Clara, a junior pre-med student, is working part-time and taking a 15 hour credit load at school. Clara enjoys her pre-med courses very much, but they are very difficult and time consuming. Her current job as a 'gopher' at an architectural design firm requires her to work 25 hours a week which really cuts into her available study time. In fact, she is barely getting 'C's' in two of the classes she needs for her major. The pay in her present job is good, and she enjoys the work, although she is not getting a lot of practical experience. Clara does not want to drop any of her classes as she needs them to graduate so that she can be admitted to medical school in the coming year. She also knows that she needs good grades to be admitted to medical school. Up until now, Clara has been able to work at her job and still get good grades, but the difficult courses she is taking now require much more of her time. Clara is not sure how to solve her problem.
originality
Clara should talk to her boss about an exception to the 25 hr. min. If the boss doesn't like the idea of cutting her hours, Clara needs a new job. A new job that maybe only requires a minimum of 12-16 hours per week.

Although her job pays well its not worth failing her classes and having to retake them. She needs to think long term and whats good for her. I think her best option is to quit her job and if she needs the money get another job that maybe pays more an hour and requires less of her time. Maybe a job that she is able to work on her school work.

She doesn't have a problem. She is only working 25 hours and she is only taking 15 hours. Yawn. She needs to study harder or move back in with her parents.

Clara should find a new job that allows her more time to study, especially since the job she has doesnt offer her any experience in the field of work she is interested in. Maybe she can find a job as a gopher at a medical office or hospital, they may be more accustomed to working with med students and will understand her time constraints.

I would see if you can get any hours cut back at work, but if you can't i would bring some of your study materials to work and get as much in as you can in on breaks..or even at times when you have nothing to do at work..that way you can fit both in at the same time.

Solution 1: Clara could choose a combination of hours that could allow her to maximize her study time at her current job. (ex. she could work 8.5 hours on Saturday, and 3-4 hours on the other days of the week, etc). She should meet with her manager and describe her concerns. Solution 2: Clara could find work at a similar job at a local hospital, which would also help bulk up her resume for when she has to apply for a job in the medical field. She may easily be able to find another part-time position that gives her more experience in her desired field. Solution 3: Clara could see if her college has any job postings listed. A lot of times they will have different jobs that are very flexible with the student's schedule. -Clara shouldn't drop any of her classes, and should make school a priority.

Clara, a junior pre-med student, is working part-time and taking a 15 hour credit load at school. Clara enjoys her pre-med courses very much, but they are very difficult and time consuming. Her current job as a 'gopher' at an architectural design firm requires her to work 25 hours a week which really cuts into her available study time. In fact, she is barely getting 'C's' in two of the classes she needs for her major. The pay in her present job is good, and she enjoys the work, although she is not getting a lot of practical experience. Clara does not want to drop any of her classes as she needs them to graduate so that she can be admitted to medical school in the coming year.

I think that if Clara likes her job she should try to cut back the hours. School is very important, but having a job she enjoys is also important. The first option would be to cut back hours. If that cannot be accomplished then I would suggest dropping one class and taking it during the summer. My third option, would be to quit the job.

Write condensed version of her notes onto pieces of paper she can keep in her pocket and whip out whenever she has an extra few minutes to study. Look for ways to relate her studies to the real world, and point it out to someone when she does notice an instance of something she is studying. Make friends and study with them.

She should look to see if she could get a job at a local hospital or doctors office or clinic. This way, she will be getting experience that she needs for med school, she will be sure it's what she wants to do, and she may be studying a little while she works. Even if the pay is not as good, the hours may be better and it will be more helpful for her choice of career.

It seems clear that Clara needs to find another job. Her priority is school and if she wants to get into med school she has to have excellent grades in order to compete for a spot. An ideal job would be one that allows her some time to study while working, while also gaining practical experience. She should apply at local hospitals and clinics for a part time job that would give her practical experience and perhaps more time to study.

Clara should have a friend or colique go with her on her different gopher trips. While on these trips she can read or study. If she cannot get someone to drive her she should record her professors lectures and listen to them or her books on tape as she drives around. That way when she gets home she can do any writing or reviewing that she had to do. Therefore she could keep her job and be productive at both.

Cut down on her hours at work or find a new job in the medical field. She can always tell her boss about her situtation at school and working at an Architectural firm isn't going to help her in medicine. Finding a job in the medical field will help her gain experience in medicine and might even help her in some of her classes.

