You hold a job in a Scientology organization by doing your job.
HOW TO HOLD YOUR JOB Your hat is your hat.
him by verbal or written comm exactly what you did. You stole his hat for a
moment.
Well, always give it back.
Remember, in a Scientology organization every Scientologist on staff
potentially
wears not just his own but every hat in the organization. He has to know
more jobs
than his own. Particularly jobs adjacent to his post. He often has to do
more jobs than
his own because those jobs have to be done and he sees it. A non-
Scientology member
of an organization is only limited in what he can do in the organization by
lack of
know-how. But the limitation is applicable only to instruction and
auditing. But a
Scientologist: he may find himself wearing any hat in the place including
mine. And
others may now and then wear his hat.
A staff member gets the job done of (1) his own post, (2) his
department, and (3)
the whole organization.
People who are always off line and off post aren't doing their own jobs.
When we
find somebody always off post and in our hair we know if we look at his
post we'll
find a rat's nest. So there are extremes here as well.
HOW TO HOLD YOUR JOB
Your hat is your hat. It is to be worn. Know it, understand it, do it.
Make it real.
If it isn't real it is your fault since you are the one to take it up and
get it clean with an
Executive. If he doesn't straighten it up so you can do it, it's still your
fault if it's not
done.
You hold a job in a Scientology organization by doing your job. There
are no
further politics involved-at least if I find out about it there aren't. So
do your job and
you've got a job. And that's the way it is.
But on post or off, we only fail when we do not help. The "public" only
objects
to us when we fail to help or when we fail to answer their questions. So we
have two
stable data on which we operate whether we are on post or not:
HELP PEOPLE!
ANSWER PEOPLE'S QUESTIONS EXACTLY!
When you don't you let everybody down.
NEATNESS OF QUARTERS
- THE PUBLIC KNOWS US BY OUR MEST -
A part of everyone's hats is keeping a good mock-up in people, offices,
classrooms, quarters.
Keep your desk and your Mest neat and orderly. It helps.
And when you see things getting broken down or run down or dirty, fix
them or
clean them or if you can't, yell like hell on the right comm line.
THE DISPATCH SYSTEM
The Dispatch System is not there to plague you but to help you.
Except when you've got to have speed, never use an inter-office phone to
another
terminal. And never write a dispatch and present it and you at some other
point at the
same time. That's "off-line" just as a phone is "off-line". A good use of
the
organization's lines reduces confusion. The other guy is busy, too. Why
interrupt him
or her unnecessarily with routine that should go on the lines. You'll
usually get an
answer in the same day or at least in 24 hours. The organization's comm
lines are
