.
不仅仅是监管者。
It was also the project manager and the HR manager and the legal department at Allied Universal that paid women and the law that allows them to do that.
Allied Universal 的项目经理、人力资源经理和法律部门也向女性支付了工资,法律也允许她们这样做。
It was a system designed to withstand her refusal to comply, to absorb her whole onslaught, all her strategic thought, passionately executed, carefully taught.
这是一个旨在抵御她拒绝服从的系统,吸收她的全部攻击,吸收她所有的战略思想,热情地执行,精心教导。
It just ate it up and kept doing its thing.
它只是把它吃掉并继续做它的事情。
And now that LaDonna has seen all of that, she's not sure how to see herself.
现在拉唐娜已经看到了这一切,她不知道如何看待自己。
I just-- I keep having these moments, like, it still leaves this lasting feeling that I was so vulnerable to these people, and they damaged me.
我只是——我一直有这样的时刻,就像,它仍然留下了这种持久的感觉,我对这些人是如此脆弱,他们伤害了我。
That damage is not visible, except to her.
除了她之外,这种伤害是不可见的。
LaDonna still works at the airport.
拉唐娜仍然在机场工作。
She works for the government now, for Customs and Border Protection.
她现在为政府海关和边境保护局工作。
She's making more money, and it's a more prestigious job.
她赚了更多的钱,而且这是一份更有声望的工作。
LaDonna walks Terminal Four, her torso doubled in size by her bulletproof vest, head high, scanning the area like someone who owns the place.
拉唐娜走在四号航站楼,她的躯干被防弹背心放大了一倍,她昂着头,扫视着周围的区域,就像这里的主人一样。
A couple months back, she was at work--
几个月前,她在工作——
And I'm walking.
我正在走路。
I have a M4 in my hand, my vest, pistol on my side.
我手里有一把M4,我的背心,我身边有手枪。
I'm walking, and I'm doing an escort.
我在步行,我在护送。
It's, like, five of us, and we're escorting someone.
我们大概有五个人,我们正在护送某人。
He's a diplomat.

It's a regular day.
这是平常的一天。
And so we're escorting him.
所以我们护送他。
And we're walking, and everything's fine.
我们正在步行,一切都很好。
And then I see one of the men.
然后我看到了其中一名男子。
One of the men from Allied, a supervisor named Osvaldo Ortiz, the guy LaDonna says let the guard bleed on herself instead of giving her a bathroom break.
盟军的一名主管名叫奥斯瓦尔多·奥尔蒂斯,拉唐娜说这个人让警卫流血在自己身上,而不是给她上厕所的机会。
He was coming into Terminal Four to get a coffee from Dunkin' Donuts.
他正要去四号航站楼去唐恩都乐 (Dunkin' Donuts) 买一杯咖啡。
And then I just-- literally, I'm walking, and I'm fine.
然后我就——从字面上看,我正在走路,我很好。
I'm talking, duh-duh, we're laughing, very militant, walking.
我在说话,呵呵,我们在笑,非常好战,在走路。
And I'm fine.
我很好。
I got my gun.
我拿到了枪。
I'm holding it like this.
我就这样抱着
And I turn, and I get a sign of him.
我转过身,看到了他的身影。
And then he sees me.
然后他看到了我。
And then I just turned my whole body, shifted to the left, and I ducked down.
然后我就转动整个身体,向左移动,然后我就蹲了下来。
LaDonna ducked as she was telling this to me.
拉唐娜向我讲述这件事时低下了头。
This is a man who, at this point in time, has no official power over her.
这是一个目前对她没有正式权力的男人。
She doesn't work for him.
她不为他工作。
She's not financially dependent on him.
她在经济上并不依赖他。
Literally, I am-- I felt afraid.
从字面上看,我——我感到害怕。
It's like, I'm nervous.
就好像,我很紧张。
Like, I started sweating and everything.
就像,我开始出汗等等。
It's like, why am I scared of this guy?
就像,为什么我害怕这个家伙?
It doesn't make sense to me.
这对我来说没有意义。
Regardless of me being, oh, badass Customs Agent with a gun, still the sight of him makes me cringe.
尽管我是,哦,持枪的坏蛋海关人员,但看到他仍然让我感到畏缩。
Exactly.
确切地。
Chana Joffe-Walt Who's here for important business.
Chana Joffe-Walt 她来这里是为了处理重要的事情。
Yes.
是的。
Chana Joffe-Walt Who needs your protection because you are able to provide protection.
Chana Joffe-Walt 谁需要您的保护,因为您有能力提供保护。
Protection.
保护。
Right, right.
对,对。
And then I feel like I couldn't protect myself in that moment, yes.
然后我觉得那一刻我无法保护自己,是的。
And you have a gun.
而且你有枪。
LaDonna Powell And I have a gun.
拉唐娜·鲍威尔 我有一把枪。
It's kind of horrible.
这有点可怕。
Yeah.
是的。
And that guy has a Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
那家伙有一杯唐恩都乐咖啡。
Coffee And I still feel, yeah, at his mercy.
咖啡 我仍然觉得,是的,任由他摆布。
So power?
这么给力?
No. I feel like I am caged because of them.
不,我觉得我因为他们而被关在笼子里。
The cage is invisible, of course-- or it was until recently, just like the NDAs, and the reassignments, and everything else LaDonna can now see.
当然,笼子是看不见的——或者直到最近才出现,就像保密协议、重新分配以及拉唐娜现在能看到的其他一切一样。
She's still trying to map the contours of this cage, its full size and shape.
她仍在尝试绘制这个笼子的轮廓、它的完整尺寸和形状。
It's hard.
这很难。
It's not written down anywhere or clearly marked.
它没有写在任何地方或明确标记。
And that's what makes it scary.
这就是它让人害怕的原因。
LaDonna needs to know exactly what she's dealing with.
