Loyalty to Management Strengthens Business
Loyalty to Management Strengthens Business.
“I am pleased at the general spirit of loyalty displayed to the management by the staff. Occasionally one finds an isolated case—and in such a large staff there will be such cases—of misguided members who see no wrong, for instance, in giving away departmental information. Such action does not harm the General Manager, but so far as any member through his action does anything that would tend to weaken the management, then he is damaging himself and his fellow members; for any action that tends to weaken the management must weaken the service as a whole.
“The year has been one of importance to the Chief Accountant's Division. Some review of the branch has taken place, but reviews are really always going on. In these days of rapidly changing conditions new ideas are always welcome. Make no apology, but see your Chief Accountant and discuss any new methods that appear to have advantages. I want the assistance of all.
“I again thank you for the valued assistance during the past year. Let us all do our job thoroughly, and we may look forward confidently to the future.”
