The altered statement is the converse of the contrapositive of $S$.
Contraposive of $S$: "All employees who are unsuccessful and not bored are dishonest or not persistent."
Converse of the contrapositive of $S$: "All employees who are dishonest or not persistent are unsuccessful and not bored."
Sorry if my notation is unfamiliar.
Write \begin{align*} Hx &= \text{$x$ is honest}\\ Px &= \text{$x$ is persistent}\\ Sx &= \text{$x$ is successful}\\ Bx &= \text{$x$ is bored} \end{align*}
Then $S$ can be written $\forall x (Hx \land Px) \to (Sx \lor Bx)$.
The next statement can be written $\forall x (\neg Hx \lor \neg Px) \to (\neg Sx \land \neg Bx)$.
Can you apply De Morgan's laws to make sense of that?
