He had been there three months when he made the request.
Just about everybody had a name tag that gave their title and the role they played within the company. He had never been offered one. After a week or two, he dropped the occasional hint, but this hadn’t done any good. As a result of him not having one, he had been showing a special interest in those worn by others around the place. He was beginning to learn people’s names and see what role they played. Doing this for several weeks made it even more crucial that he wore one himself. When his manager came into sight, he approached him.
However, before he had a chance to speak, his boss said, “I understand you’ve requested some sort of name tag, is that right?”
“Yes, I think it would be nice if people knew who I was and what my job is.”
“Nice?” He paused. “Why not, I’ll see what I can rustle up. We should have a few spares somewhere.”
On the following day, he was handed a small plastic tag.
Frowning, he said, “This only says ‘Spare’!”
“Yes. Well, we didn’t have any more badges in the cupboard, so I had that one printed.”
He looked back down at it. “What about my name?”
“I didn’t think your name was really necessary, considering.”
There’s my role… what about what I do.
Becoming agitated, his boss said, “Look, you just keep doing what you do now. You know, keep sweeping areas when you are asked to, help out with loading the trucks and help the ladies in despatch when they need a hand shifting boxes and packages, the way you do now.”
Thanking his manager, he went back to mopping the floor. He thought about his place in the world. He’d had a similar experience in his last job, when his main battery had run low. They hadn’t had any spares there, either. He’d been switched off for three days while they recharged his original battery.
Squeezing the mop out in his bucket, he sighed. He really had to accept his place in the world.
