A detective calls Tuesday, November 11, 2008 6:41 PM My opinion in if Eric or Mr. B is right in firing Eva is that both can be right in a way. Eric is right as when employees work hard and deserve a pay rise they should get one. However, also Mr. B is right as if he let her get a higher pay rise then she would keep asking for another and then he would have to give everyone in that department a higher pay check. And then as he said that if he went along with giving her what she Wanted there would be a 12% delay in his company then if he did that he would have to Give the whole department one and then that percentage would have multiplied and his Company and become less successful. I think that Mr. B is right when not giving her a pay Rise but, when he fired her for protesting he was wrong. As he could have simply talked to her In finding a way of how to settle an agreement so they would both be happy instead of having To fire her.

//Very true Lauren. Compromise is often a better solution. However, compromises are sometimes difficult to reach. It's a complicated question. How do businesses make these decisions every day? What responsibility do businesses have to their employees? Hard questions to answer. Thanks for your ideas.// Yes, I have mad plenty wrong assumptions. One example that I remember clearly was when we went to china for Christmas. Whenever we stay in a hotel me and my two brothers always fights over who gets the big bed and usually there are only two and then then third is the smallest as the hotel puts it in the room and I thought that by the size of the room in china that my whole family was going to be staying in the same room. So, I got the smallest bed so that I wouldn’t have to share with my brothers and it turned out that my parents got there own room and I was stuck with the small, uncomfortable bed for the rest of the time we stayed there. //__What led you to make the incorrect assumption?__// I purposely got the key off my dad so that I could pick my bed first. However, the room that we had, had two double beds and a smaller, single bed in the middle so I thought that by the size of the room and beds that we would all stay in there as my parents would be on one double then two of us would be on the other and I didn’t want to share so I got the single, but, my parents got their own room and I had to stay in the smaller bed. What did you do when you discovered you were wrong? I was embarrassed as my parents laughed at me and my brother rubbed it in my face the whole trip! Is it human to assume or should we be more careful? Yes, I think that it is human for people to assume every once and a while but when it comes to more serious situations I think that people should definitely double check or be prepared for the consequences. For example if you are pregnant and assume that your having a girl and buy all the things you need for a baby girl but it turns out to be a boy and you don’t have anything to care for a baby boy and he would have to wear pink for the first couple of months or more of his life! ||
