The employee is regarded by the employer merely in the light of his value as an operative. His productive capacity alone is taken into account.

Summary

This quote suggests that employers tend to view their employees solely in terms of their usefulness as workers. They primarily consider their value based on their ability to be productive and contribute to the organization's goals. Other aspects of the employee's identity or potential may not be given much importance, such as their interests, skills outside of work, or personal growth. The quote highlights a narrow perspective that focuses solely on the employee's productive capacity rather than acknowledging their individuality and other potential contributions.
