25、The following appeared as part of a
memo1 from the president of
Automate2, a company that manufactures
automobiles3.
"It has come to my attention that Sparks, Inc., the manufacturing company that just moved into our state, is
advertising4 job openings at salaries that are twice as high as those paid to our experienced assembly-line workers. Some of our employees have already left to work for Sparks. In order to keep our best staff, we must pay them salaries equal to those Sparks pays its employees. Otherwise we will continue to lose employees in the future, because Sparks must staff the additional new plants that it plans to build in the state."
