A Pay Rise or Not?
  "Unless I get a rise,I'll have a talk with the boss,Henry Manley," George Strong said to himself.George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in,but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family.That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city,about 50 miles away.He had been offered a job in a factory there,and the pay was far better.
  George lived in Wyeford,a medium-sized town.He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else,but if he took the job in Birmingham,he would have to move his family there.
  Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The company was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices.As a result,Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well.Otherwise he would not get any orders at all.Even then,orders were still not coming in fast enough,so that there was no money for raises for his workers Somehow,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.
  His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer.The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him Manley rubbed his forehead ; his problems seemed endless.
加薪与否
“除非我加薪,否则我要和老板Henry Manley谈谈”.George Strong这样对自己说.George喜欢他的工作,也喜欢他所居住的小镇,但他的妻子老是对他说他的薪水不够满足家用.这就是他为什么想在伯明翰这座附近50英里远的城市找份工作.那儿的工厂已提供他一份工作,薪水也远比之前好.
George住在Wyeford(地名音译吧),这是一座中等大小的小镇.他真的很喜欢这里,并不想搬到其他地方,但是,如果他接受伯明翰的工作,他就不得不举家搬迁到那里.
Henry Manley是一家小公司的经理,这家公司主要生产电动机.这家公司面临巨大的麻烦,因为除了其他原因,日本人以很低的价格出售类似产品.这就导致他不得不也降价,利润也减少了,否则的话他将接受不到订单.即使这样做了,订单来的还是不够快.因此,他没有钱替他的工人们加薪,他只能独自挣扎并留下他最好的员工.他叹了口气.正在此时,电话响了.
他的秘书告诉他说George Strong想要尽快见他一面.Manley 再次叹了口气.他能猜到相关事宜.George Strong是个非常年轻的工程师.公司只有吸引并留住这样的人才有未来.Manley揉了揉额头,他的问题似乎无穷无尽.
