Subject: How to motivate peers in a quality circle?
Organization: TOSHIBA America MRI, South San Francisco, CA
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 92 22:46:23 GMT

	Greetings,

	Has anyone had experience with motivating a group
	of peers in a quality circle? If one is a leader,
	but not a boss how does one get the others to
	perform? I can't give them money, a 4O1K plan,
	comp time etc., a new job title, I'm just a peer.	
	And as a peer, I have no authority.

	Now supposeably we should participate in our quality circle 
	because we know what is good for our company is
	good for us (we get to keep our jobs.) But in reality
	the people in these groups could care less. Talk
	about taking their jobs for granted! I asked my group
	what would motivate them. My worse member suggested
	comp time and money of course--very material needs.

	I've taken a number of managerial courses and in theory
	people are motivated by things greater than money
	like job satisfaction or recognition. But to hear the
        what the group members have to say you would think	
	all they care about is money.

	I'm looking forward to your responses!

	Thanks,
	Vivian

Thanks for those kind words Lane.  If you don't want to dress up your
resume, then that is your privilege.  I don't have to dress mine up
any more, either.  But there was a time where if I hadn't dressed it up,
I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today.  The resume is the tool to
get one in the door; ie, to at least get an interview.  Once you get the
interview, it's then up to you to convince them to hire you.  Once they 
hire you, as long as you are successful, then you're in good shape.  How
many people have had their bosses come at them waving their old resume, 
yelling, "I thought you were a consultant!  That's why I hired you!"
Nowadays, it's tough out there trying to get a job.  There are a lot of
damn good people who are unemployed.  Everybody has a Baccalaureate degree
nowadays, so one has to stand out somehow.  Again, it all boild down to 
the keys to the door, or the resume.  I still stand by by original statements

It will depend on the time period and the individuals involved whether this is
true in any specific case.  There have, however, been studies done which confirm
this.

contact some head hunters that specialize in jobs in the Operations Research
field.  In particular I am interested in acquiring a job which will involve the
construction of software for applications in Operations Research, Industrial
Engineering, Decision Support, and the like.  I have a strong educational and

You are, of course, free to start a company of your own that has exercise  
facilities and allows as much vacation time as you would like (paid or unpaid).   
I think you will find that owning and running a company is *MUCH* harder than  
you think, and that the payback for these employee benefits may not be obvious.   
It may be, however, that you are right and that the best people will work for  
your company just because of your benefits.

Differing company benefits is part of competition in the workplace, and  
everyone is free to put their money where their mouth is at any time.  That is  
of course, as long as you follow the ever increasing quagmire of rules and  
regulations ;-)

>>  The Japanese average 2100 working hours a year versus 2050 in the US
>>  (source: OECD) 

This figure is highly bogus.  The Wall Street Journal has documented how
the Japanese confuse attendance at work with work and count as work time
time spent reading the newspaper and playing games on the computer.
Although this behavior is not restricted to Japan, it is, according to
the WSJ, especially marked in that country.  Also marked is the habit of
Japanese workers to count time spent in company-sponsored recreation (
for example, drinking with the boss) as work.  The figure does not count
the heavy amount of work done by Japanese women.

Americans count time spent staring at a computer and typing under the
more or less detailed supervision of management as work, whereas a human
definition of work would include activities such as cleaning up one's
own house, raising one's children, helping the homeless, or (even)
learning a new programming language as Work.  Americans equate pain or
its appearance with work whereas a human definition of Work is found in
Hegel: it is that process by which we become fully human through
interacting with the recalcitrant world.  It is ironic that people count
sitting unproductively on one's rear end as work and tearing apart their
car as play, as long as some guy in a suit wants them to do the former.
In the resulting alienation, everyone loses: the worker loses his
irreplaceable time, and business loses real productivity as people do
their best to steal time back, whether by playing computer games or by
writing incomprehensible computer programs that simultaneously express
"passive aggression" and ensure job security.

Deconstruct work!

I decided I ought to be a bit more specific about my needs for
a headhunter in Santa Cruz, CA:

I am seeking work doing Macintosh programming (Object-oriented/C++) and/or
Unix/Macintosh/Network administration.  I would be willing to try something
new: in particular, I'm interested in cross-platform object libraries,
groupware, the NeXT machine, and integrated programming environments.

