The Video Alex And Melinda

First off, Melinda’s fear. The first time she compared herself to a bunny rabbit, she and Andy meet in the parking lot. She thinks that if she stands very still he won't notice her, after all, it is how rabbits survive “they freeze in the presence of predators” (Anderson, 97). However, that attic doesn't work so “BunnyRabbit bolts” (Anderson 97). Melinda says that staying

Alex’s decision to not talk to his sister before leaving must have been hard, the

A few moments later Brook interrupted Ann saying that the situation had to be taken care right away. Ann knew that the marketing analysis was about to be finished by Joe, so she decided to have the meeting with the employees right away. She listened to all the employees’ complaints and told them that although an increase will not happen overnight she will commit herself to examine and take care of the issue. She also told them that she will try to get some funds for a training program where everyone could acquire new skills.

The second time Alex spoke to Jonah was after finding his contact information in his old address book. During this conversation, Alex realizes that accustomed profitability measures cannot be applied to the plant he is managing and he must follow measures that better relate to his individual plant. Jonah teaches Alex three

It does not let her feels and looks so stupid. After Heather joins in the Marthas, she blows Melinda off and Melinda is outcast again. The students hit Melinda in the hall; the girls' bully her at the pep rally all shows Melinda is an outcast, she is unwelcome. Melinda is a coward. "The kids behind me laugh so loud I know they're laughing at me. I can't help myself '' (Anderson 4). Melinda is a timid person. She scareds to tell the truth of that night, thus her friends cannot understand her difficulties. About the event happen at the party, she chooses to escape her past and become silent. Melinda does not talk a lot, either at school or at home to her parents. She acts like she does not care and hid from everyone. When someone bullies her, she just ignores them and suppresses her true feelings. Melinda is also a negative person. '' It is easier not to say anything. Shut your trap, button your lip, can it. All that crap you hear on TV about communication and expressing feelings is a lie'' (Anderson 9). From this quotation, it is evident to see Melinda is negative. Her thinking is negative and

Maria says enough said, but warren ask Whitney how are you doing, Whitney right away asks what’s up? Maria tells Whitney that her and warren are starting to develop a new online venture and that they want her to cut back on her java programming for the online books and to work with Andrew and warren and some others to develop prototypes for the online gaming venture. Whitney asks develop? Warren says from scratch, Whitney asks if they are kidding, and then says she has some great ideas for it. Maria says good and with all the shuffling it will help the company to grow. Whitney ask about the online book site, warren says what about it, she tells him of the time spent on it and comments it is a lot better than it was months ago. Warren and Maria agree, and say that all the work is appreciated and that with the new ventures it will bring more money. Whitney says she thinks she can do both but also states that she has such little free time as it is. Warren cut her off and tells her to think about it. Whitney thanks them and appreciated the offer, but now wonders if she can do both.

The case is about Melissa Richardson, middle manager (sales manager) of the multi-cultural organization, who’s been promoted and is challenging a number of factors at the workplace, that affects her and her team’s ability to perform well.

After Mike explained the situation, Alex was silent for a long time and then finally said:

Alex has a lot of funny little things that most people don’t know about her. For example, she

Sherrill entered the conversation by stating her dislike for family owned stores. They were okay, but a corporate store sold products at a cheaper price. A discussion started from her statement, “I’m still having trouble adjusting to all the

In the video of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, John Oliver discusses the problem of mass incarceration in the United States. He starts by talking about the extremely large prison population in America. According to Oliver America has a larger prison population than China despite having a much smaller overall population. In fact America has the largest prison population in the entire world. He then discusses how the prison population is mostly populated with minorities and that whites are extremely underrepresented in prisons. Oliver talks about how the prison population has grown eight times larger since 1970 and of that population 50% of the people in federal prisons and 25% of people in state prisons are there for a drug related crime. Oliver continues the discussion by talking about the general lack of public concern for prisoners. He uses clips from television shows as examples of how popular culture uses prison as a joke and does not take it seriously specifically when talking about sexual assault in prisons. He then shows another clip of the Director of Federal Prisons not knowing how big a solitary confinement cell is to point out that even the people in charge of prisons seem not to care about them. Oliver’s next talking point is about prisons becoming privatized and companies like Aramark and the Geo who care more about the profit of the companies than the prisoners they take care of. He ends the segment by summarizing that the conditions

Foley: She believed that the advice of consultant was not correct. She did not want CEO to sale the hospital. First, she was just promoted to be Senior Vice President and COO. She was quite satisfied with this job because she had more responsibility for the hospital and more chance to complete her MAB. What is more, she had a strong mentor, CEO. Right now, CEO was counting on her support. If she disagreed with him, he might lose confidence on her. So she might lose career opportunities in the future. In the meanwhile, she thought such disagreement means that she betrayed CEO and let him down. She might also leave the

To be an affective sales manager at Phoenix, Mrs. Richardson needed to be able to bring together this group of insubordinate employees who seemingly did not work well as a team. Of these employees, only a few had been meeting or exceeding expectations of the organization. More so the attitudes of the employees were so far from acceptable that there is question as to why they held the positions that they did. Alex Hoffman, top sales representative, showed little respect for Mrs. Richardson, however as he consistently brought in sales he was not a candidate to let go. Although, Mrs. Richardson still should have had a discussion with Mr. Hoffman about his actions and the fact that when other employees perceive his disrespect then they may in turn do the same. On top of that, Sarah Vega continuously showed up for work late and even missed one day per week on average. These actions are unacceptable in the workplace and worthy of termination. A third employee, Chelsea Peterson, showed absolutely no respect for her new sales manager. These sorts of actions do not deserve to go unnoticed or unpunished. Melissa Richardson should have scheduled a mandatory meeting for all employees in order to lay down the law. She needed to tell them all together as a team exactly what her expectations for
