Previous experiences as a staff member: Sadly, I have never had the opportunity to be on a

Daniel emphasized how strict the entertainment departments budget were that I caused them to go over budget by not taking breaks and that from there on out I would be getting scheduled 28 hours a week. David changed my time sheet and added breaks on days that I did not take breaks. Daniel also stated that by the time I had replied to Davids missed time punch text that the time sheet was already sent in. I asked Daniel how this could be corrected and he told me he would have to check with HR but that I could just not clock out for 3 days. Daniel also asked me I meant by "I was doing lead work". I replied by telling him I lead my staff, performed closing lead duties; such as End of Day report, contacting guest services, reporting directly to

Something interesting about me is that for 4 years in the marching band I played the saxophone. It is during those years I learned how to properly communicate with other students working in a large group to accomplish our shared musical goals. Eventually I would end up in a leadership role during my senior year of high school it’s during this time I learned the importance of dividing personal relationships and from leadership role. Often during my leadership role, I found myself at conflict due my personal friendships with other band students in the organization. Additionally, I listen to classical music, using photo editing software, and using different programming languages. The results from my TypeFocus were the following: ‘I’ introversion, ‘S’ sensing, ‘T’ thinking, and ‘J’ judgement. I will honestly say I did not learn not anything new from the taking the assessment about myself and the careers I will likely enter. Even more the assessment just confirmed everything that I’ve known about myself like how tend to be more introvert often takes me a while to open up personally to most individuals.

I really appreciate you clarifying this information for me. I do understand that there are rules in every organization that one must abide by, and I will remain compliant. Like you stated sometimes information written in black and white comes off as harsh however, in actuality it isn’t so bad. It’s okay that I can’t move, I will adapt and learn as much as I can from my manager because she appears to be very knowledgeable. Thank you for all of your help, and I am very grateful for this

Since she has problems skipping a question and forgetting to check back over the test, I have personally gone back over my tests as many times as I’ve had time for. I’ve quadruple-checked several math tests because I have a fresh outlook when I come back to the question. Sometimes I check for mistakes and other times, my inspiration kicks in and I’m not stumped anymore. She should depend on her Sequence still, but perhaps lean towards one of its other characteristics, organizational objectives. Before she even goes into a test, take some breaths and break down in her head of what she’s going to do if she gets stumped. Go in with a game plan.

List all of the jobs that you chose. Which jobs are paid more or less? (rank them) Is this what you would have expected? Why or why not?

Thank you for serving our company as an Engineering Technologist. Your role is very critical to our success as a whole. Without your technical knowledge and leadership, we wouldn't be where we are now. This notice serves as a follow up with a conversation we had previously on September 3, 2015. I shared some behavioral concerns that are in need of improvement.

Thanks again for taking the time to speak with me today. As we discussed, this was an error on our end, which has since be corrected. What happened was, I did not discount the 2.5% credit card processing fee when I sent out the original agreement for Swift & Sons, resulting in the difference you’re seeing.

I think we need to build better relationships with our customers. With our current customers, it seems as if we are constantly just a one-time kind of business. We do not want to be that, we want the customers to return because they trust us. Not because they consistently have problems even with our help.

“It’s a homerun when you and the customer agree on what is expected and you are able to deliver exactly that. Know that customers who take time to explain their concerns are doing you a big favor. Set up a system to learn from breakdowns. Strive to match customer demands for level of quality, pricing, and accountability” (Gray, 2017). With the new sales representative role at Best Value, I would take the advice previously mentioned. Listening to the consumer and meeting that need would be the first priority of my role and managing expectations. This would also serve as a platform for the company as well to see if Best Value is able to meet the growing needs of their consumers and revisit the services and products that are offered by them.

Once again, this week’s reading is very timely and coincides with current work situations. This week, it has become more apparent that the culture of where I work conflicts with my personal values. Over two years ago, I moved to the Boston area for this job and at the time I realized that there were geographical and historical differences than from previous places I had lived. I also expected social and economic differences. Being the newcomer, to the work situation and environment, there was the need for me to learn about the governmental rules and processes for how decisions are made. In addition, after a few times of being corrected, I learned to call Massachusetts a Commonwealth, not a State. For a time, I embraced the cultural differences and contributed any unease to my unfamiliarity with the area. Then, I started to notice some current organizational values that contrast with my beliefs. For instance, the organization I

Daily Manger’s meetings are held at Toyota Boshoku Tennessee, and monthly communication meetings are held with all plant employees. In addition, RoundTable meetings are also a monthly activity. RoundTable meetings bring a diverse group together for an hour to discuss any concerns within the plant. By providing the hourly discussion, all team members receive the satisfaction of knowing that their opinion has meaning. A good communication strategy is essential for any organization to operate in a positive manner (Clemmer, n.d.).

The purpose of trade sales promotions are to increase industry visibility and to provide discounts and deals (Marshall, Solomon, & Stuart, 2012). Frito-Lay should use co-op advertising, promotional products, and point-of-purchase displays to increase their sales.

This week’s lesson in forum 2 each onlinemate was to submit a thread in response to 5 questions after reading chapters 4 thru 6, plus show how a biblical worldview be applied. In addition, chapter 5 had a workbook consisting of an additional 5 questions that needed addressing, Management Fads. Next, according to the grading rubric for forum 2 we are told to reply to 2 classmates’ threads. One of the threads I have chosen to give a reply to again is Jermaine Green. The response to this, forum will be based on 2.08 Discussion on the Publication manual of the American psychological association (APA), sixth edition (2013, p.35) and two premises on which sampling theory is based; the characteristics of accuracy and precision for measuring the validity (Cooper & Schindler, 2014).
