4 hrs confidence:
low-profile position Explanation: Kızağa alınmak aslında açığa alınmakla aynı şey bana göre. Ama belli ki bu örnekte tam açığa alınamamış, onun yerine ortalığı ayağa kaldırmamak için gözden uzaklaştırmışlar. "Maintaining a low-profile" deyiminden esinlenerek böyle kullanılabilir. |

peer agreement (net): +1to be sidelined Explanation: 'Sideline' is of course a verb, but if you look at the way it is used in the example below you will see that it is used to express a very similar meaning to 'kızak göreve alınmak'. http://www.workingmums.co.uk/advice-and-support/all/1205966/... "Sidelined by new manager: Ask the expert You returned to work four weeks ago after taking maternity leave. Whilst you were off there were changes to your position and you were allocated a new manager. You wished to retain the same position but work four days a week on your return. Your employers informed you that this was possible. When you returned to work you discovered that your new manager was leaving and you were being demoted because you could only work four days a week. You complained to the new head of department who informed you that the company would come up with a new job description. You have still not heard from them. During this time you have been given basic tasks and left to work alone." |
