6 IS MY JOB REAL] Do you ever get the feeling that your job isn't important or that it doesn't make much difference whether you do it well or not? Well, just remember this: if your job weren't necessary and important to the Company, it wouldn't exist and you wouldn't be here. Naturally, it follows that if a job is necessary, it is important that it be done well. Our individual job security depends on how well we do in comparison with every one of our business competitors. Remember the last car you bought? The one you finally settled on started easily, ran quietly, and handled real well. It had all the things you wanted in a car. On the demonstration ride, evervthina worked the wav it was supposed to work . . . windows, doors, glove compartment, even the trunk lid. You didn't buy it right off because you were looking for a special "deal" and decided to check with competitive dealer. But here you noticed right away that one window didn't close tightly and that another one made a funny noise when you rolled it up. Even worse, you tore your jacket on a piece of chrome trim that had been put on one eighth of an inch too far forward thus projecting a sharp point into the doorway. Sure ... it was just a minor adjustment, but not to you. Even if the price had been right, you wouldn't have bought the car. Had the production employee in stalled the chrome strip properly or had the inspection department caught the error and had it repaired, the sale might have been saved. "So what? If a sale is lost now and then, it's no skin off my nose." Don't you believe it. Such thinking is plain stupid: The money to pay wages and salaries comes only from sales. Lost sales mean lost wages and salaries. It's really quite a simple formula. Every job, whether its typing a letter to a customer, sorting supplies, maintaining equipment, or assembling a product, calls for that job to be done right. If someone goofs, it may result in a lost customer (remembei il.at car deal). There's not a single unimportant job in a modern organization. Everyone of us is dependent on everyone else. The more people, the more parts, the more operations, the more need for quality at each step. Just one piece of poor quality work will affect everyone else and Ih# wVinle !aK L.Y IMPORTANT? There are no unimportant jobs. No matter what the job, it should be done with pride and dignity. To do anything less is to cheat yourself and your employer.
