1.

Joseph has been employed at your company for a year and is pretty familiar with the routine responsibility of his
job. Lately, however, he has been struggling to accomplish basic tasks and seems like he is disinclined to participate
in an upcoming team project with Kate, his co-worker. As their supervisor, how will you address this situation?

• To address this situation first I will consult him and talk to him what is his problem, why he has been like that
suddenly. As his supervisor I'm willing to help my employee if they have a problem. Whatever things that I will hear
to his respond, I will surely accept it and help him from that. Because it was the best supervisor must do.

2. You are a manager at a supermarket. Your full-time employee, Mia, who is always on time for her shifts, requests
to leave for an hour during the middle of your shift for an appointment. You look at the schedule and determine
there is enough coverage for her to leave and grant her request. A part-time, undependable, hourly employee, Gio,
hears about this and is upset that Mia is getting special privileges. Gio is now in your office saying that it is unfair.
He previous asked off for a half-day to sleep in after attending a late-night concert, and you declined his request.
He is now asking for an early out as well. How will you handle this request?

• Being upset about that is I think acceptable but of course I’ll explain to Gio why is that happened. First is Mia’s
reason of leave is reasonable of course I won’t allow him to leave if it’s not that important. His reason for asking
of leaving is unreasonable. I mean, It’s not my fault if he’s lack of sleep because he attending late night concert. In
the first place, he should think first that he have a work the next day of concert before attending because that can
affect his working day of course. Maybe he should ask me early to leave so that I can organize the schedule and
maybe I can give him a chance. And of course I’ll explain that all to Gio in a calm and in a positive way
3. You are part of a team that is preparing a presentation for a major conference. The final meeting on the
presentation is this morning at 9 a.m. There are four participants: Brielle, Nate, Chris and yourself. You arrive in the
meeting room at 8:55 and Nate is Chris arrives at 9:02. You continue to wait for Brielle to arrive so you can begin.
No one has heard from her. You are getting irritated and feeling anxious. At 9:10 you can feel your muscles
tightening and breathing increasing. Nate and Chris are visibly angry and talking about how stressed they are. You
NEED to get this done today. At 9:20, all of you are fidgeting and decide to begin. At 9:23, Brielle arrives with no
apology or explanation. How will you handle this situation?

• If I were to decide, I’ll still allow him/her to join us to present because he is still part of the team and that’s also
her responsibility and for the flow of the presentation to be smooth. but of course we also need the opinion of
our other team members because I wasn't the only one affected because at first what he did was really wrong.
She's on a team so she should be responsible for everything plus she hasn't apologized yet which turns out that
she might think what she did was okay. But in my part, I’ll talk to my team mates that we have to calm down
despite the anxious we felt because of what happened because we shouldn’t present it well if we don’t calm
down and if we get mad with each other. And after the presentation, I’ll talk to Brielle that what she did wasn’t
right so she won’t repeat it. also he should apologize to her team mates because he failed to be a good and
responsible member.
4. Kathy was a member of a selection panel for an editorial position. Jean was one of the unsuccessful applicants. Her
application was considered to be pretty strong, but the role was offered to another. Shortly after, you, who chaired
the selection panel, discovered that Kathy is living with Jean’s ex-husband, Miguel, and things are decidedly cool
between Kathy and Jean. How will you handle this situation?

• Well the first thing I will do is I will first investigate about Kathy and Jean’s relationship or conflict between the
two. If I prove that Kathy deliberately did not give the role offered to Jean just because of Jean’s past
relationship with her ex husband, I will talk to Kathy about what she did wrong and to give Jean a chance to
apply and give her opportunity weather he really deserves the role. And about Kathy, For me she has to
undergo Disciplinary Action because of what she did that the conflict between the two could not be involved at
work. And being selection panel must be professional.
