Pam and Julie worked at J & J’s Supermarket. Pam has worked there since 2017. Julie has worked there since 2019. Randy, their manager, has a
position open for head cashier making two dollars more an hour. He knows he is expected to give the job to Pam, who has been working there
for more years and is seldom late, even though she is out “sick” frequently. However, Julie—who has fewer years’ experience—is always on
time and is almost never absent.
If I were Randy then I would figure out which girl would be more crucial for the position and really take my time to figure out what each girl
brings, how is their overall behavior and motivation to the job, who could potentially do the job better and be more sufficient and not really base
it off the fact that one worked there longer then the other.
4. What are three goals can Pam set for herself in order to better manage her time at work?
- 1) set aside time to really get what she needs done before work
- 2) work with her manger to accommodate her schedule so that it works for her
- 3) make more of an effort when it comes to her job
