The survey by Ashridge Management Centre says the wave of insecurity that affected managers during the early 1990s was an unpleasant experience for many, but it has taught them to be more self- centered and independent about their careers. The backlash for companies, according to Laurence Handy, Ashridge's director of research, is that many managers are now more likely to look elsewhere to further their careers if their current employer is not meeting their expectations.

Taking away the need to lieIn the bad old days, working mothers had to learn to lie. Returning to work after having a baby, they had to prove that nothing had changed. On those black days when the child was ill or the childminder did not turn up, it was better to pretend to be sick themselves than to admit to any problem at home. Some people still live like this. But most companies now recognise that employees may have families. They know, in theory at least, that the old way meant their workers were unhappy, stressed out and likely to leave. Yet despite the new family-friendly policies, most should alert your boss to the idea companies are still getting it wrong.

When problems arise you should give your employer an idea of how long it is going to take to sort them out, and maybe take some of the time off as holiday. You should suggest a way around the particular crisis that will allow you both to be at home and get some work done at the same time. When you come back you should try extra hard, and then point out to your employer now being flexible has allowed you to deal with the crisis at home, without your work suffering. Choose the correct alternative according to the passage.5. If you suggest a way round a problem, you_________
