15、ithout seeing his daughter with her eyes open. A soft-spoken tax accountant in Deloittes downtown Chicago office, he hated saying no when she asked for a ride to preschool. By November, hed had enough. “I realized that I can have control of this,” he says with a small shrug. Keehn, 33, met with two

16、of the firms partners and his senior manager, telling them he needed a change. They went for it. In January, Keehn started telecommuting four days a week, and when Kathryn, 4, starts T-ball this summer, he will be sitting along the baseline.In this economy, Keehns move might sound like hopping onto

17、the mommy trackor off the career track. But hes actually making a shrewd move. More and more, companies are searching for creative ways to saveby experimenting with reduced hours or unpaid furloughs or asking employees to move laterally. The up-or-out model, in which employees have to keep getting p

18、romoted quickly or get lost, may be growing outmoded. The changing expectations could persist after the economy reheats. Companies are increasingly supporting more natural growth, letting employees wend their way upward like climbing vines. Its a shift, in other words, from a corporate ladder to the

19、 career-path metaphor long preferred by Deloitte vice chair Cathy Benko: a lattice.At Deloitte, each employees lattice is nailed together during twice-a-year evaluations focused not just on career targets but also on larger life goals. An employee can request to do more or less travel or client serv

20、ice, say, or to move laterally into a new rolechanges that may or may not come with a pay cut. Deloittes data from 2008 suggest that about 10% of employees choose to “dial up” or “dial down” at any given time. Deloittes Mass Career Customization (MCC) program began as a way to keep talented women in

21、 the workforce, but it has quickly become clear that women are not the only ones seeking flexibility. Responding to millennials demanding better work-life balance, young parents needing time to share child-care duties and boomers looking to ease gradually toward retirement, Deloitte is scheduled to

22、roll out MCC to all 42,000 U.S. employees by May 2010. Deloitte executives are in talks with more than 80 companies working on similar programs.Not everyone is on board. A 33-year-old Deloitte senior manager in a southeastern office, who works half-days on Mondays and Fridays for health reasons and

23、requested anonymity because she was not authorized to speak on the record, says one “old school” manager insisted on scheduling meetings when she wouldnt be in the office. “He was like, Yeah, I know we have the program, “she recalls, “but I dont really care.”Deloitte CEO Barry Salzberg admits hes st

24、ill struggling to convert “nonbelievers,” but says they are the exceptions. The recession provides an incentive for companies to design more lattice-oriented careers. Studies show telecommuting, for instance, can help businesses cut real estate costs 20% and payroll 10%. Whats more, creating a flexi

25、ble workforce to meet staffing needs in a changing economy ensures that a company will still have legs when the market recovers. Redeploying some workers from one division to anotheror reducing their salariesis a whole lot less expensive than laying everyone off and starting from scratch.Young emplo

26、yees who dial down now and later become managers may reinforce the idea that moving sideways on the lattice doesnt mean getting sidelined. “When I saw other people doing it,” says Keehn, “I thought I could try.” As the compelling financial incentives for flexibility grow clearer, more firms will be

27、forced to give employees that chance. Turns out all Keehn had to do was ask.1. The author used the example of Chris Keehn _.(A) to show how much he loved his daughter and the family(B) to tell how busy he was working as a tax accountant(C) to introduce how telecommuting changed the traditional way o

28、f working(D) to explore how the partners of a company could negotiate and cooperate smoothly2. What is the major purpose of shifting from a corporate ladder to the career path of lattice?(A) To take both career targets and larger life goals of employees into consideration.(B) To find better ways to

29、develop ones career in response to economic crisis.(C) To establish expectations which could persist after the economy reheats.(D) To create ways to keep both talented women and men in the workforce.3. The expression “on board” in the sentence “Not everyone is on board.” (para. 4) means _.(A) going

30、to insist on old schedules(B) concerned about work-life balance(C) ready to accept the flexible working system(D) accustomed to the changing working arrangement4. Which of the following is NOT the possible benefit of lattice-oriented careers for businesses?(A) reducing the costs on real estate.(B) c

31、utting the salaries of employees.(C) forming a flexible workforce to meet needs in a changing economy.(D) keeping a workforce at the minimal level.5. According to the passage, the idea that “moving sideways on the lattice doesnt mean getting sidelined”_.(A) would discourage employees from choosing t

32、elecommuting(B) might encourage more employees to apply for flexible work hours(C) would give employees more chances for their professional promotion(D) could provide young employees with more financial incentivesQuestions 6-10Right now, theres little that makes a typical American taxpayer more resentful than the h
