The sandwich factory
By Jason Kennedy
The short story The Sandwich Factory is written by Jason Kennedy in 2007.
The plot takes place at a sandwich factory in 1994.. The narrator of the story, who we follow through the story is 1st person narrator, we gets his own view of the factory. One thing we should remember while reading the story is that we hear the thoughts and opinions from his point of view, so that doesn’t necessarily that it’s all true.
We know that he is a male only because someone at the factory wants to find him a female partner.
He works at the factory, so we meet him there.
He gives us an impression that the employees are no longer considered as humans nor individuals. They are just one of many. The narrator

In the words of our main character, he would run around with a knife, threatening him. It scared him, but at the same time it wasn’t a big deal at all, since he would casually ask customers if he had a knife in his back. Apparently the mad man drove a forklift, and that was a big deal. That meant he got more that double the payment compared to the other workers at the factory. He was also said to have forklift swagger, with a certain way of moving. In that way, our main character is not like the others at all, he wants to get out and he doesn’t think he is being treated right. The story ends with him leaving the factory and never coming back. There are definitely some symbols in the text. For example when he mentions the sandwiches. The narrator is mad about his job, his co-workers and the managers. He compares it to the tomatoes in the sandwich, stinging his soul with its acid. Thereafter he dreams of a place where he could stand and silently watch the tomatoes passing him, by with a note of a agony at the conveyer belt. I have chosen the text nice work, by David Lodge and the picture Relativity, which is painted by M.C. Escher. I find the picture and the text very comparable, because they’re both very monotone and gray. The picture illustrates the described factory. There is no individualism, no happiness or passion shown. The short story expresses the same feeling, it is very monotone. In the text nice work we read about Robyn Penrose’s visit to an automobile
Joey Franklin’s story is about his experience for working at Wendy’s. Franklin applies to work at Wendy’s, so he can take care of his son during the day, while his wife goes to school. In the beginning Franklin describes how easy the hiring process is for Wendy’s. All Franklin had to do was fill out an application, then the manager asked him two questions in the interview. Throughout the story Franklin describes the lives of the other employees. Each employee is working at Wendy’s for a different reason and they are not stereotypical fast food workers.

First, the crew members have a common feeling that they were being “used” by management because they knew that many general office workers were earning more money and working shorter hours than them. Meanwhile, they felt that their jobs were more challenging and more valuable than those general office workers’. So they were supposed to earn more money than those people.

Life as a factory worker is no easy task. The constant repetitive motion is a task that can drive any man insane. It also doesn’t help when your factory never wants you to get ahead of the scheduled routine. In the novel, “Rivethead”, Hamper spends majority of the time working in the factory for General Motors. His behavior on and off the job is extremely hyper masculine. Alcohol and exploitation play a big role in his life. The behaviors Hamper displays on and off the job are a result of depersonalizing work of the factory life. The disconnect between large factories and the individual worker, caused for a loss of freedom and hypermasculine behavior.

In the short story “the Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and the short story “blue + yellow” by Chris Killen compare in many ways. These two stories use the same literary device strongly such as imagery. Imagery is a literary device in which the author uses words and phrases to paint a picture in the readers head throughout the story. These two short stories are written with very descriptive language to help paint a picture of the occurrences in the story and describe a scene. These two stories also contrast in many ways such as the way they use symbolism as well as the relationships between the characters in both stories.

Bread for the City is more like a network organization. The networked organization is one that connects together by informal networks and the demands of the task, rather than a formal organizational structure. The network organization prioritizes its “soft structure” of relationships, networks, teams, groups and communities rather than reporting lines. It is more a statement of intent to get things done flexibly rather than to rely on structure. “George A. Jones has been Chief Executive Officer of Bread for the City (BFC) since January 2, 1996.

Subway Sandwich, as presented in the Case Study presented in the Marketing Management MGT 551 class, is an undisputed market leader in a segment that is “firmly established as a nationwide food item for which there is plenty of room in all areas” (University of Phoenix, 2008). However, with a growing competition, changing consumer trends and increased product specialization, Subway’s real strategic marketing challenge is to be able to develop and maintain a differential advantage while sustaining sales growths and profitability.
