Furthermore, at least 15 percent of all ski orders were more than two days late, even though customers did not miss a trip or vacation as a result. In these situations, an attempt to respond to these difficulties, Howe instituted a merit performance system for the molders only. Although productivity seemed to increase for a while, but this was not the permanent solution. Furthermore the molders felt that their merit ratings were inaccurate, because the store managers could not observe them much of the time. Further, they argued that their performance would have been much higher if other employees had not interrupted them with questions about appropriate bindings or failed to clearly identify the appropriate equipment on the sales tickets. Other employees also complained because they were not given the opportunity of merit base pay. Sales representative argued that their work was essential for high sales figures and high quality equipments. Similarly all others employees started complaints. Howe had to conclude that the employees were correct on many of these points, so she suspended the merit plan at the end of the ski season and promised to re-evaluate its fairness. Even more convincing were several indications that productivity problems were not limited to molder employees. Complaint about customer service increased 20 percent during the year. Although Howe mentioned this to employee in the stores when she visited and asked the store managers

Her father stood menacingly in front of the car as your son started the engine, and your son, not one to be intimidated, yelled out the window that he would run over her father if he did not get out of the way. The father, who doggedly stood his ground until the last possible moment, barely escaped injury when he finally jumped aside.

The replacement highly paid workers with lower-paid workers did have an effect on Circuit City’s poor performance. Circuit City had built its reputation on good customer service or expect employees. When Circuit City decided to replace their top performers with entry level employees they directly affected the customer experience. In this case Circuit City was known for their expert employees and quality customer service; when they replace those excellent employees with average employee they no longer had any competitive advantages. The swapping of employees wasn’t the only factor that caused them to fail; they also had competitors who were out strategizing them in their industry.

The contention that the employees who were given benefit in the judgments of the CAT and on that basis have got further promotions may lose the benefit of such promotion is not tenable. If some employees were unjustly and improperly granted a higher scale of pay and on that basis were given promotion to a higher post then the basis of such promotions being nonexistent, the superstructure built on such foundation should not be allowed to stand. This is absolutely necessary for the sake of maintaining equality and fair play with the other similarly placed employees.

Why am I feeling so warily towards this trip? Why now, and never before? Similar questions kept pondering through my mind when boarding the plane that would take us to our home country, Peru. It had been close to five years with the absence of my birthplace, my early childhood. I never realized how my childhood environment differed from my present life, but somehow, this year I felt more aware of where I stood. My parents would tell me to value the luck we had, but I never gave it much thought. Back then, I would consider it but not in depth, until I was smacked with it in the face. Though I didn’t know at the time, I contemplated the idea of being exposed to a new perspective. However, the feeling wasn’t enormously overwhelming, so I would force it to reside in the back of my mind where it was hidden but kept haunting.
I used to be the person that went along with what everyone else was doing. I used to be the person that focused on basic values such as love, honesty, and confidence. Even though those are values that everyone is expected to have, I never fully understood what they were supposed to look like in everyday life. It was last year around September when my Church released the sign up sheet for a mission trip to Costa Rica. When I was 14-years-old, I attended a trip to Costa Rica with my church. I had the experience, but was younger and more immature at that time. The summer of 2015 was eye-opening. However, what I experienced never officially stuck with me. In early January I decided to sign up for the 2017 mission trip, in hopes that I would find myself there.
Three days a week, sixteen students drag themselves out of bed before the crack of dawn, wishing they had an extra ten minutes of sleep. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, without fail, they begrudgingly get ready for the day as they pack their bags and eat breakfast. As one of these sixteen students, I myself often wondered if what I am about to do will be worth the lost hour of sleep and studying. But ultimately, I, along with the other fifteen, continue to drag myself slowly towards school week after week. One by one, we walk through the glass doors that welcome us to the place we have learned to call our home: St. Daniel’s Hall. The large hall, usually filled with groups of students joking and laughing, is still dark and quiet, waiting to be filled with the life of the day. It is so silent, we almost balk at disturbing the atmosphere. As we half-heartedly greet each other, we discuss our day to come and lament over our lack of sleep.
Throughout this semester I have slowly honed my writing style and skills through the creation of each piece of this portfolio. At the beginning of the semester, the starting paper was a daunting task due to the unique task of writing with another person’s writing style. I tackled the paper head-on by first choosing a topic that I had many thoughts on. The topic of how fear and curiosity drives humanity’s own personal drive to accomplish. This allowed me to see which essay style best suited the topic, thus letting me to jump start the writing of the essay. At the beginning all of my thoughts tumbled out onto the paper; however, as I revised, slowly the paper came together into a semblance of cohesive thoughts. With the second revision the essay ended up containing varying examples within the writing style to truly embody Solnit’s writing style of utilizing various examples for one general topic. Moving from the first essay to the second essay, I returned to more familiar territory of writing academic essays. Writing this essay was comparatively easier than the first essay mainly for the fact that I have written academic, analysis essays throughout my high school career. Getting all my thoughts out onto paper came easily, without much brain scraping. With the first revision I added more quotation and analysis to beef up what was already in my paper. The analysis added within my paper after the first revision provided a stronger argument on the position I took on the presence
Many are raised and taught by their parents certain morals and values to live by. As a young boy, I had been educated to take action and work for things myself. My parents strongly stressed that I learn to become independent in order to get ahead in life. At the time, I had never been put in such a position in which my actions had no impact whatsoever. In my own universe, I believed that I, a young boy, was the center of all attention, the most significant factor of my environment. For example, I learned through elementary school, that only I was able to improve and maintain my grades, solely through dedication and perseverance. Through sports, I was able to learn that to exceed, I, myself, must practice often and be determined to become faster and stronger. I could not rely on others to magically improve my intelligence nor physicalities. By relying on others, it could potentially make you weak and useless on your own. Applying this work ethic into the real world, I was able to get throughout my elementary life without any signs of stress nor hopelessness.
