The argument that certain jobs are inherently worth less than others fail to recognize the interdependence of all roles within a business. Working part-time at my local Dairy Queen has given me firsthand experience of the challenges associated with a $9 /hour wage. Despite putting in 36 hours (about 1 and a half days) weekly, the paycheck hovers around $250-$260, highlighting a stark economic reality. This scenario underscores the pressing need for a reassessment and increase in the minimum wage, as it fails to adequately address the financial strains faced by individuals in low-wage jobs.
Living on a $9 /hour wage creates a significant economic strain. Necessities become luxuries, and individuals find themselves on the brink of financial instability. The meagre earnings often lead to a reliance on government assistance programs, highlighting a systemic issue where businesses are not providing sufficient compensation for the labor they benefit from. The current minimum wage falls…

- Please read the case and answer the questions at the end. Please respond to two of your peers. Do you agree or disagree? State University employs a large number of graduate students to work as teaching assistants. The teaching assistants often complain about their work. They feel that faculty and administrators demand too much. A common complaint is their low wages. The graduate students frequently point out that they do much the same work as faculty members, yet they receive only a very small percentage of the pay that faculty members receive. They also claim that faculty members frequently treat them unfairly. Teaching assistants are often asked to do large amounts of grading in very short time periods. Many also feel that faculty members are not very good at communicating expectations. In response to the dissatisfaction of the teaching assistants, a local union representing public workers has begun efforts to organize a labor union.

Its board has just approve a plan to expand operations in two locations in the world whose local populations are overwhelmingly Hindu. The company management knows nothing about Hinduism, except perhaps for a few stereotypes. The company plans to hire most of its staff locally, so it needs basic information about Hinduism so that it can conduct advertising, human resources, and other aspects of its operations without offending cultural sensibilities.Your TaskYou work in the accounting department, but because you have a degree in religious studies, the company’s management has asked you to prepare a brief report on certain aspects of Hinduism. It will use your report as the basis for determining a plan for further study.

- How does business management changes your perspective of business? How has it shaped your ability to lead in the future? Where does your inspiration come from? What are your core values? What are your future goals and how can you use the knowledge gained from business management to reach your full potential?arrow_forwardWhy Won't They Take a Break? Five years ago, your company assigned you to a management position in its new research facility in South Korea. You were thrilled with the promotion and grateful to your bosses, who recognized your skills and talents. At the same time, there was a lot to be nervous about-adjusting to a new culture and language, finding a school for your kids and a job for your wife, figuring out where to buy familiar groceries. But even with all the struggles, you've thoroughly enjoyed your time in Korea, as you got to learn new things from your employees and teach them new things from your experiences. In fact, you're quite surprised that you've had such little conflict with your Korean associates. There is, however, one area that you could never quite get a handle on-vacation time. Like every other employee in the company, your employees were given three weeks of paid vacation per year. But, other than the occasional three-day weekend, they never took any time off.

I decided to retire in Costa Rica and enjoy life with my family. My biggest mistake was leaving my best friend, the most trusted employee, in charge of my stores. He had been in the company since its foundation and always was diligent. However, soon after I left for Costa Rica, my friend started his own coffee shop business while still managing my shops. Two years later, after wondering why sales in my coffee shops had declined, I decided to come in person to find out why. To my surprise – and frankly to my sadness-, my friend had opened four coffee shops near (one of them in front of) my businesses. He claimed that he opened his stores near my stores to take care of my business and his business at the same time. However, he never mentioned to me that he had opened his own stores.
