Well, there's still the labor / management divide. I doubt they mixed socially, which is probably where the workers worked out the signs in detail, over beers.

Well, there's still the labor / management divide. I doubt they mixed socially, which is probably where the workers worked out the signs in detail, over beers. Also, the bosses weren't always out on the floor, especially the big bosses. They were in the office where it's quieter, so they had no reason to learn the language in order to do their jobs.
- kqr 10y ago"Would you get Andrew into my office, please?" is a great way of not having to communicate on the noisy floor.
- djcapelis 10y agoYeah but everyone already knows what that one looks like. It's someone pointing at you and gesturing for you to get over there. Also if you're a supervisor in a sawmill, you probably don't ask someone working on the floor in a sawmill to go hunt someone down for you. You either do it yourself or send someone from the office to do it. The people on the floor have better shit to do.
