t is the policy of the e"ployer that all ne# "e"bers of the
organiation start atthe botto" and gradually #or/ their #ay up to
"ore i"portant obs. 0his policy
has been adopted because of the e%tre"e co"ple%ity of the
operation. 0he
e"ployer believes that a "anager, even after he has reached a
point #here he
delegates very broad po#ers to others, "ust have a fairly
detailed /no#ledge of
#hat needs to be done. 0his policy has been successful in "any
of the other
countries in #hich this e"ployer operates.

and have left
after only short periods of e"ploy"ents. t is your
