Nevertheless he was a popular figure as he could earn the respect of his colleagues. Bobby, a site foreman, was working with Clint on a new project. Bobby had an assistant, Chui who had been his right hand man for many years. One day, Chui fell ill and Bobby took over the routine check of books and accounts. He suddenly saw the names of two men whom he did not recall seeing on the site the day before marked into the attendance book. He thought it was a mere error of entry but to make sure, he summoned the two men to come and see him. When the two guys showed up, Bobby was amazed to see that they were totally unabashed. They admitted outright that they have been absent the day before and that their chums had clocked in their attendance cards for them. They were even brazen enough to put forth a number of points to justify what they had done. According to them, attendance at work did not necessarily mean that the progress would be faster. The guys need to time out and rest in order to throw themselves with renewed vigor into their tasks after their leave days and they could work hard to compensate for the day lost. The productivity would be higher. And they had never let Bobby down, had they? This had been a system drawn up by the men and everybody knew about it...

...When Miss Hilo went on medical leave four months ago, her work was distributed among the executives, which has resulted in decreased professionalism from our assistants. Since then, there have been several discussions with employees regarding ways to increase productivity and office moral, without incurring over-time hours or further cost. We have concluded that there is a need to re-direct some of the workload from Mrs. Disselkoen, part-time assistant: back to Mr. Snyder, full-time assistant. For Mr. Snyder to retain his full-time hours, all work relating to Miss Hilo would be forwarded to him. Following, Mrs. Disselkoen assures us she will return to a high level of proficiency with her original workload, within her part-time schedule. To keep you informed, minutes from additional discussions would be passed on to you. After speaking with Miss Hilo, although not confirmed until her medical leave has concluded, I am under the impression she will not be returning to her position. With that in mind, as well as time constraints, I believe it is necessary to begin the process of seeking her replacement. In order for Executives Mr. Frank Daley and Mr. R. Alane to preserve their work standards, the added workload they’ve taken on should be considered temporary, therefore, with minimal effort and cost, a company-wide email and interoffice memos should be sufficient in recognizing employees aspiring to a promotion.

...Departments In A Bank As soon as it becomes necessary, on account of volume of business, to divide the work in a bank into divisions, each employing a group of clerks, such division is organized into a department having a department head who is usually a teller, a head bookkeeper, or perhaps a junior officer. In the very large banks the executive staff is itself organized into groups, and there may be a vice - president and one or two assistant cashiers in charge of each important department. The work of a department in a large bank is nothing more nor less than the work of a single man in a small bank, apportioned among several men. For example, the receiving teller in a five-man bank will take the deposit, count the cash, examine the checks, assort them as to place payable, enter them upon the proper records and make a settlement or proof at the end of the day. In a large bank each of these operations is performed by a different man or group of clerks under the direction of the receiving teller, who is head of the department. It may be that he himself will do very little if any of the detail work. He becomes the manager. Frequently we find a department within a department, as for example, the money department within the paying teller's department. The ordinary departments, classified as to group, may be described as follows: Paying Teller's Department (Teller): Pays or certifies checks. In charge of the signature book or cards bearing the authorized signatures of all depositors...
