Well, perhaps we do things that aren’t necessary — like turkeys at Christmas — but I think there’s much more to a job than operating a piece of equipment or working at a desk. I’ve always been interested in trying to provide decent surroundings and facilities as far as our budget will allow. I want Bill Edwards to test lighting levels everywhere, I’m annoyed if I find no soap in a washroom, a chair that should be repaired, peeling paint, dirty machinery, poorly stored skids of paper, typo errors, an unwashed truck. Petty perhaps, but how else do you explain the unusually high average number of years’ service of our staff, the long list of people who went elsewhere for awhile and then returned? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must get to the eyeglass-cleaning unit, which is near the billiard table in the cafeteria. If this sort of thing is ‘patronizing,’ I make no apologies.
