Ex. 7. Translate the following text into Russian in written form.
People working for a company are referred as its workforce, employees, staff, or personnel and are on its payroll.
In some context, especially more conservative ones, employees and workforce refer to those working on the shop floor of a factory actually making things. Similarly, staff is sometimes used to refer only to managers and office-based workers. This traditional division is also found in the expressions white-collar and blue-collar.
Another traditional division is that between management and labor.
Personnel departments are usually involved in finding new staff and recruiting them, hiring them, or taking them on, in a process of recruitment. Someone recruited is a recruit, or in American English only, a hire.
They are also involved when people are made to leave the organization, or fired. These responsibilities are referred to, relatively informally, as hiring and firing. If you leave the job voluntarily, you quit.
Middle-managers are now most often mentioned in the context of re-engineering, delaying, downsizing, or rightsizing: all these expressions describe the recent trend for companies to reduce the numbers of people they employ, often by getting rid of layers of managers from the middle of hierarchy.
And organization that has undergone this process is lean and its hierarchy is flat.
