career veneer 职业虚景

Career veneer¹ refers to the thin layer of potential for career advancement², increase in pay and future opportunities that an employer paints on your job to convince you that the future holds something more than you are currently experiencing.

“职业虚景”指的是老板为你的工作描绘出的那一层薄薄的发展前景，可能会包括职业升迁、薪水增长以及更多发展机会等，这样描绘的目的是为了让你相信未来会比现在更好。

 

For example:

 

I had my first year appraisal³ at the McDonalds today. They painted a bit of a career veneer over the last year.

我今天刚拿到在麦当劳的第一个年度考评。他们去年就在向我描绘一些职业虚景。
