Tim needs to join his senior staffs' gathering to where he feels reluntant. The reasons are :
1. he doesn't want to be isolated
2. he wants to get a higher chance for promotion
************************************************************

a) Can I rephrase to :

Tim needs to join his senior staffs' gathering because he wants to blend into their society and polish their shoes to get promotion.

B) Are the above questions correct in grammar?


Thank you.
 
Tim needs to join his senior staffs' gathering to where he feels reluntant.

The original sentence does not make sense. "Reluntant" is not a word.
 
Your title has nothing at all to do with your question.
 
I'd use something like lick their boots.

Dear Tdol,

1. I try to make the sentence as follow by using lick their boots.

To get a better chance for promotion, he does all possible ways to blend in to the senior's society and even lick their boots.

2. I want to make a sentence by using blend in. Is the above sentence correct?

Thank you.
 
I wouldn't use it- he's trying to get on, not blend in. Blend in is not to stand out or be noticeable, like camouflage, but if you want to be promoted, then being unnoticeable is not a good thing..
