Subject:Re:Sticky situation at work

Dear Gabby,

Gosh, it sounds like a horrible mess you're in with your co-worker who is stealing from the company. I am so sorry that you have found yourself in this position, no one wants to be a tattletale.But you really need to consider your own welfare rather than the complications this situation could cause for him.If you don't report your colleague to management, you could be considered guilty too!I know you don't want to rock the boat in your new job, but you've got to do what your conscience tells you is the right thing to do.

I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.

Mary Elizabeth

主题:回复:工作中的困境

亲爱的盖比:

真糟糕!听上去你和那个偷窃公司财物的同事间的关系现在非常麻烦!听到你现在处于这样的困境,我感到很抱歉,谁都不愿意去做打小报告的人。不过你现在应该考虑的是你自己的安全,而非这会使他陷入什么境地。如果不把他的事情向领导报告,那么你也会被视作有罪的。我知道你来这个公司不久,不想惹是非,不过你总得对得起良心,做正确的事。

希望你一切都好!

玛丽·伊丽莎白

Subject:Take a vacation already!

Dear Carmen,

I got your e-mail and I am so sorry to hear about your crazy stress levels at work and at home. I had no idea that you were thinking about separating from your husband.All the overtime you put in at work doesn't help things on that front, I'm sure.What I suggest is to put work aside for a while and focus on your family relationships.There is no success that can compensate for failure with your family.Take a vacation with your hubby, get away and recommit to what is most important in your life.

I wish you luck!

主题:已经休假了!

亲爱的卡门:

我收到你的邮件了,很抱歉听到你在工作中和家庭中承受了那么多压力。我没想到你在考虑要和你的丈夫分开。你在工作中加班加点并不能让你的家庭关系有任何改善,这一点我是确定的。我的建议是暂时把工作放在一边,集中处理一下你的家庭关系。没有什么成功能够弥补家庭生活的失败。和你丈夫去度个假吧,重新投入到你生命中最重要的部分吧。

祝你好运!

露西
