do later because i wasn't getting anywhere after eighteen months i figured i was worth more than they were paying me and i figured i was ready for a promotion to more important work i s honest mr wiley it was a rotten company i don't know why i stayed as long as i did it's tell me where you're fired it's yes i was but it wasn't my faults the company reorganization when they're forced to let people go i didn't do anything why me you said that in eighteen months you hadn't gotten anywhere that's right the other fellows who started later were promoted right over my head how much to see the company value the other fellow's services above yours but i thought i was doing fine what did i do you expect me to answer that no sir i guess you wouldn't know actually i probably do no better than you though i have no business thinking time for this but i can't help thinking you might really amount to something if you touch your mind trying to see yourself as your employer psyops but i still let me give you a picture of a case i really do know it's about a young man who came to work in our shipping here and another young man now we begin work here at eight thirty that's the time to begin this business of keeping our job and that's the time bob allison began work every day we could depend on him to be on time and do it work on time you might call him and eager beaver but look at it from the employer's point of view wouldn't you like to have working for you dependability is one of the main keys to keeping your job and getting ahead now dependability includes our willingness some of the work in our shipping on is hard work that's why we've always had two pilots working there well two fellows who were supposed to be working the other fellow i want to tell you about is rather bob's brother bob twin brother but the resemblance is only skin deep look at wealt from the employer's point of view and you see how not to even look at him from bob's point of view and you see how not to get along with your fellow worker it's on the other hand bob would be popular wherever he w actually he was supposed to run them off the evening before but if you put it on it's this is how not to be dependable it's our not to cooperate with the company and with your fellow worker it's in your own and now it isn't hard to learn to make good clean copies on a duplicating machine and this was the first time i've had to criticize walter on making poor copy and it wasn't the first time he'd tried to alibi his way out of a just before closing time you'll find by getting the shipping on ready for the night and you'll find water getting himself ready so he won't be a second later on to make lots and employers see this as a sure sign that a man isn't really interested in his work i ask you if you were the employer and had to cut back on us path which fellow would you keep that's not but why did you go ahead and fired it was i don't be too hasty i'm only telling you about one of those standpoints he did enough work to hang onto his job it's as long as times are good there will be jobs of fellows who just barely do enough to get by but to keep a job when the going gets rough you need to ensure your job make yourself so valuable your employer can't let you go it's we've talked about your friend ability and cooperation now another prime quality is an engineer and for one i have something good to say for want it's it's not hard to understand why he was unhappy whenever a shipment were left if you don't like the way think that done you can spend a lot of time complaining about it that was once as usual whites but this time he got an idea and he knew what to do with it in every company fellows in the shipping room benefit to having one of their our jobs made easier it's and one of our improve his standing with his employer by his display of initiative but one good mark isn't th nuts one day not long after the order was taking advantage of a lull in the work and bob was bringing the shipping records up to date when actually got their shipment rights wiseguy it's finally the stuff they've been running in here asking about every hour for the last three days sign here it's that's the way it is in this company they wait till they run out of something and everybody runs around like crazy no system and nobody in charge with enough brains to spark one want to wait around you know like the company why do you work for employer which it did i guess it's not very different from the way i was talking to you about the place where i used a way where others are saying if the shoe fits all of this you bet our rights you know what out i could see my shortcomings all over the place dependability initiatives cooperation and loyalists i could have done a lot better on every count glad to meet you it's awfully good man to watch this if you train somebody to take over here he's moving up to us to some purchasing manager say that's great mr wylie been telling me about you and your brother my brother yeah you too and brother wasn't i had a point to make so i invented a twin brother for you you see in this twin of bob's i was really describing bob's poor conduct on the job when he first came to work here oh you mean the way i was loafing on the job around here before i get it and then you well if you can say mr why did i ever tell you about my twin brother
