Publisher's Synopsis
Why I Wasn't Fired at Xerox is about opportunity. I wanted to follow in the footsteps of the early pioneers of Haloid Corporation (now Xerox Corporation) to do the right thing.
From 1965 to 1995, in the heydays of Xerox Corporation, I held many engineering positions, including managing various projects and was a Reliability Manager with the Xerox Manufacturing and Development Program.
As you read the Preface, Introduction, the section "My Philosophy with Engineering" and each of the chapters, you will gain a deeper understanding to grasp the complex issues I had to deal with. These choices were always carefully thought out to enable a manufacturing line to have less disruptions. My style was not always appreciated but I would only break the rules for the good of the company and hopefully inspire longer term harmony.
In essence I believe this was what Joe Wilson, the founder of Xerox Corporation wanted most.
