Excerpt from The Employment Department and Employee Relations: One of a Series of Lectures in a Systematic Course
In a large public utility company, there are three maj or branches of service, one devoted to the genera tion of current, another to accounting, and the third to marketing. In the generating department, a machine operating normally produces a given amount of current. This condition cannot be changed by any efiort on the part of the employee. The current, if sold at a set price, will produce a certain revenue and no more or less. The recording of this fact is the only problem of 'the accountant Employees working in either of these divisions are concerned in their daily labors with things rather than people. The man Who attends a machine must possess a certain technical knowledge and, possessing that and having health and willingness to serve, his problems are simple and do not vary to any considerable extent. The same is true of the ac countant. He works with figures and facts, and, hav ing reached a trial balance, he again retraces the activi ties of the previous month to determine a trial balance with the close of the month. He also comes in contact with things rather than people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
