George The Banker

Q1. How would you rate obsilek’s approach to the dismissal of George? what
could, or should they have done differently?
Ans. Obsilek’s approach to the George dismissal was inappropriate considering
the number of years of service of George and his track record at the organization.
Moreover, as discussed in the case his productivity level wasn’t that much low
that company should dismiss such an employee. In my opinion obsilek could do
something differently, they might downsize the organization by evaluating the
performance of each employee and those who are unfit to the organizational goals
and are having lower productivity would be dismissed. Loosing employee like
George would be a great loss for obsilek.
Q2. Why do you think George was blindsided by his dismissal? Do you think
there were any way he could have seen the dismissal coming?
Ans. As georage was doing well in his job and he was very satisfied from his
work.management ensured it by sending emails to employees that management
will take every necessary step to keep obsilek from being acquired.george was
blindsided that such a dismissal offer would be made to him as he have went to
obsilek like normal days and he have no knowledge about management is
planning for such a policy to do downsizing.he could see dismissal coming on the
straight way to him by indulging himself in management working and policies
modifications,moreover remaining in touch with the management staff will make
him clear that if there’s a downisizing in organization he might be targeted.
Q3. Why do you think George “opted for security over opportunity every
time”?
Ans. George was doing well in his career and had well reputationthats why he
didn’t opt for opportunity he always opted for security and given priority to it
over opportunity every time because he believes that he needs to be workaholic
and give preference to his work what he is doing. And wanted to be a breadwinner
of family and opportunities were good enough but not more than what he is still
earning. He believes working in obsilek will let him allow to give fee of his
daughters and could cover all his family expenses.
Q4. Do you think George has a right to bitter at obsilek?
Ans. In my opinion,George has a right to bitter at obsilek because it was not in
his knowledge that obsilek is going for downsizing and his name would be
selected.moreover the management had ensured before that they will not let that
happen and do whatever it takes too save the organization ,their promises were
just fake so George will have a right to bitter at obsilek
Q5. Should George take the early retirement option or severance package?
Ans. George should take the early retirement package because it would include
the three years’ salary package that would help him to pay his daughters
university expenses and will help the family to deal with other expenses too. After
that he would be given the pension which would be enough to pursue his old
dream to start up a small business. That would make him again a breadwinner of
family.
Q6. If you were to predict, how do you see George’s life and career in 5 years
of future?
Ans. If I were to predict, I would see George life much comfortable and satisfied
in near furture as the retirement plan would make him allow to give all the
expenses of his daughter’s expenses and they will graduated soon.After that his
career would be more likely to be going towards a business field where he can
use the money of his pension to startup a business that would make him earn some
amount to maintain his support too his family.
