Another big part of her job is training of managers. She said that she is constantly making phone calls to managers around the country working on their skills. “Role playing,” is the term Jaime used to describe what she does with store managers. She said that far too often managers are placed in situations where they are unsure how to handle in a way that the Buckle Corporation would want them to. By presenting managers with situation and asking them “how would you handle this?” it keeps the managerial teams proactive. She also mentioned that twice a year, all managers are asked to please come to Kearney for a formal evaluation and training weekend called “manager meetings.” This gives the generalists a chance to meet everyone face to face and get a feel for what they are actually like as a manager, rather than continuously having phone conversations. I did ask if is difficult not being able to evaluate the managers in person and see how things are run. She assured me that the steps they take to talk with employees and managers on the phone are a big help. At manager meetings, individuals are graded on how they interact with others, how they respond to situations and tough questions, and how they present themselves. This give the Buckle human resource team insight as to how they are running

Jane’s childhood struggle of losing her mother prepared her for her future struggles. She constantly had a church family to rely on growing up to strengthen her faith. Jane worked hard and had a good education; it was all preparing her for her later work. God strengthened her love and faith while she worked as a girls’ matron, and she displayed this love in her sacrificial death. God used Jane Haining’s life for His glory, and He prepared her for it through each stage of her life.

However, the Director of Nursing and Management are exempt, but the higher salaries they paid to management will still probably be much higher than their hourly counterpart. Because of the enormous earning of upper management Companies are justified in not paying them for overtime

Ann Taylor’s target market primarily comprises of ages between 30 years and 60 years to whom, the company offers a plethora of work related apparel and accessories. LOFT’s target market comprises of 18 to 34 year olds who have a wide variety of casual work related (can be used for other purposes) apparel and accessories. Although the two divisions cater to different target markets, their primary purpose is to provide to the ‘working customer.’ Ann Taylor’s expansion into value based divisions (LOFT and its clearance centers) has captured the value market. The pricing at LOFT is about 30% lower than its sister concept, Ann Taylor. The outlets too, have captured the market that comprises of consumers seeking deeper value over traditional pricing and stores. The corporation added more value to these “clearance centers,” by creating private labels for the outlet centers. All the three divisions have proven to be a success among consumers. A third strength of the company would be its marketing strategies through celebrity associations. Some of the biggest celebrities like Heidi Klum, Milla Jovovich, Rachel Bilson are the faces of the company. The brand equity of the company, i.e. the image of the company in the minds of the consumers is enhanced because of positive perceptions. To further enhance this, the company is specifically targeting different markets by using different celebrities for each type of market. For example: Christina Hendricks, known for her curves is a

Martin used a unique way to display the theme of envy. Often when humans envy others, they forget that others have problems too. She was able to highlight the strength in both Carla and Bethany.

Legislation has been proposed to change how we classify employees either as “exempt” or “non-exempt” as set forth by the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 CFR Part 541, Section 13 (a)(1). This has potential implications for both employers and employees. I have set forth excerpts from the regulation below to help everyone understand the regulation.

According to The Wage and Hour Division (2016) The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in federal, state, and local governments. The FLSA requires employers to pay employees on a regular payday, in relation to the work period. Employers must pay employees all hours worked per work week, without averaging or moving hours to minimize overtime pay, each week stands alone. The Wage and Hour Division (2016) states overtime must be paid at a rate of at least one and one=half times the employee’s regular rate of pay for each hour worked in a workweek in excess of the maximum allowable in a given type of employment. Where violations exist in relation to overtime pay or minimum wage enforcement through legal remedies go into effect, allowing employees to get paid back for their loss of wages, or liquidated damages.

The Bad Blood singer is a giver. Previously, Taylor Swift donated $50,000 to fans battling cancer. She also provided a $15,000 charitable contribution to a family affected by a tragic car accident. Recently, she opened up her purse and shelled out $50,000 to the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.

The CEO and the average workers fall into two different categories the exempt and non-exempt. With the exempt positions they are salary paid therefore they are excluded from minimum wage, overtime regulations, and other rights and protections afforded nonexempt workers. On the other hand nonexempt employees are not exempt from FLSA requirements. These employees must be paid at least the federal minimum wage for each hour worked and given overtime pay of not less than one-and-a-half times their hourly rate for any hours worked

Beauty is a fundamental part of modern society, but has beauty become so important that it is essential to living a fulfilled and satisfying life? Jane Martin, the playwright who wrote the ten minute play Beauty, addresses the issue of the significance of beauty through the central conflict in her story. The two main characters Carla and Bethany represent beauty versus brains. Bethany, the brainy accountant, is jealous of her friend Carla, the beautiful, up and coming model. Bethany believes that Carla is living a more rewarding life that she is. To Carla’s dismay, Bethany uses her last wish granted from the genie in the lamp to become beautiful. Although the ten minute play Beauty is in unrealistic in nature, it provokes the audience to consider

Hourly employees are requesting a minimum wage increase to $15 and it is causing an enormous commotion. Pursuing a necessary change for family betterment employees are voicing their opinion. Unions were employees’ voice years ago and through collective bargaining both the employer and employees would come to a solution. Utilizing unions is not an option theses day due to the decline of employee’s involvement with unions. Today different laws and acts provide a voice for the employees below, there will be a brief discussion of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Equal Pay Act of 1963. Additionally, reasons to substantiate and disapprove the tentative wage increase to $15 will be explored and potential ways employers will incorporate the wage increase.

As Norma sits in the front of the office, most picture her as a receptionist or such. She is not; she works in Accounts Payable. However, Norma always goes over and above to help all of us in the office. In addition to daily duties, she never hesitates to help us with shipping requests and forms, ordering supplies, arraigning lunches when customers or corporate management is in town, and just being to go to person for help. She took on the responsibility to lead the charge to get badges, parking access, and elevator access to our employees. She also sets up the conference rooms, with supplies, chairs and media as needed for our larger events.

The treatment of women in today’s culture has a lot of problems. Even though in the last century women have been treated better there are still problems. Women are and have always been sexualized in everything they do. Most of the time women are judged on their appearance alone. Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift is a piece of literature that comes across as misogynistic. There are many times in the book when women are judged primarily on their looks and come across as unable to control themselves. However, Swift is using this kind of writing style to actually convey a point to society. By making these issues larger in the book and by reversing gender roles, it is easier to see all the problems that our society has with the treatment of women. Jonathan Swift is not misogynistic and is trying to prove a point so the treatment of women is improved in our society. The scene of the
