Ethics Homework
To solve this problem I would organize a meeting to discuss our priorities. We would sit down and talk about why each of us is lagging behind on our duties. After the meeting we would discover that Troy and Andy are the ones causing us to lag behind. To get Troy back on task, I would tell him that he can’t expect to have such poor productivity and keep his job. However, I would tell him that if the RED company won the $19M, he could expect a substantial raise for his commitment. As for Andy and Shanetta, we would discuss a solution in which Shanetta would cover for Andy while his divorce was filed, but also promise her a raise. I would adjust the terms to satisfy them both, especially Shanetta because she is not the one lagging behind. I would also be honest and tell my manager how hard everyone was working and ask him to reduce his load on Shanetta by not asking her to fulfill her public relations duties during the duration of this project because otherwise she might quit. I am sure that being honest with my manager and discussing my groups problems would help to greatly reduce everyone’s stress load and get everyone back on track.
