The question of post-war jobs — especially for returning vet

post-war opportunities
- Our own job security plan for Esso Marketers’ employees now
in uniform went into operation the day after Pearl Harbor. It has worked so well for
so long that we want to pass our experience along.
* *
In general, it is based on the idea that we are saving his place for our fighting man
while he’s away, whether he volunteered, was drafted, or was called up as a reservist.
Chief features of the plan are these...
1. Each employee who has been with us a year or
longer is given two months’ salary as he enters the
armed forces.
2. His dependents receive monthly payments from
the company while he is away—up to half of his
former company pay.
3. Each employee has been assured by letter from
our company president that his old job—or another
as good or better—will be waiting for him. Experi
ence gained in the Armed Forces may result in
his immediate advancement.
i
4. His Tights in company retirement and benefit
plans are protected while he is away.
Details of the plan have been put into a book
let which we shall be glad to send you *
Soon we will announce in this newspaper fur
• ther plans for making some good new jobs in the
oil business affer the war.
As we see it today, next to winning the war
itself, nothing is more important than the matter
of post-war jobs.
