How good is to have satisfaction of being your own boss and possibly having something to pass to down to your children someday.

Binney & Smith (B&S) operates a plant in Lindsay, Ontario, to produce crayons. Their Crayola brand is familiar to almost all pre-schoolers and elementary school children in North America. In 1992, the production goals for the Lindsay plant were doubled, to 4 million 16-stick boxes of assorted-color crayons. Little more than a year earlier, the plant produced about a quarter of that volume. Maybe somewhat surprisingly, employees have been very receptive to these much higher production goals. These employees, most of whom have been with the company for at least ten years, indicate that they’re more excited about their jobs and more satisfied with their working lives than ever before. Workers at B&S traditionally knew their own jobs well, and many of these jobs were repetitive and unchallenging. For instance, one job is to run the machine which glues labels to crayon sticks— 172 labels per minute. The label-gluing machine operator was an expert at his job but knew little about the other jobs in the plant. To get the increased production, management redesigned the label gluing machine operator’s job and almost everybody elses. Workers in the Lindsay plant now do their jobs in teams and are encouraged to learn the jobs of everyone else on their team. Team members regularly rotate jobs to increase their skills and reduce boredom. These teams have taken on the responsibility for solving their work problems. And employees in the plant now also have taken charge of tracking production, changing layouts as needed to solve quality problems, and conceiving and implementing cost reduction ideas like recycling waste. Employees receive no financial or material rewards for accepting these new changes. What they do get is increased recognition, the opportunity to learn new tasks, and greater control over their work. The results have been extremely encouraging for both employees and management. Employees have increased job satisfaction and self-esteem. And the plant has more than doubled its profit in the first year of these new changes. Additionally, employees at Lindsay now have greater job security than they had before because the plant has eliminated the 15 to 25 percent cost disadvantage it previously labored under compared to the company’s sister plants in the United States.

Questions

1. B&S’s historical turnover rate has been very low. Why do you think that is? Shouldn’t a plant with boring and repetitive jobs like gluing 172 labels a minute on crayon sticks have high absenteeism and turnover?

2. Explain why, in spite of tremendously high new production goals, B&S employees seem more satisfied with their jobs than ever.

3. What according to you is the role of the employees attitude in shaping his/her behavior towards his/her work?

1. Diotima argues that love is a philosopher. Explain (204A-D).

2. Diotima argues that "all of us are pregnant” and desire “to give birth to beauty, whether in body or soul” (206C). How does this idea of 'pregnancy' fulfill her definition of love as "wanting to possess the good forever" at 206A? How one can give birth both bodily and spiritually?

3. Diotima's speech ends with a story about love's journey towards fulfillment known as 'Diotima's Ladder.' What are the stages of this ladder (210B-E)? What is at the top (211A-D)? How would Plato answer this question: Are the things at the bottom of the ladder really lovable in the fullest sense of the word?
