Becky is a college student who works part-time at Mark's Pizzeria. Mark, the owner of the restaurant, has treated Becky very well. He gave her a job that she needs to help pay her rent when no other business would employ her because she was arrested for shoplifting three years ago. Mark also lets Becky work around her school schedule, and has asked if she wants to be a shift manager in the summers. Becky's roommate Jim also works at the pizzeria, but Jim has been causing a lot of problems at work. He always avoids doing his job, treats customers rudely, and makes a lot of mistakes with orders. Jim recently began stealing food from the pizzeria. Two days ago the pizzeria was short- staffed, so Jim and Becky were the only employees left at closing time. Jim made 10 extra pizzas and took them home to a party he was hosting without paying for them. Becky feels like she needs to do something about Jim's behavior. However, Becky is hesitant to tell Mark about Jim because Jim is a good friend to Becky. Becky also needs Jim to have a job so he can pay his portion of their rent. Becky does not know what to do.

Becky should tell Mark, in confidence, about the problem with Jim stealing. Mark is not obligated to tell Jim how he found out about the theft, as it could have been discovered a number of ways (i.e. inventory, surveillance).

Becky can talk to Jim about his behavior without making him feel lousy; if he refuses to listen, than going to Mark would be the right thing to do.

Becky could tell Jim that he needs to either stop stealing & start working better otherwise she's going to tell the boss what he's doing - and if he threatens to move out she can contact her landlord & still make him responsible for all of his portions ofthe rent otherwise she could sue him.

Becky should first sit with Jim to discuss his behavior at work and ask him what are the reasons behind his behavior. If it is something that can be negotiated with Mark, then Becky could convince Jim to come to some agreement with him.

I believe that she should tell on Jim even though it will jeopordize their friendship. Jim isn't a good friend and needs to learn that taking advantage of people is wrong. Becky should not be concerned about losing the part of the rent but if that shouldhappen THEN she should be concerned but not until it happens. It really usually isn't that hard to find a roomate and even if it is where she lives her integrety and reputation are more important in the scheme of things.

Becky should go to Jim and explain her predicament, he is her friend, but she also has certain responsibilities at her job that she takes seriously. She should tell him that stealing the pizzas and being a bad employee are not good/healthy behaviors and tat he should try to improve his job performance. She should not tell Mark unless the incident happens again, but after that it will be her duty to tell Mark.

I would not take an authoritative approach of "telling" Jim his behavior needs to improve. Instead, I would try to approach Jim and try to let him know how much his behavior stresses me out, make sure he is at least aware of the consequences his behavior s having. If he fails to acknowledge his behavioral consequences or doesn't care enough to change for Becky, then I would give him the ultimatum to either start being a good employee, or "turn" him in to the boss herself. Meanwhile I would be doing my bes to find a new roommate to move in or somewhere I could move out to, for a backup plan.

First of all, Becky should have talked to Jim much earlier regarding his inappropriate behavior. However, since she allowed the situation to elaborate, she should first give Jim a brief chance to make it up by having him pay for the pizzas. If he does, i is a win-win for Becky since she gets to keep her job, her roommate = half the rent, without having to worry about hurting her relationship with Mark.
However, if Jim refuses to pay, she can either try to a) blackmail him or b) go straight to Mark. Blckmailing may put Becky at risk since she already has a record of shoplifting, especially if there is no evidence that Jim took the pizzas himself. If Becky goes and tells Mark right away, she will be able to preserve her long standing relationship with hm and prove to him that her "criminal" past is really behind her. However, since Jim will probably lose his job, given his problematic work behavior at the pizzeria, he will most likely be unable to pay his half of the rent or simply move out altogether.
If Becky does not find a suitable roommate quickly, she will be forced to temporary go into debt. In Becky's case this would be the lesser of two evils, since if she simply stays quite about the case she is being entirely unfair to Mark; and is also at isk of multiple negative consequences such as, her losing the job and further hurting her chances of getting a new one.

