1
00:00:30,62 --> 00:00:35,04
You know sometimes I feel sorry for
people who have to run an office set up

2
00:00:35,91 --> 00:00:37,66
especially if it employs a number of girls

3
00:00:39,10 --> 00:00:41,87
but darn many things can
develop out of nothing.

4
00:00:43,11 --> 00:00:46,32
I've always thought it was good common
sense to ignore petty situations

5
00:00:46,32 --> 00:00:51,66
but then again you never
know George Barnes or G.

6
00:00:51,66 --> 00:00:54,74
Bennett Barnes the scientists
name had the same idea.

7
00:00:55,77 --> 00:00:57,90
George runs the office and
of the service department.

8
00:00:58,93 --> 00:01:01,90
This involves considerable
correspondence special records

9
00:01:01,90 --> 00:01:06,38
and complicated systems of filing
eight or nine girls worked for George

10
00:01:07,13 --> 00:01:09,38
and Betty here is what you might
call the leader of the group.

11
00:01:10,31 --> 00:01:13,92
I guess just about every office has
someone like Betty a little short on

12
00:01:13,92 --> 00:01:15,06
personality maybe

13
00:01:15,06 --> 00:01:21,29
but darned efficient fact is she's been
here almost as long as George many of the

14
00:01:21,29 --> 00:01:24,36
procedures and planning systems were
set up by Betty in the first place.

15
00:01:25,29 --> 00:01:29,23
Well to get along with my
story. George hired a new girl.

16
00:01:30,33 --> 00:01:32,79
Jonas good to have you with
us. We hope you like it here.

17
00:01:32,92 --> 00:01:37,66
Thank you Mr Pike I'm sure it's not very
often we have the opportunity to hire

18
00:01:37,66 --> 00:01:40,21
someone with your extensive background.

19
00:01:40,22 --> 00:01:41,41
I'm sure your college training

20
00:01:41,41 --> 00:01:45,30
and particularly your past working experience
in the service field will be a big

21
00:01:45,30 --> 00:01:49,72
help to us. Well I certainly hope
you'll find where a friendly group.

22
00:01:50,32 --> 00:01:55,16
Look around get acquainted see how we
do things then who know what a fresh

23
00:01:55,16 --> 00:01:58,48
viewpoint. Maybe you'll come up with
some new ideas. You know. Thank you Mr.

24
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:06,83
So there are four Betty.
This is Joan Thomas.

25
00:02:07,47 --> 00:02:10,90
She's replacing Sylvia Jones
abetting McCarthy How do you do.

26
00:02:10,91 --> 00:02:12,63
Joe and I'm glad to know your fellow Betty

27
00:02:12,63 --> 00:02:14,71
that if you take Joan I'm
sure around the office

28
00:02:14,71 --> 00:02:21,60
and then to do so would everyone please be
happy to thank you thank write me back.

29
00:02:21,62 --> 00:02:22,18
Well.

30
00:02:22,41 --> 00:02:28,13
Joan proved to be an intelligent girl quick
to grasp things full sound I did a couple

31
00:02:28,13 --> 00:02:32,14
of weeks later. I'll
bet you have a minute.

32
00:02:34,25 --> 00:02:38,73
What is it but I'm having an awful time
checking anything in these guarantee files.

33
00:02:38,80 --> 00:02:39,95
It's all alphabetical

34
00:02:39,95 --> 00:02:43,59
and there are millions of them takes
forever to find any particular wine

35
00:02:43,59 --> 00:02:47,53
but we haven't been having any trouble all
the way they did America Betty think a

36
00:02:47,53 --> 00:02:50,35
lot of time there. We broke
the guarantee down by city.

37
00:02:50,78 --> 00:02:53,34
And then alphabetically that
way when you wanted to check

38
00:02:53,34 --> 00:02:56,80
when you could do it in a jiffy. We
could save a lot of time if we do it

39
00:02:56,80 --> 00:02:58,75
that way here but we've been getting by.

40
00:02:58,77 --> 00:03:02,49
All right so far and I don't see
much percentage in changing now.

41
00:03:02,70 --> 00:03:04,29
Well Mr Bryant said.

42
00:03:05,11 --> 00:03:09,89
Well I just thought it would save
time for everyone especially.

43
00:03:09,90 --> 00:03:13,86
Well I'm sorry we don't do things more
for your way of thinking perhaps America

44
00:03:13,86 --> 00:03:16,72
with better organized. Now I
didn't mean it that way. Betty.

45
00:03:16,74 --> 00:03:20,17
I just thought it would be easier for
everyone if we would do it the other way.

