The Missing Interest (1963)

[Music] [Applause] [Music] I hate to lose you Pam but if your mind's made up I hope you're happy wherever you go well thank you Mr Wy I'm looking forward to the new job it sounds real interesting say goodbye to Mrs Simmons for me will you when she comes back from her vacation oh sure Pam sure and uh good luck Goodbye Mr buard in Personnel please hello K this is Dave Wy in operations I was wondering if you had any leads on a replacement for Pamela Adams she just left oh that's too bad bad Dave good girls are hard to find why don't you give us a reason for leaving well you know how it is Ken they never give you the real reason said it was to take a more interesting job but it was probably more money was there an objection to the pay scale oh no direct objection to the pay but you know what I've always said we should pay more well that way we'd get plenty of help better help and if they don't work out fire him well that sounds pretty drastic actually the records show that there are other things besides salary which count maybe it's just as well she left she was never interested or very accurate in this job from the time that she arrived and we gave her every chance I went out of my way to be friendly and helpful [Music] hi there hello you're the new girl aren't you let's see your name is Pamela Adams of course and I'm not exactly new anymore Mr Wy I've been here 5 weeks you Pam well time flies doesn't it how do you like the job Pam oh it's fine I guess it does seem rather routine at times well you just stick with it Pam I know filing is not much of a job but later on you'll get to do more important work I'd like to talk to you about my future here Mr Wy some of the other girls were saying that you well what I mean is I I've learned this filing job very well now I wondered if I couldn't begin to learn something that was hey watch that first name filing I saw one of them out of out of order yesterday we file by last name then by both initials on a common name like Smith or Jones that's duplicated that's very important it's one of the first things you should have learned I know how we file Mr Wy I just threw these records down in rough name order it saves time in the actual filing well just be sure your rough sorting doesn't get you all mixed up and you file them wrong yes Mr Wy I'll be careful good girl now as to your future you just keep doing a good job filing you'll be ready for the next job when it comes along and as to what the other girls tell you the more you think for yourself around here the better off you'll be you'll get your promotion faster if you don't listen to other people I'll remember that Mr [Music] [Applause] Wy good morning Catherine good morning morning Nancy hi Catherine I'd like you to do something for me yes you know that new girl Dan Adams Dan Adams Oh you mean Pam Adams out in filing yeah Pam Adams what I want you to do is to keep an eye on her work you know accuracy make sure she's doing her job right now don't make it obvious that you're checking just ask her how she's doing and look at her files whenever you get a chance well all right Mr Wy but I thought she was doing just fine I trained her myself oh I don't blame you training just goes so far but I'm not sure she's doing as well as she might nothing serious but I want to be sure okay Mr Wy oh that reminds me those special memos on materials you gave me this morning should I put them ahead of my regular assignment did I say to well no but they look important you're going to send them to Mr mayor for study aren't you yes but look just get the data specified and get those memos back to me as soon as you can but do you want them today or tomorrow today of course well if I'd have wanted them tomorrow I'd give them to you tomorrow oh Mr Wy yes I know you're busy now but I just wanted to talk to you a few seconds about an idea I have that might save the company some paperwork good idea why don't you just drop it in the suggestion box well before I did I wanted to find out what you thought of it well I'm busy now but I've always got time for good suggestions well I had planned to make up a draft to the for before I talked to you but roughly it's an idea to combine the warehouse report and the production report on one form well it's mostly the same information Anyway by redesigning no we dropped that warehouse record form a couple of years ago it didn't work we had to start using it again but I didn't mean to drop the warehouse record just combine it with a production report oh I'm so sure it would work I'd bet on it like you bet me on that other idea of yours numbering the memo forms wasn't it what a mess that was remember now don't get me wrong Catherine I do want to hear any ideas you might have the next one might be great and next time I better leave it to the experts I'm sorry I wasted your time Mr Wy I'll go see what I can do about Pam Adams well how's the new assignment Nancy oh just fine Mr Wy these reports are a lot more fun than filing good I'm awfully glad you gave them to me even if I'm not so good at typing them well do try to improve the typing those reports go to management yeah I know how's fing coming along pan if you have any questions about the system I'm available well I thought I was doing fine just as you suggested then this morning Mr Wy threw a fit when he saw I was rough sorting the cards I guess he was scared I was going to file them that way oh for goodness sake just forget it after a couple more months maybe he'll stop checking up on your work well I'm not sure I can wait that long so will you see what you can do Ken uh get me a girl who'll not be wanting to change the job she was hired to do who'll do what she's told to do and stay put okay yes I know about the high turnover rate in my division but that's not my fault I've always said we should pay more then we'd get girls who are willing to stay that that would stop the turnover you don't agree all right what do you suggest a three-day week [Music] [Applause] [Music]
