Arcadia Plastics follows the philosophy of transferring employees from job to job within the company. Management believes that job rotation deters employees from feeling that they are stagnating in their jobs and promotes a better understanding of the company. A computer services employee typically works for six months as a data librarian, one year as a systems developer, six months as a database administrator, and one year in systems maintenance. At that point, he or she is assigned to a permanent position.
