If ever placed in a supervisory position I would be forced to make decisions such as cutting employee hours, hiring, and firing employees. Each supervisor may choose a separate pathway to follow when making such decisions; they are given the option to make the fairest decision as possible. As a supervisor I would determine the traits I feel make up the prime example of a good employee. I feel a good employee is someone who works hard. As a supervisor I am looking for a person who is able to multitask. A good employee's messages do not need to be questioned; they are able to successful complete one call and move on to the call waiting on the second line all the while taking proper messages containing who called, what company they are calling from, a call back telephone number including extension, whom they are calling for, and the reason for the telephone call. With a good employee I am able to schedule them to work at a certain time in which they arrive on time and are ready to work. A good employee is able to separate their personal life from their work life. A good employee will offer to help others without being asked.
A good employee does not sit around waiting for work to come to them; they seek out other tasks when their personal assignments have been completed. A good employee is someone management can depend on. I would base my decision on those who possess these traits. If an employee is a repeat offender when it comes to being on time, then they are telling me that they do not care about holding their current position or about the future of the company they are employed with. From the text I would choose to lay off, Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Green. Both of these men do not show the good employee traits that I am looking for.
[...] In terms of compensation, I will discuss the possibility for a market adjustment. With a market adjustment, trained professionals come in and determine if the rate of pay our employees are making is similar to that of employees from other companies make. This rate will be determined the amount of work the employees produce over the amount of time the employees are given to complete the tasks. Resources Used: Rue, L. W., & Byars, L. L. (2004).

Implications Involving Affirmative Action Having chose Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Green as my potential layoffs; I have not disrupted the Affirmative Action policy. These two employees, both male, are of separate races. I am looking at solely their work records, not their race or sex. [...]

[...] Jefferson and Mr. Green. I would like my employees to be honest with me and I will do the same in return for them. I will let them know that they will now have to increase their work load having lost two employees. I will leave the meeting open to questions; answering any questions they may have truthfully. The questions I am unable to answer I will review and verify with other management promptly so that I may return the answer to the employees. [...]
