“Making It A Better Place To Be”
During the past month – rain, snow, sleet, or hail – the Factory Manager, Robert Mazaika, held a number of meetings with employees in the plant at midday and dawn. The weather made little difference as the groups gathered out of bewilderment and curiosity to hear what he had to say.
Signs Appear in Plant
Throughout the plant a number of signs have appeared and each day brings a new one. The signs – especially the big round yellow “Happiness is… sign – that greets employees at the Tire Gate entrance – are part of a program, as Factory Manager Robert Mazaika puts it, “to make the plant a better place to be,” a phrase that is repeated at every meeting.
Chemical Plant Spirit
While there has always been a spirit of pride at the Naugatuck Chemical Plant, it has been evident in recent months. The yellow “Happiness is…” sign painted on a tank greets employees at the Tire Gate in the morning and wishes them good-night when they leave for home.
Webster’s Dictionary defines Flagship as “the finest, largest, or most important.” The plant’s goal is to make it No. 1 in the Company and a “better place to be.” The flag was designed by Thomas Dowling’s daughter, Roberta.
