Workers Quotes - Page 9

• Cuanto más me muevo entre los trabajadores y las fábricas y otras plantas, más me convenzo de que es aconsejable tener como presidente [de una empresa] a un hombre práctico, preferiblemente uno que haya ascendido desde lo más bajo de la escala. He comprobado que los trabajadores respetan mucho más a esos hombres que a los ejecutivos de cuello y corbata que saben poco o nada sobre los diferentes tipos de trabajo que tienen que realizar los trabajadores. Siempre que las circunstancias exijan colocar a un financiero, a un abogado o a un hijo de papá a la cabeza de una gran organización, se le debe nombrar presidente u otro título, pero no presidente.

• Siempre que es posible, me gusta que el jefe supremo de una empresa me enseñe las obras. Es sumamente esclarecedor observar la actitud de los trabajadores hacia su jefe, e igualmente interesante observar la actitud de éste hacia los trabajadores. Es trágico comprobar cuántos jefes de grandes empresas son absolutamente desconocidos, incluso de vista, para las bases de sus trabajadores.

• Vacations for wage earners have proved both popular with workers and profitable for employers. Unfortunately, the majority of large employers have not yet followed the example set by a number of progressive corporations. I don't know of a single company that has abandoned vacations for wage earners after having tried the experiment. But I do know many that are delighted with the fruits they have gathered. Under some of the plans vacations with pay must be earned by good behavior, punctuality, etc.... The best results have come where the treatment has been regarded as most liberal.

• En el césped junto a la acera hay una colonia de hormigas rojas. Las hormigas salen a borbotones de un hormiguero, que aquí no es más que un montón irregular de tierra parcialmente aplastada por la última pasada de un cortacésped. Las reinas aladas y los machos emprenden el vuelo nupcial, protegidos por obreras de aspecto enfadado que corren arriba y abajo por las briznas de hierba y salen al hormigón candente de la acera. La especie es sin duda Solenopsis geminata, la hormiga de fuego autóctona.

• I don't care if you're a parent giving to a child, a worker to a company, or a romantic to a lover, this behavior eventually leads to resentment. There's always a hidden agenda of What's in it for me? It's often suppressed, and this is why sacrifice is ultimately unwise and incomplete. Does this mean that there's no such thing as altruism, philanthropy, or generosity? No, it just means that anytime these exist, so do egocentricity, misanthropy, and greed. There's always a balancing force, even if it's sometimes hidden or unconscious.

• I know, if anyone does - all research workers know - how much is missed that really matters because reports have to be written in officialese. They have to be, because a lot of us can't take anything seriously unless you make it dull for them.

• Workers develop routines when they do the same job for a while. They lose their edge, falling into habits not just in what they do but in how they think. Habits turn into routines. Routines into ruts.

• . . . black women . . . are trained from childhood to become workers, and expect to be financially self-supporting for most of their lives. They know they will have to work, whether they are married or single; work to them, unlike to white women, is not a liberating goal, but rather an imposed lifelong necessity.

• The efficiency of most workers is beyond the control of the management and depends more than has been supposed upon the willingness of men to do their best.

• The greatest danger to an adequate old-age security plan is rising prices. A rise of 2% a year in prices would cut the purchasing power of pensions about 45% in 30 years. The greatest danger of rising prices is from wages rising faster than output per man-hour.... Whether the nation succeeds in providing adequate security for retired workers depends in large measure upon the wage policies of trade unions.

• When men and women across the country reported how happy they felt, researchers found that jugglers were happier than others. By and large, the more roles, the greater the happiness. Parents were happier than nonparents, and workers were happier than nonworkers. Married people were much happier than unmarried people. Married people were generally at the top of the emotional totem pole.

• Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman's involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.

• Los padres de hoy tienen poca autoridad sobre aquellos otros con quienes comparten la tarea de criar a sus hijos. Al contrario, la mayoría de los padres tratan con esos otros desde una posición de inferioridad o indefensión. Profesores, médicos, trabajadores sociales o productores de televisión poseen más estatus que la mayoría de los padres..... Como resultado, el padre de hoy es un maestro que intenta dirigir una orquesta de músicos que nunca se han conocido y que tocan a partir de una multitud de partituras diferentes, cada una en una notación que el director no puede leer.

• The creativity that comes from silence, from a quiet heart, feels different from that of ambition to both the creator and the observer. When the artist or the worker is out of the way, both the creator and the observer experience the art as simply a gift, an expression of the impersonal intelligence shared by all. The creator has no need to take credit for it, the observer no need to possess it.

• A miracle worker who can do more with less, pacify rival groups, endure chronic second guessing, tolerate low levels of support, process large volumes of paper, and work double shifts. He or she will have carte blanche to innovate, but cannot spend much money, replace any personnel, or upset any constituency.

• Brothers and sisters, I believe that there are few, even temple workers, who comprehend the full meaning and power of the temple endowment.  Seen for what it is, it is the step-by-step ascent into the Eternal Presence.  If our young people could but glimpse it, it would be the most powerful spiritual motivation of their lives.
