who Is ^The Company^?
“Fieldcrest just came aut with a new product.
“Fieldcrest is going to build a new plant.
“Fieldcrest is going to do this . . . and do that”.
Many people talk about Fieldcrest.
But who or what is this thing called “Fieldcrest” or “the Company”?
• Is it a building?
No. Buildings can do nothing by and of themselves. They need men
and machinery to produce results. Buildings are not “Fieldcrest”.
• Is it machinery?
It’s the same story. Without people to manage and operate them,
machines are useless,
• Is it your supervisor?
He’s mighty important. His job is to direct and coordinate the work
of the men and women and equipment in his department. You may
not always agree with him, but you couldn’t do your job effectively
without him. But he isn’t “Fieldcrest”. He does his job and gets his pay
the same as you.
• Is it the mill manager?
He has a big job, but the basic goals of his job are the same as yours
. . . keep quality production up and unnecessary costs down. No, he
isn’t “Fieldcrest”.
• Is it top management?
The president and other officers have tremendous responsibilities.
They have to make decisions for the good of all plants. But their deci
sions would be meaningless without the money, equipment, and other
employees to carry them out. They’re not “Fieldcrest”. They, in turn,
are responsible to the board of directors.
• Is it the board of directors?
They set the general policies that are carried aut by the others. But
they aren’t “Fieldcrest” any more than a school board is an educa
tional system.
• Is it the shareholders?
They are the owners. They put up the money which provides build
ings and equipment and thus make the jobs. The shareholders elect
directors ta manage the business. But the shareholders are not “Field
crest”.
• Is it you?
You’re mighty important. You’re the one who operates the machines,
does the maintenance work, sells the products, carries on research,
loads the trucks and types the letters. But you alone couldn’t make a
single yard of cloth without your fellow workers, the supervisors, and
the tools furnished by the sharehalders.
Take away any one of the above and production would come to a
halt. There would be no jobs. There would be no “Fieldcrest” or “Com
pany”.
The company is all of us working together to maintain our reputa
tion with our customers as a low-cost producer of high-quality pro
ducts.
