My Boss, L.J. Watkins, wants to cut cost because of increased competition from another firm and some changes have already been made. Before these change Watkins Co. had a relatively laid back atmosphere in which supervisors did not frequently push or confront employees that often. Wages were considered low for the area and as a result workers would work overtime to make up for their low pay. They were unsupervised during these overtime hours and reportedly were very productive.
He would believe that Charlie would have gotten a promotion or even a raise because Charlie had saved his manager, Mr. Donnegan, money, and he was also at work every day, unless he had surgery. After this gathered information, the reader would seem shocked after finding that Charlie lost his job. This event, like many others, was least expected. If the reader or audience knows something that a character or characters do not know, then this is a form of dramatic irony. "It's a funny thing I never knew that Joe and Frank and the others liked me around all the time to make
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 amount of food that is ordered at a time also helps with the profitability of the company. It saves food so that the chef is not making individual meals for people. Instead, he is making a meal for several people so the time spent cooking is reduced, while the money coming in for the food is increased. It affects utilization in the same way. The customer’s all get their food at once and it saves a lot of the chef’s time by making everything together.
During shift reports and company meetings, these things are discussed, but with a lack of caring, it was a lose-lose situation. I’ve witnessed that if they can fit in with the residents, it would make the job easier for them. They are more than likely to get by with just about anything without the resident going back and reporting it to management. You become careless to your job duties; and that’s exactly what happened with
Giving staff better training in any business will improve the service, less mistakes will occur and staff will feel worthwhile. There seems to be no respect for the night managers. This is a big weakness as managers would need respect by other staff to make it work. As there is a lot of food wastage in the business, it is down to all the managers to control. A Change in the staffing and a rota in place would ensure managers have a full overview of what is happening and when.
Showing them how to obtain a healthy lifestyle will benefit them for the future. It's very important that kids will be able to keep themselves away from obesity when they're older and on their own. Although parents can't completely put a stop to this solely, fast food restaurant's cheap and convenient food takes a big part in this issue as well. Every day that comes people have the control to eat what they want. After a hard day of work most people want a quick and easy dinner so they automatically think of eating out for the night.
Even though unions had moved to improve the rights, justice and conditions of the workplace, it was not surprising that many workers were sacked for simply joining the unions. In the cities, many of the people worked in factories. Some employers and factory owners treated their employees well; they paid them above the minimum wage with good working conditions but in other cases, the workers were being treated like slaves. The temperature of the factories would rise in hotter seasons, sometimes rising above 40ºC, working between 8am to 6om, working to and fro work. Inquiries for better working conditions or wages were dismissed and so were the workers.
The employees may feel a certain way about the layoff of the co-workers and also it may effect how they work. Also another thing is the loss of valuable and knowledgeable employees may affect others too. The new hire people will have no one to ask if they do not understand or know how to perform a task asked of them. This can cause serious problems for productivity and for the patients at the clinic. The last disadvantage I think will be a problem to the Dodge Clinic is employees seeking employment elsewhere because they do not feel there job is secure.
When looking at the bottom line, this practice takes an employee away from working the register or counter as well as increases the costs associated with providing goods for no profit. As a manager, I support Kudler’s practice of offering the samples. I see that it makes the customers happy and our employees get to know members within the community. The event offers more social interaction than a traditional grocery store could offer. Although it may cost most to staff this event, my values and ethics tell me I should concentrate on what is most beneficial to my employees and my customers.
