' Formerly, movie stars "were the only people known to have to
pass a screen "test- for success. Now, wife-screening, according
to .F.Orturce:ina - g;ailite;ls:-:beeoming a familiar corporation practice.
Ordinarily the screening, done to familiarize corporation bigwigs
with the influence the wife might have over a piospectiVe employee,
is done .via '"informal" social
visits
If it is impossible to call on
the woman in her own home, some
corporations invite the wi f e •to
come along with her husband for
his interview. Since she does not
know she is being scrutinized, she
does not realiTe that she .is un
dergoing quite an interview' when
speaking to' any of her husband's
prospective employers.
In businesses whose present
management group has been long
entrenched there is often a feeling
that an unwise choice of a couple
may upset the delicate social bal
ance achieved over the years.
Amusing as this attitude may
seem, it has been found that many
men are passed. up for jobs be
cause of the poor impressions
their wives made on the company,
the article states.
Some executives; skeptical of'
the value of this subjective pro
cess of screening, supplement it
with more objective investiga
tions; for example, checks on
credit ratings and on the popu
larity of the woman in the com
munity.
The effect of this surveillance
on the husband's career is sub
stantial. Typical examples of
faults found in wives are "she
ha's absolutely no sense of 'public
relations," or that she is "negative
pany."
Divorce r arely disqualifies a
in her attitude toward the com
mon; in fact, one company . has a
Boss Wary
policy of sending executives on
extended trips if they need sepa
ration from nagging or retrograde
wives.
Most executives consider t h e
screening process, important to
them as it is, a negative measure:
The positive factor, they believe,
is, to sell the wife •on the • corpor
ation's point of view. This is done
through such mediums as bro
chures, films, and .booklets on the
industry. .„
Other than selling wives on the
company, there is a stand to be
taken •on socializing among. com
pany wives. Some companies pre
fer them to be as. close as pos
sible, while others say the' less
seen of the women the better.
Conflicting Opinions
In
_t h e International Business
Machines Corp. the wives are "all
part of the business" and the peo
ple, in employment are referred to
as the "1.8. M. family," according
to Fortune. But an oil company
executive says,. regarding t h e
wife, "We are just as happy if we
never see her at all."
And so it goes. Some companies
consider the wife-screening busi
ness a• form of slavery, while
others think It thickens - the life
blood of the business. • -
A look at this article would be
a little disconcerting to the fian
cee about to marry a would-be
executive.