Becky should talk to her manager about implementing a rewards/restrictions system for employees. Giving rewards for being friendly with customers, having the correct amount of money in the register at close, showing effort, etc. would make employees, inclding Jim, to maybe work harder or be more concerned with their actions of work. Rewards could include acknowledgements, awards, food, bonuses, etc. There should also be restrictions placed on employees. Warnings or write-ups should be given for any unwantd behavior or consistent order mistakes due to inattentions should be given. Security cameras could also be put in place for the problem of stealing food or even money from the register. Since the manager obviously has trust and respect for Becky by makin her shift manager and hiring her despite her record, her plan would have a good chance of her manager listening to and considering it.

I would say that Becky should first talk to Jim about his behavior at work and tell him to try and do better. If it doesn't get better to tell Mark what is going on and let Mark deal with Jim. I hope Becky doesn't lose her friend, a roommate and a job becuse of one situation.

Talk to Jim first about his behavior and getting his work done. Give him only one chance and if he blows it go to Mark and tell him the situation with rent. If Becky tells Mark about Jim, Mark may be grateful and give Becky a raise.

Becky should tell Mark that she suspects that Jim has been stealing. That way Mark can keep an eye and watch Mark and make sure he is doing his job properly, and Jim would not know that Becky was the one who told Mark that he was stealing pizzas. Mark cold then deal with the situation and Becky could feel like she helped out.

I think Becky needs to talk to her boss to tell him what happened, but explain to him that she needs Jim to have a job since he is paying for rent. Also i think she should add in that she does not want her relationship to be ruined over this issue. Her bos should be understanding of Becky's feelings and respect that she told him.

The best thing Becky could do is to talk to Jim about his behavior on the job. She needs to explain to him how important it is that they both remain employed to carry out their responsibilites, and that his behavior can cause him to lose his job. Becky neds to explain to Jim that she values their friendship, however, if he does not clean up his act, she may have to tell the manager.

Becky could talk to Jim about the problem first, stating that both of their jobs are on the line if the problem continues and that she is just looking out for their best interest as friends, coworkers, and roommates. If Jim does not improve his work perfrmance, then Becky should talk to Mark, explaining that she had already talked to Jim about the situation. If Becky is concerned that Jim cannot pay his portion of the rent, she may need to find a new roommate.

A solution would be to type a letter not saying who it is from saying people have been stealing from the store and have the manager find it. That way hopefully Jim will confuse when he is confronted about it.

Instead of going directly to Mark about the situation, Becky might want to first address the issue with Jim. Due to them being friends it can be hard, but there should also be some respect that they have for you. Instead of "telling" on them, addressing te issue might be more affective and even using telling Mark as a leverage to show the negatives and how serious the situation is.

Becky is a college student who works part-time at Mark's Pizzeria. Mark, the owner of the restaurant, has treated Becky very well. He gave her a job that she needs to help pay her rent when no other business would employ her because she was arrested for shoplifting three years ago. Mark also lets Becky work around her school schedule, and has asked if she wants to be a shift manager in the summers. Becky's roommate Jim also works at the pizzeria, but Jim has been causing a lot of problems at work. He always avoids doing his job, treats customers rudely, and makes a lot of mistakes with orders.

Becky needs to confront Jim about his stealing and tell him that if he does not confess to Mark, she will. This will force Jim to confess to his stealing to his boss himself or make Becky more trustworthy to Mark. Becky should then look for a cheaper aprtment or new roommate and know that next time not to work at the same place as your roommate.

Solution:
Let Jim know he can not continue to do this because if they are shot supplies/money, they will go out of business and they both need the money. If he contines, she needs to privately speak to her boss about the issue.

Becky should go to Mark and tell him what's going on, but her concerns as well. Then go to Jim and tell him that his behavior is unacceptable.

Becky needs to go talk to Jim when he is actually doing these things at work. He may not even know that she knows. If they really are good friends they should be able to talk about whats going on and why he wants to get them both fired. She could start hiting to the manager whats going on without giving names. She could threaten Jim with getting him fired even though it would hurt her as well. A person who does these things at work under your watch and doesn't want you to say anything really is not your fiend.

Becky should tell her boss the complete situation. She should tell her boss that she is living with Jim, and that she needs Jim to help pay the other half of the rent. This would explain to her boss why she is hesitant in telling on him. But, the rightthing to do would be to tell her boss. If Jim gets fired Becky could offer to help him find another job if he wanted her help. Otherwise, Becky needs to find another roommate.

