Coborn's Employees Differences

High turnover is something that goes hand in hand with low wage jobs, so companies are always looking for a workers replacement. Finally Ehrenreich is able to secure employment at a place she give the pseudonym, Hearthside. To help protect identies of companies and people she actually worked for and with, Ehrenreich decides to use fake names to achieve anonymity. Ehrenreich starts out at 2.43 an hour plus tips. One of the first things Ehrenreich notices is that the people around her are only working hard enough to get by. Because the managers will yell at anybody who is done with their work, and not doing something new, the workers seem to be happy with just working at a slow pace, doing just one job. Because the only reward for finishing early is being yelled at by a manager, that apparently spends his day doing nothing, there is no real bonus to go the extra mile. Due to this negative reinforcement, Ehrenreich notes that the restaurant is almost moving in counterproductive mode. With less being worked on, less is being accomplished, attributing to the overall sad appearance and low morale of the restaurant and its employees. The next problem Ehrenreich encounters is the constant berating handed out by her supervisor "Stu". Ehrenreich observes that due to this constant barrage of insults and degradations, workers are forced to feel like they are subhuman. Weekly the managers announce

She does not ask what the employees think before she implements anything. The employees therefore perceive Sally to be a poor manager who does not care about employees’ work condition and who buries herself ‘behind a high desk with her back to the door in an office two levels above’.

The work place is often described by many as a stressful environment, and is often penalized for failing to comply with state and federal regulations. The hospital is struggling not only to keep workers but to attract new ones. The hospital, however, has been making efforts to improve employee morale to encourage workers.

Sammy’s experience gave me a personal insight to an experience I once had while being employed at Kroger. The location of the Kroger I was working at was just about to have a grand opening. We had all gathered to the front of the store to have a store meeting to prepare for the opening. Our manager at the time was speaking to us and just telling us about how he was expecting everyone to be on his or her tasks. He wanted to make sure that no one had any questions or concerns of their jobs.

Dreading going to work was my lifestyle, up until our new director, Jessica Gettings. The workplace atmosphere has improved greatly, with her making several necessary changes. Almost all of the changes had been over-looked in the past by our previous director, with Sterile Processing being one of the most neglected. Multiple workers have noticed, through all these transitions, that attitudes have shifted to a more positive mood, work production has begun to increase, and workers in this department have started to feel more connected. Within the last month, however, I have seen a decline in work production from Sonia Tribble and Tyler Boedecker, both of which have had problems in the past. The two, seem to, show up late and avoid work by conversing

Eddie Lama, in “The Witness”, believes that diversity in the workplace is essential to a successful business. His view of a diversified workplace is a combination of compassionate people from all walks of life, who come together to make a family. Using the diverse staff as a support and foundation of his business, Eddie believes that his construction business would not function without them.

Ehrenreich chooses Minnesota at whim. After some internet-based research, she is convinced that there will be a comfortable correspondence between rent and wages. She decides she wants to work for retail, and applies to Wal-Mart. After the process of applying which includes a survey and a drug test, she is later hired for $7 per hour. Working at Wal-Mart makes Ehrenreich realizes there isn’t much human interaction in retail. “I could be a deaf-mute as far as most of this goes” (Ehrenreich157). There are also the people in the store who tend to make work a living hell and can turn regular chipper people into angry, cranky pushovers. “Once I stand and watch helplessly while some rug rat pulls everything he can reach off the racks, and the thought that abortion is wasted on the unborn must show on my face, because his mother finally tells him to stop” (165). In many cases the “smiley” greeters who welcome people into the store, are very unhappy and think unkind thoughts about everyone who comes to visit the store, “I even start hating the customers for extraneous reasons…” (165). This sudden change in character can be strenuous on a worker, regardless of their personality. Resenting the people who workers work for isn’t a healthy trait. “ ‘Aggressive hospitality’ gives way to aggressive hostility” (165).

The Joint Commission understands that human resource management (HRM) is vital in any organization because it deals directly with employees, who are charged with the responsibility of achieving the organization’s goals and objectives. Traditionally, majority of organizations treated employees as liabilities. However, over the years, the view has changed to focus on employees as assets. Importantly, in an acute care hospital, committed employees are essential because they would be dealing with patients directly. Moreover, working with such patients requires employees who can create personal relationships with the patients. In essence, patient satisfaction increases when the patients can trust their caregivers (Mathauer & Imhoff, 2011).

My frustration came to head yesterday when I had arrived to work around 4:25pm. The store was, at the time, not really busy but the only person that was available to check out customers was the dog trainer. Who was attempting to prepare for her class that was going to begin at 5pm. There were three

Do you ever drive down the street and see someone holding up a big sign stating some type of promotion? Of course you see them, that’s the point as to why they are doing it, to catch your attention. What would catch my attention more was how hot, musty and sticky that person must be, holding that sign up under this powerfully, blazing, draining Miami sun. Well I never thought that at one point, I would be holding a large Cicis Pizza buffet sign under those sizzling circumstances. Not to mention our uniform was a black t-shirt, black Dickies, black sneakers, and a black hat. Dripping in sweat my first hour of being clocked in, with some type of outdoor odor encarved in my uniform, and already feeling a little tired with an uneven sunburn. How was I going to pull through the rest of my shift? Was I wrong for already disliking my job only being an hour in? Every day as a Cicis Pizza employee that’s what my first hour consisted of, trying to get more people to come dine inn our restaurant. My boss made it clear that if I had to hold my sign and jump up and down, shout out “Cici’s Pizza!! Come have lunch here”, throw my sign around, or twirl it to get more people to look, that’s what I had to do. Whatever it was I had to ensure that the amount of customers coming in today was greater than yesterdays. At times, I would even gather a group of my friends or family and tell them to go, and tell them to bring along some of their friends to. I would even comment to them how I would give them a good pricing deal, or how we could even create and personalize their own flavorful pizza.Whether it was a

A Wal-Mart photo lab associate, Claude is facing a difficulty concerning attending his father’s major birthday dinner.( Brotheridge, C. 2005) Claude comes from a tight family, and he didn’t want to miss the celebration. However, there is a conflict between his working schedule and the dinner plan. Owing to the inflexibility of the auto scheduler program and his manager’s non-negotiable management style, he was sure that his manager wouldn’t give him the time off. Additionally, he didn’t want to call a sick day, not wanting to bend the truth. He also couldn’t feel there was a cold coming. Yet, the main problem is Wal-Mart’s organizational management. Managers do not treat their employees with dignity and respect

Over centuries humanity have progressed to be where the world stands today through the hardship of improving and development the country using countless of manpower to achieve their specified target. Everyone played their part in order to develop their nation to greater means. The people who mainly contributed their strength, pouring their heart and soul at work are the workers or also better known as ‘employees’. The employees are the means that is required in order to drive an organization. Without them, an organization would not even be an organization as there is no one to keep it running which implies that employees should not be taken for granted. In the modern world today, question arises regarding the mistreatment of employees
