In a unit the operations for a particular section were withheld for a certain period. The section was doubling and twisting yarns as per market requirement. Due to the cut in production, about 25 operators were excess and they were adjusted to different departments like Mixing, Blow room Carding, Rig frame. Mr. Rahman an operator was assigned to Carding department. When Mr. Rahman reported to Carding department, Mr. Khan said to him, I do not know whether you will stay here. We have sufficient men and we do not really need any extra person. But I will see that you may be accommodated for doffing or sweeping. So as an operator for a few days, Rahman tried to help other operators for doffing purpose. In the end of the week, Mr. Khan told Rahman, I have got news for you. One operator has left the job, so we will be able to engage you on the m/c from Monday. On Monday, Mr. Khan assigned Rahman to Carding m/c. Apparently the job was very easy, it was only to feed the laps from blow room and replacement of full cans with empty one at delivery end. Here said Mr. Khan to Rahman, watch me do this operation. Its as easy as ABC. A trainee can also do the same job. I sometimes think that a trainee would be better than an experienced operator. Mr. Khan explained slowly to Rahman what was happening. After dong it personally, he asked Rahman to do the same operation and said, Now try it. Rahman performed the job in a correct way. Mr. Khan said, Here, I told you there is nothing to do. You can do this job in your sleep also. That was the last time Mr. Khan spoke to Rahman until Friday. Between Monday and Friday, the following things happened to Rahman: I) Three times break-down on the machine. II) Very low productivity IV) Higher naps Rahman used to manage the job with the help of other operators. On Friday as he was putting the laps on the Card one of his fingers was caught under the

nip of feed rolls and he got a severe injury of fractures. That was when Mr. Khan found time to talk to Rahman once again. Questions- Q1: How do you think Rahman feel about his new job? His new boss? Q2: In what way were the incidents that happened to Rahman between Monday and Friday afternoon related to his training?