I would discuss with jim that you need this job and that he work ethics or lack there of is effecting your job. Allow jim to confess to whats been going on and if he doesnt let him now that yu will do it for him. A friend like that is not worth keeping. Tlk to your boss about what been going on and let him know that you feel its inappropriate if you dont say anything you will probably both be fired.

Becky should try talking to Jim and tell him that he needs to pay for the items he stole and own up to the manager. If Jim doesn't change Becky should say something to the manager and have him talk to Jim and hopefully he will do a better job.

I believe that Becky needs to tell mark about the issue because if she doesn't then mark will find out on his own and he will most likely assume that she was apart of stealing the pizzas. She can always find another roommate but finding a job with her recrd is obviously difficult.

Becky is a college student who works part-time at Mark's Pizzeria. Mark, the owner of the restaurant, has treated Becky very well. He gave her a job that she needs to help pay her rent when no other business would employ her because she was arrested for shoplifting three years ago. Mark also lets Becky work around her school schedule, and has asked if she wants to be a shift manager in the summers. Becky's roommate Jim also works at the pizzeria, but Jim has been causing a lot of problems at work. He always avoids doing his job, treats customers rudely, and makes a lot of mistakes with orders. Jim recently began stealing food from the pizzeria. Two days ago the pizzeria was short- staffed, so Jim and Becky were the only employees left at closing time. Jim made 10 extra pizzas and took them home to a party he was hosting without paying for them. Becky feels like she needs to do something about Jim's behavior. However, Becky is hesitant to tell Mark about Jim because Jim is a good friend to Becky. Becky also needs Jim to have a job so he can pay his portion of their rent. Becky does not know what to do.

Becky should talk to Jim about his behavior and inform him that if he does not stop stealing food from the pizzeria, she will have to let their manager know.

the solution would be to talk to jim and tell him all the great things the owner has done for them and get him to appreciate those things and tell him they cant steal pizzas or shes going to have to inform the owner.

In order to avoid this problem in the future, once Becky is the manager, she can possible move Jim to the early shift. That way there will be no time to take pizzas home if he isn't closing the place.

What I would do in Becky's situation would be to approach Jim and explain to him that stealing is wrong and because she does know the consequences of stealing. If he doesn't take it seriously tell the boss.

A creative solution would be to tell Jim to straighten up and fly right. Tell jim to stop stealing pizzas and do his job correctly. If jim can't do this then he shouldn't be living with becky.

Becky should try and find Jim a new job suited for his needs. She should encourage Jim that because the pizzeria is not the place for him he should try and find a new job. Convince Jim that the job at the pizzeria is not a good choice for him and mention he frustrations he must face with the customers (Since he is rude to them, he obviously does not enjoy his job). Once Jim gets hired with a new job he may just quit the pizzeria job. But if he does not, then it is Becky's responsibility to go and tell Mar about Jim's behavior and let him realize that Jim has been a bad employee. Since Mark has been so good to Becky, she will be able to ask him not to tell Jim that she informed him of his bad behavior. However, if Becky has any doubt that Mark will not beleve her since she has a history of shoplifting herself, and she fears that Mark will think she was responsible for stealing pizzas with Jim, she should propose that Mark set up security cameras in the pizzeria so he can view Jim's bad behavior and judge te situation accordingly.

Becky needs to address Jim inadequate work ethic by talking to the manager in private first, and telling him only about his laziness and if that doesnt change, then telling her manager about Jim stealing from the pizza factory and making more pizzas. I thnk addressing the first issue and also havng herself talk to Jim before telling the manager more about what Jim has done is a better solution so Jim can still have money and a job for rent.

Becky should talk to Jim and ask him why he acts inappropriately at work. There may be an underlying cause with Jim just not understanding how an employee should act. If that does work then Becky doesn't need to tell Mark about Jim's prior problem. If taling to Jim doesn't work then Becky should tell Jim that if he doesn't stop stealing from the job, she will tell Mark what he is doing.

