英語四級作文字:傑西的手套(Jessie’s Glove)

i do a lot of management training each year for the circle k corporation, a national chain of convenience stores([美]高質高價的自助食品商店). among the topics we address in our seminars is the retention (保持力)of quality employees -- a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale (薪工標準)in the service industry. during these discussions, i ask the participants, "what has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?" some time back a new manager took the question and slowly, with her voice almost breaking, said, "it was a $19 baseball glove."

cynthia told the group that she originally took a circle k clerk job as an interim (臨時的,過渡時期,暫定)position while she looked for something better. on her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, jessie. he needed a baseball glove for little league. she eplained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third cynthia arrived for work the net morning, patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in back of the store that served as an office. cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. she was concerned and confused.

patricia handed her a bo. "i overheard you talking to your son yesterday," she said, "and i know that it is hard to eplain things to kids. this is a baseball glove for jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. you know we cant pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care, and i want you to know you are important to us."

the thoughtfulness, empathy and love of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays. an important lesson for the price of a little league baseball glove.
