Read the paragraph 4 to 5. in the paragraph 4. There is a sentence “how it fits into the corporate strategy”. But what does the “how it fits” mean? At the front of it, the author says: “they want to know that their work is important”, so behind the word “and”, of course the author want to say they want to know something. And read the whole paragraph, you will know the author means that today’s workers want to be a valued part of the whole. And in this sentence, just “how it fits into” difficult for me. First we must solve what does the word “it” mean? According to the front sentence, I know the author use the word “it” instead of the words “workers’ job”. Now, I know a little meaning of this sentence. I guessed the author want to say the workers want to know their job at what status in corporate strategy.
And the paragraph 5, it’s a little longer than paragraph 4. And this paragraph almost talks about the Compaq. And talk about how the Compaq to handle its workers. But there is one sentence is the most difficult for me to understand. It is “in many companies an atmosphere of constant push would inspire people to seek employment with less pressure somewhere else.” There are too many new words, so I can’t understand. After I look over the dictionary, I know. But what does the word “push” mean? Read behind sentence, maybe it means big pressure.
