concern or just another day at the plant they start out that way well how do you feel about it you've been doing a good job and we think you'll make a fine form i'm certainly going to try to and thanks for the opportunity you're going to judge him as i said we think you've got all the makings of a good bill thank you mr banta naturally you will be given some special training for the job you learn about the things you're supposed to do and also some things not do well give you all the help we can the training can only do so much and that's a guide got it down inside the natural ability to handle and understand people all the training in the world is not going to make him an executive but he's got the ability of people and climbing up the ladder of people and getting promotions no matter where he works it can be in a factory  or anywhere else i think i see what you mean all right and this form is job is your first big step up the ladder you see jim the company always tries to pick its foreman with an eye to that letter course sometimes we make mistakes and pick the wrong men in other subjects you'll be interested in knowing about you see jim you now on salary and there are a lot of advantages and responsibilities that go along with this they are all here it also tells about the open door policy that means whenever you have anything on your mind yeah i guess i'm a little bit proud of myself you see honey i well as the boss said things that i know i think one of them for a long time you know i want to yeah i was happy not only that day but a quite a while after i had the best job in the world i think sure i was with my old gang anymore and i missed them but that didn't bother me too much as i started but after a few months i was beginning to feel not as happy as well as happy as i thought i was going to be in my new job first of all there was a fellow out slave kind of a person who or i suppose there are some in every place the kind of a guy who does a lot of little annoying things like constantly being careless about safety rules down naturally i had to call this to his attention he didn't take too kindly to it once in a sullen way i thought i heard slade make some crack about me being a big shot in the job having gone to my head in addition to that it was the attitude of taylor the assistant superintendent all i know he was a busy man with a big job to do production to get out on a couple of occasions he appeared to be just a little bit too abrupt a little bit the days passed i thought i saw the reflection of this attitude in the entire gang so in an attempt to counteract this i overlooked a couple of little incidents actually though maybe i didn't realize it probably did i didn't feel right about the way things were going i knew something was going and i was bothered in fact plenty of  everything's ok kid related what time you got ten minutes you can there's something wrong you can't fool me i don't know what i did but if there's anything i can do to help that's what i'm s not sure exactly what i do mean i guess maybe i just wasn't cut out to be a performance i can't take this business of being in the middle all the time what you mean in the middle is justice sometimes it seems a for home last night they were evidently feeling the same way and what's more they had no idea what to do about it renay what was it a form of union as one guy said the foreman had to stand the sidelines and watch the rank and file get a human and bargain for pay rates grievance procedures seniority rights and all that and all we get is grief yes but the union for a phone call you these fellows on the boss union is what we need you farm and i like that guy in the magazine said we are members of management then that's that we should have a union a bargain against ourselves that's just logical yes i can see that but if we're just a forgotten something i know that guy i have kind of feeling he's writing me anyway what do you mean by that or what's a lot of little things is that it you know you can put your finger on exactly but the side that i can't go to general foreman  anyway there's no use talking and you're probably in the same boat i am but if i did go over he said and i really get it the way i work it out one way or another here that's still nothing to me about it i didn't say anything to anyone about it as you say ruthie i did forget about it for a while but i was before today well what about day for change everything seemed to be going along so well but i didn't i guess in fact it seemed to me it added up to tell me this new job was apparently a demotion and just about the last straw as far as i was concerned i was trying to discourage more than a little bit saw too and as the day wore on i began to get even more bright i couldn't get the idea off my mind that somehow or other this trouble seemed to center around the assistant superintendent then suddenly i made up my mind i made up my mind to take this form as job and store it right into the teeth of the assistant superintendent come what may i ask that's what i would do i decided to go bull by the horns and quit but first there are a few things that i had to say to the assistant superintendent if you think that i want to get off my chest that's when i want to do by this time i was in first of all i'm going to admit that you won so you don't have a problem of fast moves to get me to check my foreman's job i'm ready to quit right now go back to being just one of the boys at least i knew where i stood then well what in the name of for ideals are a few things i like to say to you i have a feeling that you personally have been gunning for me ever since i took over this farm and job why i don't know and what's more maybe i don't care the only thing that means is that i could never get anywhere with you writing the all the time but that's only part of the reason i'm getting  whatever gave you the idea that i was right you i've got more important now just a minute let me finish the main reason i'm throwing in the sponge because i think the foreman of the plant around here getting allows a d ok maybe the other guys will take it and i won't get don't back it up we don't know where we stand as far authorities concerned the whole thing's a mess even the men realize that
