Advertising employees possibly interviewed by Tony Schwartz (Commercial Artists) VG-4 [sound recording]
notes: label: Notes
content: CDR copy. FW-ASCH-7RR-0994 is one of a series of at least four tapes (-0991 through -0994) devoted to interviews conducted by the same unidentified person - almost certainly Tony Schwartz. Tony recorded a variety of Folkways albums based on field recordings he made in the 1950's near where he lived in New York City; however, these particular tapes apparently weren't used by Folkways. The box for this tape contains the number "VG-4." Although the questions and interview style on this tape are similar to the questions and style of the other three tapes, the current tape is somewhat different, as the interviewees are all secretaries rather than artists. Similar straightforward questions are asked of each secretary, such as: "What do you do?" "What kind of training did you have for your job? "What pleases (displeases) you most about your job? The secretaries all seem to be satisfied with their jobs, their consistently male bosses and their work, although all managed to mention, when asked, at least one thing they disliked. The first secretary, perhaps in her twenties, was a private secretary for a V.P. of a publishing company; the second, seemingly middle-aged, was a private secretary for the President of a company; the third, seemingly middle-aged, was a secretary within a steel corporation which had branches throughout the country. In addition to typing, taking dictation, opening mail, and filing, the secretaries all had to do some personal things for their boss, such as ordering theatre tickets, turning on the lights in the boss's office, and even writing personal checks.
