Workplace U-turn rers to the action of bouncing back to a former employer after quitting.

　　职场回头草指辞职后又回到原单位的行为。

　　While it may seem inconceivable, it is possible to make the dreaded employment U-turn.

　　职场上吃回头草是人们避之唯恐不及的事情，可能显得不可理喻，但它还是可行的。

　　U-turns happen most often among people in design, tech, media agencies and consulting firms, says Tim McIntyre, chi executive of the Executive Search Group, of South Glastonbury, Conn. Some job-changers say they boomerang back because they miss a workplace culture or a respected boss. Others quit to join an entrepreneurial venture, then return after the opportunity fizzles.

　　康涅狄格州南格拉斯顿伯里高管猎头集团的首席执行长蒂姆·麦金太尔表示，吃回头草的现象在设计、科技、传媒和咨询公司里面最为常见。有些换工作的人说，之所以回来，是因为他们想念某种工作氛围或某个受尊重的老板。另一些人辞职加入某个初创企业，机会消失之后又回来了。

　　U-turn的意思是“掉头”，这个词和workplace(工作场所)或employment(人事任用)相结合就是职场回头草的意思，非常形象。

　　"The new normal is that movement from job to job is tolerated" in many fields, says Bob Damon, president of the Americas for Korn/Ferry International, a Los Angeles-based executive-search and leadership-consulting firm. With companies rushing to adapt to changing markets, it is increasingly easy to make mistakes matching people to jobs, he says. And a shortage of skilled workers in many fields makes more companies "perfectly willing to take back good employees."

　　杉矶高管猎头兼领导力咨询公司光辉国际美洲区总裁鲍勃·戴蒙称，在很多领域中，“容忍跳槽已经成为新常态”。他表示，企业都在争先恐后地适应风云变幻的市场，人员与岗位的搭配越来越容易出错。而很多领域缺乏熟练程度高的员工，使越来越多的企业“巴不得让好员工回来”。

　　Returning employees usually end up appreciating their jobs more. And their careers can emerge unscathed, if they give sound reasons for flip-flopping - and stay put for a while in their second stint.

　　而回到原单位的员工往往会更珍视自己的工作。另外，如果能说出让人信服的变卦理由，并且在回去之后继续工作一段时间不跳槽，他们的职业发展也可以不受影响。
