Be relentlessly clear. All good writing instruction repeats this refrain: Show, don’t tell. In other words, illustrate your points with specifics. Example: You want to say someone in your company is a bad boss. Rather than making that general statement, say something like, “He got a promotion based on his assistant’s detailed reports, but then—despite the company’s record profits—denied that assistant even routine cost-of-living raises.” 6.
1) Determine whether or not the employee has a potential FLSA claim: After listening to the lectures tutorial, Mr. Murphy does not have a valid FLSA claim in one of the circumstances. On the other hand I do believe he does have a valid FLSA claim in one of the other circumstances. 2) Explain the legal basis for your conclusion: For example Mr. Mike Murphy is complaining to his manager that he should get paid for the time that he expends on his own time doing physical training to be in shape because he is in the SWAT team and is a very physically demanding job. The reason that he does not qualify is because the employee in not on waiting time when he is doing his exercise. Based on the lecture the only time to can claim working time is when you are in a waiting status, and the employee cannot do anything personal for this reason.
I do not consider him being the master mind of all the dishonest moves but he hired the people to do it for him. He was aware of everything that went on in almost every deal. Jeff Skilling the then Chief Operating Officer (COO) particularly contributed to the whole mess with a very creative idea. Looking for a way to profit at all cost, he came up with the idea of Mark to Market accounting. While the accounting was marked to market, it wasn’t being handle the traditional fashion way with trading prices dictating its value.
This manages to show him as a naive, opinionated person in his views. This makes his opinions become less convincing and believable to the reader. Before he starts, he describes himself as a ‘hard-headed business man, who knows what he’s about.’ This presents him as pompous and someone who thinks his ideas are always right and no one should doubt them. Firstly, he says ‘last month, just because the miners came out on strike, there’s talk of possible labour trouble in the near future.’ He goes on to say, ‘Don’t worry. We’ve seen the worst of it.’ The audience, watching this three decades years later, know that there were an increasing number of strikes during the period and after the play is set, undermining Arthur Birling even more.
Morrison explains how the trade has been subdivided and those subdivisions have been again subdivided. This then means that the working man or the machinist never learns his trade because of the changes the trade goes through constantly. “For instance the trade is so divided that the sewing-machine is so subdivided that the man working it is not even considered a machinist at all” (A Mosaic of America, Pg 133). Now a days there are different branches of the trade so that one man can be apart of just one particular part of a machine, and therefore may not know anything about another part of the same machine. Machinery is produced a lot cheaper then what it once was.
Glen’s quandary first results from his incompetence in the capitalist society. Glen represents working class men, the proletariat, “who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live “. Therefore, Glen suffers from exploitation of the bourgeoisie, the capitalist class. This is reflected in Glen’s petty wages, which cannot support his family’s already poor living standards. Even worse, despite being strong and skillful at manual labor, Glen, known for his “hot temper, bad memory and general uselessness”, is labeled as a counterproductive factor in the capitalist system.
Book Report Young Ranofer is the son of Thutra, master goldsmith. When Thutra died, poor Ranofer was left to the not-so-tender mercies of his half-brother, Gebu, a hulking brute who deals out insults and beatings with little provocation. Ranofer's life is barely tolerable working in Rekh's goldsmith shop, but until he can be apprenticed, his job is a dead-end and he must turn over all his earnings to Gebu. Worse, he has noticed that his brother has been growing rich and suspects he may be stealing. But even if Ranofer manages to get proof, who will believe a boy like him against the word of a man like Gebu?
He has a silver trophy, marking him as "second best". He's been close to achieving his dreams throughout but never able to get beyond where he stood, keeping him even more trapped. While Willy pretended to be the number one star in the company he was actually barley scraping by, at the end of almost every day he borrows money to try to keep his dignity, the audience is shown that even throughout everything Willy is going through he does not want to seem weak to anyone, he lies about his situation and makes it seem that everything is alright he tries to preserve he dignity. His struggle for success is clearly shown when Lynda tells of how he borrows money instead of making any and that all his contacts have forgotten about him. He isn't willing to let go and accept the past and what
Labor Unions and working Conditions. Working conditions were part of the problems that Labor Unions took care of. At the beginning of the industrial Revolution there were not many laws made for working field, without laws or having being told how to have a company/factory kept, owners were too uncaring and paid a little attention to the cleanliness of the business but more to the profit that was being made. Also owners were not paying their employees enough money, and the factories were unsafe. The cause of the problem was that owners were selfish and very greedy.
