The corporate office has an official certified Human Resource Department. At the Eastern plant a clerk was in charge of the Human Resource Department. The clerk had access to all personal records, including performance appraisals and disciplinary records. This is personal information that should not be handled by just a clerk; it should be handled by a Human Resource Manager. Furthermore, Mr. Charles Jackson is required to handle all problems himself. If Charles reaches out to the corporate office, it would look like an act of failure on his part. Moreover, the group of night workers that came in to Mr. Jackson office, and threatened Mr. Jackson, by saying there could be a safety accident.…
In going through some of things regarding buying the business I think Mike should make sure that the coffee shop is up to code. He should talk to officials about required standards, for running a coffee shop, licenses; the different laws for having the shop in Sunnydale, Illinois, all of will be needed and will help to keep the restaurant running properly inside and out. It is also important that he reviews each file for all employees making sure all documents that are needed for hire are there, reading through and seeing the difference in their duties and the performance prior to him buying the shop and respond accordingly and whatever decisions he makes with each one or if hiring new document all that is done to cover himself within the law.…
From Sutterwhite's brief conversations with the employees, "she learned they did not care much for Wallace as a store manager. One of the workers referred to him as "uncaring" while another said he had "the personality of an army drill sergeant" (126). Wallace needs to become more caring toward his employees to build a better working relationship with them. Wallace's chances of changing in three months are not likely because he doesn't even agree with the simple store policies.…
The District manager would come in almost every month for a store checkup. We were supposed to be doing things weekly to avoid getting behind, but with this management nothing really got done. The District manager would come and there would be prices from the last month still on items. Items wouldn’t be on the shelves and still in the back from the night before. He would observe customers asking if we had certain things in stock and no one would know because it was a mess in the back. After the second time the District manager came to the store he was so fed up he just walked out.…
The founding fathers' view of King George III is that he is a tyrant because be denied the basic rights of colonists. Patrick Henry said "ours petitions have been slighted; ours remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; ours supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne."Thomas Paine said " Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny has declared that she has a right to not only tax us but to bind us in all cases whatsoever." Thomas Jefferson said "He has refused his Assent to…
George Gey is introduced into The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks as the head of tissue-culture research at John Hopkins hospital. He was about 52 years old when he discovered the immortality of Henrietta’s cells, and this was most likely the peak of his life, thanks to this brilliant discovery. However, he came from an interesting background. Gey was born in 1889 and grew up with his parents in Pittsburgh. He was always adventurous and liked to make do with what he had. He was always looking for new discoveries and this is what led him to find that Henrietta’s cells were, in fact, immortal.…
In this case, there are several instances of poor management including but not limited to: lack of proper training, accountability and adherence to manufacturing industry standards, etc. A company as large as Eastern dairy should have a manager on site and more than 4 employees for the night shift, especially given how critical the night shift is in meeting production needs. The so‐called “leader” of the group, Paul is worried about going home early and the cost impact to the company if product needs are not met for one night. Paul’s decision to ignore the issue puts George in an extremely difficult situation. Another problem to note is the management in many corporations today. All too often, employees have self‐serving motives and conflicts of interest that essentially stems from culture of the organization and how it operates. When George initially brings the issue to Paul, we learn quickly from Paul’s demeanor that he had encountered the problem in the past and had seen the maggots several times. Paul is essentially immune to the ‘stomach in knots’ feeling that George experienced as he was headed home. The lack of ethical culture that was instilled by Eastern Dairy’s management is such that the employees just care about clocking in and out and do not take pride in their work. The fact that Paul is in a position to oversee the night shift in and of itself is a significant issue. Furthermore, the company culture did not instill…
Since he has been manager he has had problems with Bill Durkee, Juba Puckett, Tony Skrow, and he has hired Vance, which some of the other sales representatives have problems with. One of the hardest things for a manager to do is fire an employee who is hard working, but just is not getting the job done. It is especially hard to do when you know the employee has a family that depends on him and he has bills to pay. Not everything about being a manager is easy, and Goldstone definitely needs to make a decision about Durkee. Goldstone needs to treat Durkee like he is being treated by his boss. He needs to give him a warning, and tell him that if his performance does not improve within the next week then he is going to be let go. Hopefully this warning will give Durkee the motivation he needs to start making sales, but if it does not then Goldstone needs to fire him, and get him replaced. The situation of the other three sales representatives, that Goldstone has had problems with, needs to be assessed as well. It is too late for Goldstone to do anything about Juba Puckett because he already messed up with her and she quit. As for Vance, since he is a new employee, he needs to start off at the same level as the other sales representatives until he can prove himself. Goldstone needs to let him take over Juba Puckett’s position, because it is not fair to the other sales representatives to give him a corner office on his first day. If Vance wants a corner office he needs to earn it. If Goldstone does this to Vance, then the most important sales representative, Tony Skrow will be less likely a threat of quitting. Goldstone just needs to get his priorities strait with his sales reps. He can not risk losing the top performing sales representative, for the last fifteen years, by hiring someone new and giving them better treatment. If Goldstone can get all…

