Men and women who do all the office work are called white-collar workers. Secretaries and receptionists, typists, bank tellers and computer operators work for many different kinds of companies. There are big banks that do business all over the world and small banks that serve a single neighborhood or a small town. The big insurance and industrial companies employ thousands of people who work in tall office buildings, while around the comer an employment agency or a manufacturer’s representative may have a staff of only half a dozen clerks.
Many office workers dream of working their way up to the top from clerk to president of the corporation. This way lies through middle management positions. Middle management includes junior executive, who fill specialized jobs, recommend action to top management, or see that the company’s policies are being carried out. At the very top are the senior executives. They establish policies for their companies, especially those that involve financial matters. The top managers of the large corporations have a great deal of power and influence.
