This film tells the story of Frank Robbins, an office manager, who is tasked with selecting his best employee to manage a new plant. He has two qualified candidates: Harry Stevens, his oldest and most competent employee, and Bob Randolph, a younger, promising individual with excellent interpersonal skills. Despite recognizing Harry's superior technical ability and loyalty, Frank ultimately chooses Bob for the management position, believing his personality is better suited to the new environment and the need to win over strangers. Frank calls Harry in to explain his decision, praising Harry's work ethic but citing Bob's people skills as the deciding factor. This conversation leads to Harry, feeling undervalued despite his years of service and proven competence, announcing his resignation, leaving Frank stunned and questioning what he did wrong. Keywords: promotion, office politics, employee selection, interpersonal skills, competence, loyalty, resignation, management, decision making, workplace dynamics
