<iron out>: 바로잡다, 해결하다, 잘 처리하다. (fix, resolve)
This is a very interesting word, isn't it? Again look at the spelling I R O N. However, the pronunciation is more like I O R N, iorn. Very strange indeed. We know that as a verb iron means to make it something flat or even or in good condition. If you have a problem or some kind of trouble, we can imagine you have to make that clean and smooth just like you iron your clothing, you need to iron out that problem, make it go away. Yeah, you know I am Iron Man every Saturday. I have to iron clothes in my house.

glitch (문제) = hiccup
<walk out>: 떠나다, 그만두다 (leave, quit)
Again another word with an interesting pronunciation, no L sound, simply W A K sounds like that "wak, wak out." To walk out is to leave, perhaps quit, give up on or simply go away. Walk out.

As a noun phrase to have a walkout is to have a strike. As a verb walk out means to go.

<print out>: 인쇄하다, 출력하다. (make a hard copy)
I believe that most GMPers these days were born in the days of computers, and everyone knows what a means to perhaps create something on your computer, some sort of word file, and then print out that file. Simply order your computer to make a hard copy.

Lifestyle Tips
It's very true. I believe in many big companies are lots, lots of documents are printed out on paper.
But, they're never collecting for some reason or they never even look that. They just end up in the trash can. So, they say typically companies save up to 30 percent by better managing what they're printing.
John's Recap
You know over there at 길동's small office they were having some problems and there were some problems between management and employees, and you know this simply thing could've been solved very easily. There was no reason for employees to walk out and quit their job, and 길동 had a great idea.
On the Internet he found a site that offers solutions to problems, and so he was able to print out a copy for everybody and they all look at it. Within a few days they were able to iron out all the problems.
Now everybody is working together very happily. Every morning when they go to the office the first thing they do is to say "Eeee."