Becky is a college student who works part-time at Mark's Pizzeria. Mark, the owner of the restaurant, has treated Becky very well. He gave her a job that she needs to help pay her rent when no other business would employ her because she was arrested for shoplifting three years ago. Mark also lets Becky work around her school schedule, and has asked if she wants to be a shift manager in the summers. Becky's roommate Jim also works at the pizzeria, but Jim has been causing a lot of problems at work. He always avoids doing his job, treats customers rudely, and makes a lot of mistakes with orders. Jim recently began stealing food from the pizzeria. Two days ago the pizzeria was short- staffed, so Jim and Becky were the only employees left at closing time. Jim made 10 extra pizzas and took them home to a party he was hosting without paying for them. Becky feels like she needs to do something about Jim's behavior. However, Becky is hesitant to tell Mark about Jim because Jim is a good friend to Becky. Becky also needs Jim to have a job so he can pay his portion of their rent. Becky does not know what to do.

Becky needs to discuss things with Jim first. She needs to make him aware of how she feels with his behavior. Once she expresses how she feels that his behavior is unhealthy and destructive to the work environment, she needs to tell him that he must tell hier boss about the stealing or she will have to. she has a duty to her friend but to her job as well.

Becky could sit Jim down, and explain to him that the manager wants Becky to be a shift manager, and when she sees the things Jim does, she feels she needs to notify the manager. But if she sat him down and talked to him about it calmly, and told him shecould lose her job as well, and they would both not have money to pay for rent, maybe jim would think twice.

Becky could tell Mark what Jim has been doing. If Jim gets fired then Becky could help Jim find a new job, but if he refuses to stop stealing then she should either find a new roommate or tell Jim if he cannot pay the rent then he cannot live with her anyore. It is not Becky's fault that Jim is making bad choices. She can help Jim by showing him what shes been through and how to improve his lifestyle. But if he cannot stop stealing then she is not responsible for what happens to him.

Becky should first try to convince her friend to tell their boss what he has been doing. If that doesn't work then she should step in and tell her boss that she thinks her friend might be stealing.

Talk to Jim about what he is doing at work. Talk to him about how it was hard to find a job because of her past shoplifting, and now she could get accused of it. She should give him a warning, and if it happens again, tell her boss what was going on. Thatcould potentially make her look better in her bosses eyes and put her in higher standings for a promotion, or a very good reference in the future.

Becky starts to eat Jim's food until he notices that she isn't paying for groceries anymore. Becky can use this to make Jim realize that what he is doing is not fair to Mark's Pizzeria, the customers, or to Becky herself.

The best solution would be to first inform Jim that he is being dishonest and that she does not appreciate it, and that if the behavior continues, then she will be forced to tell the boss. If the behavior continues Becky should then report him, because agood friend would not put another friends valuable job on the line for these reasons.

Becky's solution is that she needs to tell Mark that Jim is stealing food, but not to fire him, but say that he should find a better job.

Have Becky tell Jim he needs to do his job at work and not steal from them, because without this job they couldn't afford rent.
If Jim does not change and stop stealing and start working then Becky should report Jim.

Becky first needs to talk to Jim about his behavior and give him advice about how to act at his job and also not to steal. If he continues then Becky needs to tell her boss what is happening so he can put a stop to Jim's bahavior even if that means loosin a friend. She will probably need to look for a new roomate put this will show her boss that she is trustworthy.

Becky should approach Jim about his slacking off at work and his theft from work. Though this may seem very simple, I still find it creative because I don't actually know anybody who might legitimately stand up to his/her friend.

I believe that Becky should find a new roommate or just move out all together because Jim is putting her job in jeopardy and with her prior record, she probably could not get a better position any where else.

