Jim Tate has been hired as a secretary supervisor for a big entertainment company called NTC and is currently facing troubles from one of his senior clerks, Susan Star. A graduate of Bennington College, Susan Star was hired as a senior clerk, with the promise that in a year she could expect a promotion to a secretarial position. However, her work has become worse over the last couple of weeks, even if in the first few weeks, she had shown enthusiasm and good skills. Her attitude is not much better: she snaps at Jim Tate, her boss, and does not seem to follow his instructions. All these have made Jim demand that she was fired from the company. Even so, the answer he received from Ann Brook was not that encouraging.
We know that Susan had turned in excellent work in the first couple of days at work, so the main problem here, in my opinion, is a question of motivation. Tate does not know how to motivate the people working in his suborder. As it is pointed out, three other secretaries are categorized as "lemons" and, even if we do not have any evidence about their work, we may assume that it is also a question of how well they are being motivated. Further more, Tate does not seem to have the managerial skills needed for his position and does not know how to work with his personnel.
In this sense, the best thing to do would be to move Tate in another position within the company, preferably not a position of leadership and high management. He could work, for example, in the management division. As I have pointed out above, the main issue is not really whether Susan is doing well on her typing or not, but the fact that, with the exception of one, no secretary seems to be doing a good job with Tate as boss. It is not really something that degrading, but not everybody has managerial skills. He will probably do a much better job in another position within the company.
To paraphrase something T.S. Eliot said about literary classics, we know more than we did in the sixties -- and the sixties are most of what we know. Taking the good with the bad then became the beginning of the end of an era of excess that began like so many other ideas with good intentions and led to a wayward and destructive social and cultural path. Some took from
He simply cannot escape these expectations. So, when Robert DeNiro takes on a comedic role, such as the role of the potential father-in-law in Meet the Parents, the moment he comes on the screen, the audience is aware that he is Robert DeNiro, in addition to the character that is being portrayed. Therefore, his character can do things that other characters could not. Who but Robert DeNiro could portray
The Help: Film Review and Discussion The film The Help (2011), which was adapted for the screen and directed by Tate Taylor from the novel by Kathryn Stockett attempts to tackle heavy complex subject matter from a questionable perspective. The film is set in the 1960s in Jackson Mississippi, two details that make the film as loaded and complex as it can possibly be. The 1960s were the Civil Rights era
