Pam and Julie Case Study

Pam and Julie worked at J & J’s Supermarket. Pam has worked there since 2017. Julie has worked there since 2019. Randy, their manager, has a
position open for head cashier making two dollars more an hour. He knows he is expected to give the job to Pam, who has been working there
for more years and is seldom late, even though she is out “sick” frequently. However, Julie—who has fewer years’ experience—is always on
time and is almost never absent.

2. How should Julie feel if Pam gets the job?

Julie should feel disappointed with this decision because she is more reliable than Pam.
3. How should Pam feel if Julie gets the job?