The Upper Management of Acme Company has been holding wage increases to a 6 percent level. The decision to hold wage increases came about from an effort to reduce product twice in the past year due to increased shipping costs of materials, and upper management does not feel that Acme can remain competitive if there are any future increases in the cost of their product. Unfortunately, the engineering job market in the area stands at about 12 jobs for every one trained engineer. Because of this, recruiters are cropping up and are enticing Acme's engineers with better jobs and better benefits. As of late, turnover among Acme's engineers has increased and productivity has decreased. Also, there is a considerable grumbling among current engineers about Acme's policy on wage increases. Mr. Wentworth, an executive vice president, has directed Scott to improve the situation in the engineering department. Mr. Wentworth feels that much of the dissatisfaction is based upon the recruiters' enticements of better opportunities in other places. The concern at Acme is to maintain a quality group of engineers at a high level of productivity. Management at Acme does not know how to solve this problem.

In this situation, it is necessary to compromise. Acme must find a way to satisfy their employees so that productivity increases. They need to try bigger and better benefits, and if this means being in debt and going through tough times for awhile, then they need to. This way, as they start having more employees and productivity increases, there will be room for improvement (and debts can be paid off).

Acme needs to lower their costs so that in turn, people will buy more from them, resulting in more pay for the worker. If they lower the cost of their product they will also remain competitive.

Hiring foreign workers who are trained and willing to work for less in order to fill jobs. This can fix acme’s wage problem as well as the engineering job market problems. Acme could also offer current employees certain benefits to convince them to stay.

create an emotional attachment among engineers to help keep them to stay by providing a social life together for The engineers. This can be done by encouraging care pooling, babysitter clubs, etc. The company itself should not do This, but allow an upper manager to volunteer to coordinate some of these things. Hopefully someone would be willing to volunteer their time for The social rewards. -make Acme a better employer than The others in other things besides wage increases, such as with benefits, hours, etc. -give periodic surveys asking the engineers on suggestions to retain them and use the suggestions -get their own “headhunters” to recruit bright new engineers - make The work environment more pleasant or hours more flexible - give the engineers more say in how things should be run

You pay for what you get, if the workers have better opportunities elsewhere and are disastified w/ their job you can’t blame them for wanting to leave. Either increase your wages for the employees you want to keep or continue to get mediocre performance. Try listening to your employees needs then make the decision what to do.

I think that they should make the company smaller & not worry about how much they make. Eventually at the rate things are going the company is soon going to shut down or go out of business. So in order for this not to happen the company just needs to stop being greedy & either go smaller or go out of business. This way the other engineers that havent been with the company long can go to other companies & the ones that have been around can stay & then soon the company can work back up to making their full profit once again.

Acme should hie more engineer’s so that there won’t be 12 jobs per one engineer. That will first causeless stress. They could also find a cheaper way to send materials, resulting in more money for employees; hoping they won’t go elsewhere.

Come up with an original and creative solution for the following real-world problem:
The Upper Management of Acme Company has been holding wage increases to a 6 percent level. The decision to hold wage increases came about from an effort to reduce product twice in the past year due to increased shipping costs of materials, and upper management does not feel that Acme can remain competitive if there are any future increases in the cost of their product. Unfortunately, the engineering job market in the area stands at about 12 jobs for every one trained engineer. Because of this, recruiters are cropping up and are enticing Acme's engineers with better jobs and better benefits. As of late, turnover among Acme's engineers has increased and productivity has decreased. Also, there is a considerable grumbling among current engineers about Acme's policy on wage increases. Mr. Wentworth, an executive vice president, has directed Scott to improve the situation in the engineering department. Mr. Wentworth feels that much of the dissatisfaction is based upon the recruiters' enticements of better opportunities in other places. The concern at Acme is to maintain a quality group of engineers at a high level of productivity. Management at Acme does not know how to solve this problem..

Expand Acme into shipping its own materials instead of paying an outside place. They will an initial investment but if that is where the increases in costs is coming from, then taking care of your own business will save you in that area. Also, search for quality engineers instead of quantity. It is better to have 1 efficient worker than 10 pieces of shit. Talk to them individually to find what’s important to them in a job and then offer alternative benefits (i.e. child care, gym, etc.) In the meantime be looking for ways to produce the product more efficiently and resourcefully. If none of this works then pick up and move to Mexico like the rest of the world.

Cut back on as many upper and middle managers as possible. Then reduce any number of engineers whos jobs could be divided up or are not performing @ satisfactory levels. This should help create a base to increase the engineers salaries and attract new engineers.