46
00:03:21,27 --> 00:03:25,53
That's not a situation first developed a
little friction between a competent old

47
00:03:25,53 --> 00:03:28,32
employee and an intelligence
experience knew one.

48
00:03:28,50 --> 00:03:34,25
Well it wasn't long until the

49
00:03:37,99 --> 00:03:42,40
other morning Betty. I
was going to see Bryan.

50
00:03:42,67 --> 00:03:45,61
I never had any trouble in the
office as long as I've been here.

51
00:03:45,76 --> 00:03:48,95
I think you'll agree I've always got
along with the other girls certainly.

52
00:03:50,05 --> 00:03:52,62
What's the matter Betty and
said New Girl. Joan Thomas.

53
00:03:52,80 --> 00:03:56,22
Just because she's been to college with
service in a couple of other places she

54
00:03:56,22 --> 00:03:59,12
tries lorded over everyone
everything we do is inefficient.

55
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:03,58
Now she says our guarantee filing
system is no good and I developed

56
00:04:03,58 --> 00:04:05,46
that system Mr Bines over eight years ago

57
00:04:05,46 --> 00:04:07,82
and it's work now all of
a sudden it's no good.

58
00:04:08,88 --> 00:04:13,27
Well this is probably my fault I did
say something to Joan about new ideas.

59
00:04:13,93 --> 00:04:17,01
Letter make suggestions. I'm
sure it's nothing personal.

60
00:04:17,40 --> 00:04:20,68
As far as you're concerned even the
other girls even there getting critical

61
00:04:20,68 --> 00:04:23,44
and I spent years getting those
files to where they are now ready.

62
00:04:24,29 --> 00:04:28,91
You've done a good job. We all think a lot
of you. We appreciate what you've done.

63
00:04:29,53 --> 00:04:33,48
I count on you to keep things
rolling out there. I tell you what.

64
00:04:33,60 --> 00:04:34,81
I'll talk to her

65
00:04:34,81 --> 00:04:42,09
and don't worry I'll talk to it by

66
00:04:42,09 --> 00:04:46,81
speaking. George Barnes is an
efficient conscientious man

67
00:04:48,22 --> 00:04:53,79
but he's also a busy man he didn't
talk to Joan that day or the next day

68
00:04:55,18 --> 00:04:56,71
or the next.

69
00:04:56,73 --> 00:05:00,20
As a matter of fact George Barnes thought
the whole thing would blow over.

70
00:05:01,25 --> 00:05:05,72
But he could avoid making a mountain out
of a molehill stopping a chain reaction of

71
00:05:05,72 --> 00:05:10,92
disharmony in his department by just
letting it alone and he could be right

72
00:05:11,81 --> 00:05:13,60
but one day a couple of weeks later.

73
00:05:14,75 --> 00:05:19,98
I don't find service companies monthly
in warranty report following your desk I

74
00:05:19,98 --> 00:05:26,21
can't find it anywhere.
Alpine. No I don't.

75
00:05:26,25 --> 00:05:27,44
There is nothing in the file.

76
00:05:27,63 --> 00:05:30,18
I've been looking in the file for
half an hour and I can find.

77
00:05:30,20 --> 00:05:32,07
It's one of your files are
you sure you're up to date.

78
00:05:32,31 --> 00:05:36,80
Yeah that's all I know I'm sorry
I forgot to tell you the girls

79
00:05:36,80 --> 00:05:39,93
and I were talking yesterday and we figured
out it would save time at the end.

80
00:05:39,93 --> 00:05:43,87
Morty reports were separated because well
they have to file a product that it way.

81
00:05:44,25 --> 00:05:49,86
Here let me show you all I need to know
is who do you think you are I think those

82
00:05:49,86 --> 00:05:53,50
files in the first place and let me tell
you Mr Barnes is going to hear about this.

83
00:05:55,92 --> 00:05:59,57
But Mr Barnes you changed the whole file
around I spend an hour looking for just

84
00:05:59,57 --> 00:06:03,08
one word. She's tearing down
everything I spent YEARS to build up.

85
00:06:03,33 --> 00:06:04,87
What did she say when you talk to.

86
00:06:04,88 --> 00:06:10,54
Well I did talk to or did you
know frankly I forgot to do it

87
00:06:10,54 --> 00:06:16,19
but my mind I thought a bit later than I
thought Well it'll probably take care of

88
00:06:16,19 --> 00:06:19,09
itself but I told you he
was becoming impossible.

89
00:06:19,11 --> 00:06:21,32
Mr Bangs I thought you
appreciated all I've done.

90
00:06:21,58 --> 00:06:26,61
I do I do but I just didn't expect
that resistance to new ideas.
