Jabber's English Note--A mixed feeling

jabber(jabber)
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.

      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......

      • 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. -totooo(lazy girl); 2003-10-6 (#1401802@0)
        • we should respect his opinions. -celestial_rita(Divine Swordmaiden); 2003-10-7 (#1402873@0)
