Employee Suggestion for Company Meeting

TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:

Dear

There is such a high degree of anxiety about the proposed
merger with (name of firm) that I can see the effects in my
department daily. I do not feel that the newsletter put out
last week helped assuage the fears of the other employees.
* a high degree of ~ = 고도의 ~/ anxiety = 불안(감), 염려
* effect = 영향, 결과, 효과; 느낌[인상]/ put out = 출간[발행]하다
* assuage = (안 좋은 감정을) 누그러뜨리다[달래다]

I believe that it might be beneficial to meet the issue head-on
by holding a meeting wherein questions can be put forth and
answers can be provided.
* beneficial (to ~) = (~에) 유익한, 이로운
* meet head on = 정면으로 대처하다/ wherein = 거기에(서)
* put forth = 제안, 제출하다

There is a schism between employees and management that
appears to be growing and presents a potential problem.
If, for example, this merger fails to materialize, the employees
may maintain their current feelings of alienation to the detriment of
the organization.
* schism = 분립/ potential = 잠재적인, 가능성이 있는
* materialize = 구체화되다[실현되다]/ alienation = 멀리함, 소외, 이간
* to the detriment of ~ = (결국) ~을 해치며

I know that there are many inherent problems in hashing this
subject out in an open forum and these must be weighed against
the present alternative. I do feel, however, that the suggestion is worth
some consideration.
* hash ~ out = ~을 계속 논의하여 끝을 보다[결론을 내다]
* weigh against = ~을 비교 검토화다/ alternative = 대안, 선택 가능한 것
