“他算什么?” 是什么意思?
In a conversation between some colleagues and a manager who has found out a new manager has been assigned to his department. The colleagues say “他算什么?” about the new boss. What does this mean, and how would you personally translate it? I get the feeling its derogatory, but just how derogatory?
D: '大家早,我有事说一下。下周有个新同事要来,负责管理。
B: 那老王,你呢?
D: 我还是总经理。他有文凭,但是没有经验。大家都清楚哪个更重要吧。
C: 老王,我们支持你。
A: 是啊,他算什么?
D: 唉,不要这么说。还是要支持他的工作。
