Task 1: Katherine Sanchez lived for her job. By the time she was 32, Sanchez, who had not gone to college, had worked her way up from receptionist to office manager of the Oakland branch of a national elevator service company. She wrote reports, planned meetings, supervised the secretaries, and was happy to work late when her boss needed her. Sanchez was, in short, the ideal employee, according to those who know her: a competent worker who gave herself all to the job. But when her boss suddenly took her title away - and with it some of her responsibilities, Sanchez went into an emotional loss. She felt betrayed by people she had once called friends. "I couldn't stop crying on the way to work; I felt they had stripped me of my dignity," recalls Sanchez, who finally left her job a year later and was out of work for three years. "For nine months, I didn't go out of the house." Sanchez's breakdown may be an extreme example. But in this era of competition, as more men and women feel compelled to work longer and longer hours, psychologists and workplace consultants say her experience is part of a growing phenomenon: a culture of highly competent worker bees who derive(取得) almost all their emotional support from the relationships they build at the workplace and are devastated(毁坏) when the community doesn't live up to their expectations.
