what is a systems analyst what do you do well we design the computer systems that keep nbc running
oh you do yeah and how are things running so far just great now uh what was the job you had before
this designing systems for a bank for a bank now how does this compare with the bank work
far more glamorous for more exciting and far more interesting all right now i have a little a little
surprise for you the first of many tonight do you know do you know your official id number
here at nbc no they told me they'd tell me about two weeks from now well we were able to pull some
strings wendy that's right get a hold of yourself there is your official nbc id number 523-884
now you don't you don't actually work in this building do you no i don't know where do you work
over in the uris building you know where is the earth building for folks who just woke up oh it's
a couple blocks from here a couple of blocks are made they like to keep us separate yeah but you
nonetheless you feel as though you're part of the nbc family oh definitely we eat lunch in the
commissary almost every day that's well well we'll see how long you keep that up wendy when when
people found out that we were going to welcome a new employee to the company uh they wanted also to
say hello so uh through the miracle of videotape i would like you now to uh have uh some greetings
from some fellow nbc employees take a look at the monitor here at home use your television set
hello wendy i hope this is the beginning of a long and fruitful association for you with a network
faith trust and commitment these are the watchwords of a good employee
just remember faith and trust in our policies even if they strike you as a bit unorthodox
will ensure you that you get your piece of the company pie so welcome aboard wendy but don't
rock the boat highway i'd like to talk to you for just a minute about teamwork and it kind
of works the same way as it does in sports takes a group effort from all nbc employees to make a true
winner now that means following the game plan without any question at all and uh perhaps looking
the other way when a member of your team say uh willett scott bends the rules just a little bit
play ball with us wendy no one gets hurt and again congratulations on the new job
to play it safe you stay out of my way and i'll stay on yours
uh maybe it's too early to ask you this question but what so far is the most rewarding part of your
job up there just working with the people they're really really great very warm very friendly
now you know how early on you can make uh you can form opinions and feelings is there somebody
that you've already singled out as in down the road somewhere getting on your nerves pretty bad
i don't think i should start saying so so early oh but you get kind of
a feeling there might be a problem not no you don't have to name the person or anything but
not really people are so warm here
okay no no we don't want to we don't want to beat the enthusiasm out of this woman too soon well
um now anybody who is hired on here to nbc as a new employee a first timer uh goes through
an indoctrination period and you get to see the nbc training film did you see the training film
not yet haven't seen the training film all right tonight wendy you are going to see the official
nbc training film again if we can roll that film
uh this is what you would see as a new employee to this fine television
welcome to the glamorous and exciting world of network television as an nbc employee you'll
be working with skilled technicians and marvelous stars in one of the world's most modern broadcast
facilities but remember the basic do's and don'ts of office etiquette apply here as
anywhere for instance a well-rounded employee doesn't spend all his time on office matters
but takes time out to check on the world of sports mmm chocolate not only delicious but
just the pick-me-up you need to stay alert and cheerful for the entire business day an occasional
yawn proves you've been putting in long hours and will score valuable points with your superiors
hey anyone for fun nothing perks up an office like a good practical joke hey this place is haunted
looks like the joke's on me female employees
in particular should work hard at maintaining a neat and attractive appearance hmm very nice
and if you would want to advance quickly up the nbc ladder take an interest in the work of others
you know you shouldn't do that jimmy do what don't worry jimmy she won't be working
here long because unlike you she doesn't know the basic rules of office etiquette
that's the uh
before we get carried away i'd like you to have a late night plastic collapsible drinking cup
i'm going to give you three of them there and uh also a couple of late nights with
david letterman sponges those would be nice so you can use these uh at the office and uh
