Contrary to what Simard assumed would happen, production began to diminish due to absenteeism. As a consequence, supervisors began issuing letters of reprimand which led to employees seeking help from their union and filing grievances. Simard attempted to rectify the problems by increasing the supervisor to employee ratio. Simard hoped this would help the supervisors keep track of the employees as well as keep up with their own duties. It became harder for the supervisors to keep track of their employees, therefore, making it difficult for the payroll department to deduct pay for the time the employees were late.

The fear of having lower SPH forced employees to make the non selling hours off the record and this resulted in losses for the employees, in both, monetary as well as recognition of extra efforts work. The main cause of this problem is the incentive for the sellers. It causes employees to work off the clock in order to increase their SPH. Another important problem that the employees of Nordstrom confront is the peer pressure.

There was a lot of difference between Turner’s expectations (rather assumptions) from MLI and what actually happened after joining MLI, which was the result of Turner’s unconscious decision of taking job. Secondly, Turner didn’t get time to get familiar with new people, working conditions and responsibilities and also he didn’t get what was promised to him at the time of interview like complete autonomy, freedom to take decisions. And turner couldn’t cope up with this situation. Third and most important factor which has made Turner’s situation even worse is his relationship with higher management and peer group, particularly with Mr. Cardullo. Turner and Mr. Cardullo are two different personalities, as Turner wants to work as a team and according to Mr. Cardullo everybody should be capable to handle his department without any others help.

Their current position only serves to perpetuate the long lived consumer mind-set that companies are inherently dishonest and only have eyes on profit. It is unrealistic to believe that Company Q can instantly jump from their current posture to one of deep and meaningful social responsibility and corporate ethics.
In this essay, I seek to critically discuss whether resolutions provide a better explanation of the weakness of the will than the traditional/ Akrasia account or not. I will achieve this by briefly explaining what the traditional account is and also what the resolution account is. Furthermore, I will explain the advantages of Holton’s approach and also give reasons why Holton’s argument succeed which will be accompanied by a rebuttal. The Akrasia traditional approach merely states that a person is weak-willed if they act against their best judgement. If one judges A to be the best course of action, why would one do anything other than A?
One of my main takeaways from this topic is that money isn’t the best motivator. According to Mayo’s Hawthorne effect, employees feel more motivated when their efforts are recognized, and this can be achieved through bonuses for example. However, this can increase individualism as employees will focus on outperforming their peers. Intrinsic motivation helps create loyal employees who are more satisfied on a personal level. An example of this could be social security benefits.