Acme needs to maintain a consistent supply of employees to decrease turnover. Since so many leave Acme in search of better benefits, that should be the primary concern. Acme should come up with some better benefits or ways to make working at their company more enjoyable. If financial difficulties are preventing acme from doing this, they need to find a way to get more funding for their company. They could possibly expand to other fields besides engineering or maybe merge with a larger, more successful company. They could try to be more economical with their expenses, waste, etc. or maybe try some fundraising, an engineering, bakesale could be quite successful. Another possible solution would be to concentrate on recruiting naïve college grads to work at their company fir less money, or better yet, offer internships for students and pay them nothing.

I would have a meeting with all engineers and explain the situation. If some disagreed with you, I would fire them and hire new college grad students. I would also give the remaining engineers a pay increase because ACME would be able to with new people. I would have a better program for the future of employees and the longer you stay the more benefits you receive.

Under the circumstances, really Acme’s only choice is to present better benefit options to their employees. This would allow wages to stay the same and also entice current employees to stay and @ the same time attract new ones. To address the decrease in productivity, Acme could reward top achievers in the company.

The upper management needs to allow the engineers more freedom within their position and more benefits. People will stay with a company that they enjoy working at , and will do a better job and have more pride in their work. Job satisfaction involves having a sense of worth and belonging within the organization. Higher security and the fulfillment means more to most people than increased salary or benefits.

In a 12 to 1 market they are going to have to increase wages, benefits, and perks> People work because they have to not because they want to. More money and benefits are usually a good indicator of how badly a your company wants to keep you. Maybe add a yearly bonus, more vacation, increase “perks”. Let employees wear “casual” clothes. Flex schedules. Whatever it takes to keep those employees . They could make up the difference by cutting production costs. Conserve on energy bills, replace inefficient equipment.

Upper management needs to conduct research in its engineering department to determine the true cause of the dissatisfaction, and deal with that problem, once the facts are known. Market research will also show how current product is placed in the market, price-wise, to see if there is room for further price increases. If the above research shows that the price can not be increased, and the true cause f turnover and decreased productivity is an employee perception that there are better opportunities else where, upper management is either going to have to increase engineerings perception of there jobs in a way that doesn’t cost anything (Friday afternoons off, or casual dress code) or increase salaries and sell product as a loss until something else changes.

If the benefits are not worth the stay or enough to make up for not increasing the salaries more engineers would be more likely to stay and product increase could be increased because of good benefit packages. It is hard problem to solve but I think this a start I think this would help to tart a basis for more engineers to want to work for Acme.

The Upper Management of Acme Company has been holding wage increases to a 6 percent level. The decision to hold wage increases came about from an effort to reduce product twice in the past year due to increased shipping costs of materials, and upper management does not feel that Acme can remain competitive if there are any future increases in the cost of their product. Unfortunately, the engineering job market in the area stands at about 12 jobs for every one trained engineer. Because of this, recruiters are cropping up and are enticing Acme's engineers with better jobs and better benefits. As of late, turnover among Acme's engineers has increased and productivity has decreased. Also, there is a considerable grumbling among current engineers about Acme's policy on wage increases. Mr. Wentworth, an executive vice president, has directed Scott to improve the situation in the engineering department. Mr. Wentworth feels that much of the dissatisfaction is based upon the recruiters' enticements of better opportunities in other places. The concern at Acme is to maintain a quality group of engineers at a high level of productivity. Management at Acme does not know how to solve this problem..

Acme should increase pay and benefits for its employees. They should also create a caring work environment in which workers want to work. If workers feel that Acme has the best work environment and want to come to work, it will show in the quality of their work produce.

Employ appropriately ½ of the current number of engineers and give them dramatic (30%) salary increases. Keep those who are more creative and “quality” focused, let those most focused on quantity/production quoatas go. Find an alternative method of shipping, or bring in an internal shipping company, Change your products so it is worth what it costs, and market it so that it is more appealing. Cut supply so that price will increase. If this fails, become Acme headhunting and focus on the growing supply of engineers.

Well, compare process of other companies’ products and their shipping charges see if you should get a new company to ship products. If there is no difference, then I don’t know what to do.