I have 10 years experience programming all kinds of computers, 5 years
programming the Mac, 3 years OO Mac programming, and 3 years unix system
administration.

I am specifically interested in Santa Cruz and other relatively rural
communities in California-- the kind of place where I can live in a
rural area and commute to work quickly and easily.  I do not wish to
work in Silicon Valley, LA, or San Francisco, although occasional
assignments there are OK.

 Don't know the actual true behind the stories, but what I hear comes from
 various small-business owner magazines and from various talk shows.
 The story goes that some people started sueing a company because that company
 gave them a review when another company asked about that employee, so that
 stop people from giving anything but a good review of someone.  Next there
 are storys of companies sueing other companies because they gave a good
 review of someone who was then hired, the company they found out that the
 person actually had a bad history so they sued the company they had asked
 because they gave them wrong information.  Next came the next stage of this
 item, when companies stopped giving out any form of appraiseal(sp?) so the
 former employees sued the company because of damage to their name, the reason
 was that with no form of reccommendation the company they tried to get work
 from now though that it must be bad.  This has lead to some companies not
 setting up a policy of not giving anything by name, the fact they worked
 there and the dates they worked there, or sometimes they will just verify the
 truth of theses statements if you ask them, and supply the correct items.

 I cannot verify how true the above information is, so please don't sue me :)

===================================================================

		A WORD OF CAUTION ABOUT CAP GEMINI AMERICA

The company is basically a franchise there are total around 20,000
employee world wide.  All (or most) of CGA branches are individually owned
and locally operated to best of my knowledge.

PLEASE TAKE FOLLOWING CARE IN DEALING WITH THEM

(1) The company has some standard procedure about issusing job offer.

(2) The company calls for first interview in person, second, third and fourth
	interviews may be in person or by telephone.  This four interview
	process takes about one to three weeks (it is very fast).

(3) In the last interview they will give you OFFER LETTER SUBJECTED TO they
	themselves getting job and/ or CLIENTS approval.

(4) PLEASE NOTE getting JOB OFFER LETTER IS NOT SAME AS GETTING JOB.
(5) There is nothing wrong about there offer letter.  Only thing is
	you may join them in one weeks time or one years time GOD ONLY
	KNOWS.
(6) Once they give job offer letter they just stop any correspondence
	with you.  Then you have to start calling them. They give lot of
	real or imaginary promisies (they raise false hope) about you
	joining in near future.  DO NOT BELIEVE THEM TILL YOU ACTUALLY JOIN.

	(this experience is very much common .  I 
	think this might be there corporate policy)

CAP GEMINIE IS A GOOD COMPANY but do not get fooled by there presentation.
When my friend asked " YOUR COMPANY IS VERY BIG CORPORATION OF 20,000 EMP."
the human resources manager just noded.  The company gave him brochure etc.
of there Corp. profile it was misleading.  That particular branch had
only 20 employee and no accounting department.  The pay checks come from
NEW YORK or from FRANCE I do not recall.

	If you get any other offer immediately take it do not wait
for this company to send you joining date.  The wait can be 
any where from one day to one year.

ASK THEM CLEAR CUT WHEN I CAN JOIN YOU "EXACT DATE".

Bye.

XWINDOWS.  (I also know a little bit about C, Pascal and DBase.)  
I am looking for a job that is NOT all computer programming - I would

I would like to hear from recruiters that may be able to place me, or
anyone aware of any companies in Florida that are actually interested
in hiring people.  I am from the Daytona area and have always wanted to 
work at the Cape so I am primarily interested in these areas (although

I once offered to work for free for a company for at least a month 
(possibly 2).  Then if they liked what I did to hire me, else let me go.
The problem with this (as I see it) is that a month or two is the minimum
time for a person to get on the job and to really get up to speed.  So the
company has given out a certain amount of effort to get you on line and
to teach you the ropes and probably gotten just a little productivity 
improvement from you being there (remember, others in the company have to
take time to show you how to do this or that - that costs the company).  
{By the way, they turned me down.  They had a hiring freeze and probably
couldn't justify bringing anyone new on board.}

On the other hand if you say you will work for 6 months free then other 
employees may feel threatened (hey, here is a guy working for free, the 
company has to pay me to work here, maybe they will decide to get rid of 
me and keep this guy working for free - or a token low wage :-)).
