Extract

The employees of this profitable and technologically advanced factory seem satisfied with their relatively high salaries, bonuses and allowances, and pleased with the extensive benefits and services given by the factory. In particular, the bonus system of this factory offers factory-wide, production-group and individual bonuses that seem to offer adequate incentives for the improvement of both productivity and quality, two key goals in the present nationwide economic reform. The possibility and means of improving status and income through study, hard work and innovation have been effective in encouraging many employees to apply their efforts and talents to their jobs and to study after work in the hope of qualifying for higher education in the case of technical workers, and for higher technical and language proficiency levels in the case of technicians and engineers.

The relatively high standard of living of this factory's employees seems to have dampened outspoken criticism of its leaders and policies. Continued increases in remuneration and benefits should keep the employees satisfied in the immediate future.
