    Guy Viskniskki Survey (2 of 3)

    Manuscripts

    1 item: Viskniskki was an "efficiency expert," a role which today might be called a consultant. In 1934 his group released a wide-ranging report (480 pp., subject index on pp. 1 - 2) on the operations of LAT titled "A Survey of the Los Angeles Times." The report contains segments on the buildings, specific departments, employment policies, morale, etc. Viskniskki even tackled the touchy subject of nepotism, pointing out that a full 10% of LAT's employees at the time were relatives of Chandlers or other high-ranking executives, and pointing out the drawbacks of the situation. This report was originally labeled "Confidential." Split into three folders.
