Analogizing/Distinguishing: The similarity between Mrs. Mitchell and Natalie is that they both were fired from their work place. Also both of them filed for unemployment and were denied because they were terminated from their place of employment for misconduct. The difference between them is that Natalie was terminated for her new tattoo whereas Mitchell was terminated for birdbrain considered the ‘last straw’. Another difference is that Natalie did her job well but only two customers complained about her tattoo whereas Mitchell didn’t she refused to do her job and wasn’t very cooperative. Application to Client’s Facts: Due to the differences in the two cases; Natalie should file a claim against the NMESB for unfairly withholding her unemployment
Another assumption is that women often took jobs for the wrong reasons (Gunn and Gullickson, 2007). That statement suggests that Karen’s gender may have been the reason she did not recognize her motivator instead of the fact that she may have just never thought about it. If a person obtains a job that will not gratify their main motivator then that person will be unsatisfied with their job. By making this assumption the article also implies that most women are not satisfied at work .Even though assumptions are drawn from this article, there are a few hypotheses made by the Pursuit of Unhappiness. Hypotheses, Variable, and Operational Definitions One hypothesis
Our self-concepts consist of our impressions and our beliefs about ourselves (Psychology and the Challenges of Life: Chapter 2.3.2, 2010). Jennifer’s self-concept is affected in a manner whereas she insists that she is not stressed and that she is happy, but finds she is making more than the normal amount of mistakes at work, unable to keep up with housework as a wife, and feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Conditions of worth are standards by which the value of a person is judged (Psychology and the Challenges of Life: Chapter 2.3.2, 2010). Jennifer is beginning to question her effectiveness as an, wife, employee, daughter, and potential mother therefore affecting her
However, some women joined the work force and would do jobs that men previously had held. Some were not forced to, but they had to work as hard as they could to support their families during this difficult time. In contrast, the writer Norman Cousins commented that there was a negative opinion on the women’s presence in the workforce despite women willing to acquire a living wage. He also stated in his book that the federal government proscribed holding government jobs by both members of a married couple, and many localities stopped hiring women whose husbands with a minimum wage (Cousins 1939). Another aspect of the Depression affecting life of women was the moral argument against working-women.
This tattoo is known as a sleeve tattoo and is one in which the uniform could not cover completely. Mrs. Baker ordered Natalie to immediately remove the tattoo or she would be fired. Mrs. Baker informed Natalie that tattoos are not part of this establishment that she would lose customers which would untimely cause a loss in revenue. In addition that tattoos are not part of the uniform. The issues in this case did Mrs. Baker provide proof of Natalie’s appearance having a negative effect on the business causing sales and profits to go down?
Having a plan of action shows the board members that every aspect has been considered. Once Sally Martin was hired as executive project manager, she evaluated the progress that had been made and realized that because the initial analysis had been rushed, several key components to the success of the project had been missed. She did a wonderful job in creating a way to fix the problems but her superior was not pleased with her findings and considered it bad news. Lack of candor is present here because as a result of the negative feedback from her boss, Ms. Martin decided to never relay bad news again no matter what. Good communication would be the key to overcoming this situation.
Joanne, however, feels she is not getting her fair share. She has asked the supervisor for more overtime but has been told by the supervisor that, in her opinion, everyone is getting a fair and equal share of the work and that it was felt she would be unable to work overtime because of family responsibilities. Joanne considers this is not the case as there are many occasions when she can work overtime, and feels Helen is against her as Joanne has two small children, one of whom has recently had a medical complaint which has caused her to take time
There is no training program for them that state any reasons why the culture of the company relies on customer satisfaction. So in this case some employees may feel resentment for having to put so much effort into making their customer happy. For instance, some Nordstrom employees may feel that it is too difficult to meet the needs of some of their customers. Employees are expected to go out of their way, even to work long hours or beyond their hours to meet their customers’ needs, but they do not get compensated for any overtime. The environment for this employee could be very stressful and cause them to not want to put much effort into sales.
However, we have provided training and support to assist her in becoming a productive employee to no avail. At this point, her behavior and her actions in telling me as her supervisor that I do not “appreciate her” makes the workplace feel hostile. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), any unwelcome conduct in the workplace, in the form of discriminatory harassment toward one or more employees can be deemed to create a hostile work environment (Hostile work environment, n.d.). In an effort to provide other co-workers peace and to provide the company with an employee who can and will do the work, there is no other option but to relieve Jennifer of her job (Employment at will,
Don Elias didn’t go out and make an honest living. He was only respected by the people around him because they feared him. Dona Matilida was not seen as an equal partner in the relationship. She was more of a servant to Don Elias. I believe that when they first got married there was some kind of love in their relationship, but when they realized they could not conceive a child Don Elias blamed his wife.
