I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Company . Among the 36
we discuss in our classes is the 37 of quality employees (雇员).
“What has caused you to stay 38 enough to become a manager ?” I asked . After a while a new manager took the 39 and said slowly , “It was a baseball glove .”
Cynthia said she used to 40 a Circle K clerk job as an interim(临时的)one while she looked for something 41 . On her second day behind the counter , she received a (an ) 42 from her nine-year-old son , Jessie . He 43 a baseball glove for the little League . She 44 that as a single mother , money was 45 , and her first check would have to go for paying 46 .
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning , Partircia , the store manager asked her to come to her small office and handed her a box . “I overheard you 47 to your son yesterday ,” she said , “and I know that it is 48 to explain things to kids . This is a baseball glove for Jessie . I know you have to pay bills 49 you can buy gloves . You know we can’t 50 good people like you as 51 as we would like to ; but we do 52 and I want you to know how 53 you are to us .”
Cynthia’s story shows vividly that people 54 more how much a (n) 55 cares than how much he pays .
