TOPIC: ARGUMENT241 - The following appeared in a memo at the XYZ company.
"When XYZ lays off employees, it pays Delany Personnel Firm to offer those employees assistance in creating resumés and developing interviewing skills, if they so desire. Laid-off employees have benefited greatly from Delany's services: last year those who used Delany found jobs much more quickly than did those who did not. Recently, it has been proposed that we use the less-expensive Walsh Personnel Firm in place of Delany. This would be a mistake because eight years ago, when XYZ was using Walsh, only half of the workers we laid off at that time found jobs within a year. Moreover, Delany is clearly superior, as evidenced by its bigger staff and larger number of branch offices. After all, last year Delany's clients took an average of six months to find jobs, whereas Walsh's clients took nine."

In this memo, the writer assert the use Walsh Personnel Firm(Walsh) to replace Delany to service for the lays off employees is a mistake. To support his assertion, the writer repeatedly relates that the time that Delany clients use to find a job is less than that of Walsh. And the writer also cites other information to indicate Delany is better than Walsh, but these information cannot sustain the writer's point well.
First, quality of services is not only based on the time which clients use to find jobs. Whether employees have really job search skills is more important. For example, indeed clients in Delany find jobs more quickly than Walsh's, but Delany's guiders may just help clients finish their resumes, instead of guiding their clients to finish their resumes by themselves, contrary Walsh's guiders demand their clients to learn more to write resumes. It is obvious that the latter one is better, because these clients also get skills, not only a job. Also, just the time of finding jobs are not the really judgment of these two companies. Image, if clients in Delany find jobs more quickly indeed, but after several months, they consider that these jobs are not very or not suitable to them, can we say that Delany is good? On the contrary, although Walsh's clients takes more than 3 months to find jobs, the avenge qualities of jobs may better than that of Delany's.
Another fault in the memo is that the writer compares the circumstances of Walsh eight years ago and that of Delany now. This is ridiculous, how can he do this? In the eight years, many things have been change and there may more jobs for people than before. Although eight years ago Delany is better than Walsh, this makes no sense, because conditions in eight years ago cannot illustrate that the condition now. Maybe, after so many years' development, Walsh now is better than Delany.
In sum, the writer’s point is weak, though he repeatedly stress that the time cost to find jobs in Delany is shorter. Time cannot be the valid evidence to illustrate Delany’s good services, and this is the fatal flaw of this memo. |
