I think we might be able to help you.
Here's my business card should you want to call.
So, some good work by Anna but there's more networking to be done. A conference is a good place for networking and for catching up with your boss, too. Let's find out how Paul is getting on with Mr Socrates.
It's a tough economic climate Paul. We're already cutting out cookies in management meetings.
Oh, gosh.
And now we're cutting staff. We've already lost Rachel, my favourite Sales Executive.
Ah yes, well, she was stealing the pens.
Pens can be replaced but not people like her.
Well.
But now it's time to reduce your team Paul, share the pain.
Are you sure?
Absolutely. By my calculations you need to be rid of one member of staff.
Oh, well let's not tell the team until we've had the awards ceremony.
Okay Paul. But it's in your hands to sort this out.
Crumbs.
Ah yes, Tip Top Trading could be about to win a prestigious award but how will this bad news go down with the team? And what is Paul going to do? Find out next time on English at Work.我想我们能帮助你。
这时我的卡片，如果你有什么需要，可以随时打电话给我。
所以，Anna在有些方面做得很好，但需要做更多的人际网络联系。像展览会是人际交往和和你老板沟通交流的好地方，让我们来看看Paul是怎么和Mr Socrates相处的。
现在是棘手的经济环境Paul，我们已经没有了Rachel，我最爱的销售经理。
是的，她偷了钢笔。
钢笔能替代，但人们并不喜欢她。
嗯。
但现在要简化你的队伍，Paul，一起面对这次的问题。
你确定吗？
非常确定，根据我的计算，你需要解雇一个同事走。
直到颁奖典礼结束，我们不要告诉队伍。
好的，Paul，但你必须要把这件事解决了。
我的天啊。
天啊，Tip Top Trading将会获得有威望的奖项，可是这个坏消息对队伍有什么影响呢？Paul将会怎么做呢？下期的《白领英语》我们一起来看吧。
