Too many bosses and not enough workersBefore I started my own painter's firm, I worked in a company that made plastic plates. My job was to mix the paint that would colour the plastic before it went into the production plant. Does this sound any easy job to you? Well, in theory, it was. However, my department had two managers and there was the head of R&D. All of them wanted to decide how I should do my job. At 8 o'clock, one of my department managers would give me my order for the day; at 8:30 the other department manager would come in with a new order that was much more important and had to be done at once. Shortly after that, Mark, head of R&D, would come down from his office and tell me to change the colour mixture. I tried explaining to each of my bosses why their orders were not finished but they never listened. However, one day I came up with a plan. I started working overtime and I worked every Saturday for double wages. I did this for six hard months and then I handed in my notice. I had saved enough money to start up my own business with only me as worker and boss!(1) (单选题)1.Why is the text entitled “Too many bosses and not enough worker'?