Pret a Manger, which is French for ‘ready to eat’, is described by Times as having refashioned the concept of sandwich making and eating. It was founded by Sinclair Beecham and Julian Metcalfe, two college friends in 1986. They identified an opportunity in London to introduce a healthy fast-food alternative to the fried fatty food menus around at the time. Their innovative venture paid off as people welcomed this change with open arms. Since the first store opened, Pret has been largely successful, expanding continuously in the UK and more recently abroad. Their corporate policy is to own and manage all new shops to control and enhance the brand and to ensure a high standard in all shops consistently. By 2001, Pret a Manger had 100 stores in Britain and was moving into the United States. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Beecham sold a third of the company to, of all companies, McDonald’s, for an estimated £26 million ($43 million). In 2008, McDonald’s sold its stake to a private investment firm Bridgepoint Capital for over £345 million. Pret is succeeding with just such an out-of-the-box approach. The organizational structure of…

There was a significant difference in power and authority; ownership of the jewelry store and all assets belong to Sean, and he had invested his entire savings into the organization. It seemed he was solely concerned with profit and I was concerned with diminishing the relations I had built at the workplace. As manager, I was also concerned with sales, and profit, but to be honest I was more concerned with whether my actions and behaviors were justifiable. I continued to ask myself if I was behaving in an ethical manner. Would I be the underlying reason for my employee’s financial bind once he was laid off because I knew he would soon be unemployed and I kept this information from him to satisfy my boss. Withholding this information from my employees went against my personal values, which include dignity, empathy, compassion, accountability, loyalty, and integrity (to name a few). I am an honest individual, and I cannot willingly withhold information that could ultimately terminate a friendship and cause severe damage to the success and happiness of my employee’s professional life as well as their personal lives.…
atish was a Sales Manager for Industrial Products Company in City branch. A week ago,he was promoted and shifted to Head Office as Deputy Manager - Product Management for adivision of products which he was not very familiar with. Three days ago, the company VP -Mr. George, convened a meeting of all Product Managers. Satish's new boss (ProductManager Ketan) was not able to attend due to some other preoccupation. Hence, theMarketing Director, Preet - asked Satish to attend the meeting as this would give him anexposure into his new role.At the beginning of the meeting, Preet introduced Satish very briefly to the VP. The meetingstarted with an address from the VP and soon it got into a series of questions from him toevery Product Manager. George, of course, was pretty thorough with every single product of the company and he was known to be pushy and a blunt veteran in the field. Most of theProduct Managers were very clear of George's ways of working and had thoroughly preparedfor the meeting and were giving to the point answers. George then started with Satish.Satish being new to the product, was quite confused and fared miserably.Preet immediately understood that George had possibly failed to remember that Satish wasnew to the job. He thought of interrupting George's questioning and giving a discretereminder that Satish was new. But by that time, George who was pretty upset with the lackof preparation by Satish made a public statement "Gentlemen, you are witnessing here anexample of sloppy work and this can't be excused".Now Preet was in two minds - should he interrupt George and tell him that Satish is new inthat position OR should he wait till the end of the meeting and tell George privately. Preetchose the second option.Satish was visibly angry at the treatment meted out by George but he also chose to keep…
I was working a part time sale in a sport wear retail store when I studied university in Taiwan. The store was opened beside a night market, so the opening hour of the store was from noon until midnight. There was one store manager, three full time sales and a part time sale in the store. Because one of full time and store manager were good friend, they made a whole store always had nice and fun atmosphere. But sometimes, this relationship also made other employees more upset about work and bad performance, especially they had quarrel no matter the cause of the quarrel was about the private affair or company issue. In addition, the full time will use this relationship to break some rules of company, such as be late, smoking in the warehouse and sleeping during work. After a period of time, other employees begun to learn these inappropriate behaviors from the full time sales, but the store manager did not say something to stop these employees.…
situation was impacting not only the entire facility and staff, but the residents as well because that is their food, I decided to speak up. I realized that even though I was not involved, it became my business. At the end I knew I did the right thing and it benefited everyone, even the thief. The administrative staff was able to find that person liable for the loss and dismiss them. The other staff didn't have to worry about being a suspect, and the residents were no longer being victims of theft. As far as the job of course that employee had…
