丁靜怡受郭董感動 代他發聲做公益
　前主播蕭裔芬兩年前請辭鴻海永齡基金會發言人，外界好奇她為何放棄絢麗的主播台、令人稱羡的首富郭台銘公司工作？目前在人間衛視主持《生活大不同》的她說：「我承認我是職場敗犬，鴻海是一流的企業，郭台銘是一流的老闆，但不是我玩的局。」

　不快樂 螢幕前太虛假

　她說，一直活在別人的價值裡，「但人生是我自己的，我不要很多錢，我要的是開心，別人眼中的好工作，不見得適合我。」從事新聞工作15年，當主播對她來說太容易，播到最後完全無法成長，「主播台下鬥來鬥去，我不快樂、不開心，最後算是鬥輸了，所以我請辭。」

　她說，主播的光環，全是靠別人搭起來的，「那台子很虛假，都是自我膨脹，以為自己無所不能。」離開後，她自己造橋鋪路，面對不順利和挫折，萬萬沒想到，後來跳到另一個鬥爭更厲害的地方。

　大頭症 見識人外有人

　鴻海付她的薪水是她當主播的兩倍，估算月薪至少40萬。「待遇真的很好，對我卻是震撼教育！」她說，主播有大頭症，很驕傲，但人外有人，天外有天，「在『裡面』我見識到『大』是人家的、『小』是自己的，這個企業文化不適合我，我的專長也無從發揮，裡面的人真的很棒，是我不適合，是我沒本事。」

　揹貸款 買房侍奉父母

　當時她父親心肺衰竭住院，但她每天仍趕著上班加班，「我忽然體會，時間全部給我老闆，如果我明天就死掉，我給家人什麼？我每天幫老闆寫這麼多公文，卻沒有好好寫一封信給家人。」

　這兩年，她細心照顧家人，買房子讓爸媽住得舒服，「別人看來我一事無成，卻是我最開心的兩年，我有兩千萬貸款，不是不缺錢，但錢夠用就好，現在工作條件要開心，能幫助別人成長，還要兼顧我和家人的愛。」

　也是主播出身的丁靜怡，現任鴻海公關室主任。蕭裔芬說：「我恭喜她，也樂觀其成。我自己做不好，沒必要嫉妒別人，也許她可以做得很好。」
