Coffee Break

"What can be done about the coffee break?" That's the vital, perhaps unanswerable, question explored in the 1958 Calvin Company Training Film that counters the efficiency needs of management against the reality of human social behavior. The bosses' real pet peeve? Women.

"The problem? Well it seems like some people just don't know how to tell time, and, according to the boss, it's costing the company thousands of dollars per year." That extra five minutes here, that ten minutes there, really adds up.
