MANAGER’S WORKING DAY

Mr Price stood at the window of his office. He had stopped working at last. The building was empty. Everyone has gone home by half past five. Now it was half past six and the street below had emptied.

What a busy day he had had! He had arrived at the office well before nine o'clock. Why, before nine o'clock he had made two telephone calls! The other offices were still empty when he had phoned, so, of course, nobody had answered the telephone. Poor Mr Price!

But then he had opened all the correspondence. By ten o'clock, he had dictated replies to nearly all the letters. When Miss King left the room, he had started to make telephone calls again. By the time the Acting Manager sent for him, he had talked to three of the buyers. When the Acting Manager had asked him for information about stocks, he had been able to give the information from memory. He was sure the Acting Manager had noticed that!

By one o'clock, he had examined the figures from the production sheets and he had signed a dozen letters for Miss King. By two o'clock, he had had his lunch and he had done a lot more work on those production figures. By three o'clock, he had found two mistakes! By four o'clock, he had seen both the Production Manager and the Foreman. He had asked them for an explanation. He had pointed out that the explanation was urgent. By ten o'clock tomorrow, the corrected figures must be on his desk. Mr Price sighed. What a load of responsibility he had!

Mr Price sighed again. Tomorrow he must make more telephone calls; he must dictate more letters; he must try again to speak to the Acting Assistant Manager. But now he must go home. He put on his coat and his hat. He picked up his attache case and his umbrella and went to the door. He locked the door and walked towards the lift. Then he stopped. He had turned off the electric fire near his desk. It was a quarter to seven. Really, he worked too hard!

THE LIFE OF EXECUTIVES FROM THREE COUNTRIES

Olof van Velde, 53, is a deputy director at Heineken, the Dutch brewing company. His salary, including a fixed bonus and holiday allowance, is 180,000 guilders (guldens), or $63,000. "That puts me in the top 2.5 per cent in Holland," he says.

Van Velde and his wife live in a big brick house in the town of Bussum, 13 miles outside Amsterdam. In the US their house would cost $300,000, he estimates. He has a five-week vacation and spends two weeks skiing in the winter and three weeks in the south of France in the summer.

Van Velde objects to Holland's social welfare system, saying that it consumes over 60 per cent of the nation's income and is destroying the work ethic. Marginal taxes are as high as 70 per cent. Despite such disadvantages, van Velde thinks that Holland is a good country for kids to grow up in. He says, "We're all grumbling, but no one's leaving." Van Yelde's only perks (льготы) are a car - currently a Ford Granada - and four cases of Heineken beer a month. 

Akio Otake, 42, is an executive at Toyo Kogyo, the Japanese auto firm that makes the Mazda. As head of a 12-man section in charge of the company's domestic advertising, he has the rank of kacho, or section chief, reporting to a bucho, or department chief. The two men have desks alongside each other in an open office.

Otake says his total cash compensation is 8.5 million yen a year, or $35,780, low by American standards. He notes that it wouldn’t make much difference whether he was good at his job or not, since Japanese firms don't pay according to results. "Executives are not paid much more than line workers," he says a bit ruefully.

Otake lives with his wife and two children in suburban Saitama and commutes 75 minutes to his Tokyo office by bus and subway. Their house, which they bought a few years ago for $85,000 has three rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs. Otake could have obtained a 4 % to 5 % housing loan from the company - available to all employees.

Otake entertains lavishly in Tokyo's Ginza district several times a week at peak entertainment seasons. His company picks up colossal tabs - sometimes to the tune of $2,000 - for such evenings. On weekends he plays tennis with his wife at a neighbourhood court.

Erik Nilsson, 50, has been president of a Sweden's largest chemical company for 11 years. Last year his salary was about one million crones, or $130,000. He drives a company-furnished Volvo 760; his wife, who owns a fashion boutique, drives a Honda. They live in an eight-room apartment in the exclusive section of Stockholm. In addition to their main residence, the Nilssons own a summer cottage in an old fishing village, overlooking the waters of the Kattegat, which separates Sweden from Denmark. Nilsson prefers swimming in the sea to pools and is an avid golfer. He is entitled by law to five weeks of vacation but usually takes only three to four. He generally spends at least one week skiing in Austria with his wife.

Nilsson won't say how much tax he pays, but suggests that an investment in a building project helps reduce the bite. "We love living in Sweden," he says. "Taxes are a nuisance, but we live a decent life. You can only eat one steak a day anyway."
