bumped up in revenue? 請問英文

應該是說這家公司曾經擁有十億的收入(had bumped up to a billion dollars in revenue)，但是公司沒辦法將這樣的好景延續下去(they couldn't seem to get past it) 現在公司流失了大量個顧客及收入(now the company was hemorrhaging revenue and customers) 也開始裁員，這個新的CEO接管後，他的第一件事就是開始削減成本(cut costs)

我的看法稍微有點不一樣...

get past 這裡的確應該還是超過的意思. 把那句話中間的註解省略掉的話就變成

"but the company had bumped up to a billion dollars in revenue, and then they couldn't seem to get past it.

"但是這間公司的收入提高到十億元以後, 就沒有辦法再增加了" (或者可以說是停滯不前?)

所以才出現了另一位很有野心的高層人員取代了 CEO. 目的是要讓公司的收入更上一層樓.

還有confused嗎?

NO more, fully understood!

How do you know I will NOT grow into a big fish ?

從基本的說起吧:

get past it = get over with it = 因為做某事而得到滿足
不是妳所聊解的 "超越$1 billion"

所以這段文章是在說:

這公司有一個員工們喜愛的CEO 有辦法 讓公司營收慢慢增加超越 $1B
但是董事會 "無法因此而滿足" 去聽信 另一個野心十足的人 的話 而換了CEO砍東砍西的 把公司 搞砸了

還有confused嗎?

It is the big fish that I am interested in. As for a tiny and ugly one? nope.

I once worked with a chief executive of a company, I was an employee there, and there was this CEO of a big company, and he was a really good CEO, a humble guy, but the company had bumped up to a billion dollars in revenue -- that used to be a lot of money -- and then they couldn’t seem to get past it. So one of the most ambitious of the leaders at this company really petitioned to the board. He said, you should make me the new CEO and they did. So they hired him, put him into the job. Now the company was hemorrhaging revenue and customers and it was laying people off, and so this new guy took over, and the first thing he did is he said we have to cut costs.
有一次，我與一家公司的首席執行官的工作，我是一名僱員那裡，有一個大公司的CEO這樣，他是一個非常好的CEO，一個不起眼的傢伙，但該公司已被撞高達十億美元的收入 - 這曾經是很多錢 - 然後他們似乎無法讓過去的。所以，最雄心勃勃的領導人在這家公司的人真的奏請董事會。他說，你應該讓我在新的CEO，他們做到了。於是他們僱用了他，把他的工作。現在，該公司已出血的收入和客戶，這是裁員，所以這個新來的傢伙接手，而他做的第一件事是，他說我們必須削減成本。
請問這裡的意思是什麼? I'm confused. 我很困惑。