Come up with an original and creative solution for the following real-world problem: Clara, a junior pre-med student, is working part-time and taking a 15 hour credit load at school. Clara enjoys her pre-med courses very much, but they are very difficult and time consuming. Her current job as a 'gopher' at an architectural design firm requires her to work 25 hours a week which really cuts into her available study time. In fact, she is barely getting 'C's' in two of the classes she needs for her major. The pay in her present job is good, and she enjoys the work, although she is not getting a lot of practical experience. Clara does not want to drop any of her classes as she needs them to graduate so that she can be admitted to medical school in the coming year. She also knows that she needs good grades to be admitted to medical school. Up until now, Clara has been able to work at her job and still get good grades, but the difficult courses she is taking now require much more of her time. Clara is not sure how to solve her problem..

she should weigh out her priorities. it seems as if money is the only real reason for her staying at her curret job so she should just apply for fafsa or loans and go through school with that money.

I think that Clara could possibly pass her courses if she takes to studying while at her job. As a gopher for an Architectural Design firm I'm pretty sure she doesn't have to spend that much time going from place to place. I think those 25 hours a week she's working can also be spent studying for her courses. It's called multitasking Clara.

I would have to tell her to cut back on her work hours or find a job that will work for her this quarter. School is much more important to to let the grades slip. take a leave of absences for the remainder of the quarter so she can come back when she doesn't have so much work in school.

Clara needs to cut back on her job so she can study longer. however if she must have the job in order to pay for school Clara can study while at work on her breaks. she can make flash cards of the basic things that she needs to know and go through them on her spare time. this will help her to prepare for her actual studying where she has to know everything. since she has been studying the basic terms and knowledge at work, Clara will have an easier time studying the harder material and not feel so behind.

Clara needs to cut down on her hours at work because her grades are more important, in order for her to get into med school. If she needs to work those hours for financial reasons then she needs to not have a full load of classes and only go to school part time.

Cannot do both at the same time either do one or the other is the first option. Second is to place her classes in the morning and work at night so she can get a break to do her homework. Then ask for her lunches to be an hour long due to all the homework. She needs to talk with her job and see if she can pull most of the hours during the weekend so she can do most of her homework during the week. Another suggesstion would be to set her classes in the afternoon and work night so she can do her homework in the morning and stay up late to do her homework in order to get enough sleep and do all the rest of her things.

First, if I was her, I would ask her current manager or boss if there was anyway she could cut back her work hours due to her current school work load. Obviously, this semester is maybe only the slight case of more difficulty. Since she has been there for a while maybe they will understand her situation and be understanding knowing that she is a good student and plans to apply for medical school. Secondly, if that does not work, I would ask for some time off to that she may catch up in her school work. If that is not an option either, than it would be better to consider looking for another job and possibly taking out some loans to help her in the mean time. Maybe she can take a position else where with fewer hours but similar pay. There is always the ability for her to work full time in the summer to make up for her loss in pay, or at least she can plan for that next summer to save money so that she will not have to be so dependent on her work pay currently.

How solve this problem depends on the firm she works for. If she has proven to be a good employee and wishes to stay employed with the firm, she should ask for a leave of absence until the semester is over and then return to the job. If the company does not allow this, she should consider leaving the job and focusing solely on school. If she is positive she wants to work in the medical field some day, working for an architecture firm may not be the best option for her. She could take out more student loans if she needs the money, as most jobs in the medical field have loan repayment for their employees.

To keep her job and maintain good grades, Clara should bribe her professors with either money or sexual services (whichever the professor would prefer). This way she wouldn't have to attend class, can increase her savings by working more (provided that the monetary bribes aren't too high), and wouldn't have to worry about actually learning the material until she takes the tests to get into medical school. By that time, she'd have enough money saved to where she could quit and spend all her time studying, so it's win-win all around (especially for the professors).

The Upper Management of Acme Company has been holding wage increases to a 6 percent level. The decision to hold wage increases came about from an effort to reduce product twice in the past year due to increased shipping costs of materials, and upper management does not feel that Acme can remain competitive if there are any future increases in the cost of their product. Unfortunately, the engineering job market in the area stands at about 12 jobs for every one trained engineer. Because of this, recruiters are cropping up and are enticing Acme's engineers with better jobs and better benefits. As of late, turnover among Acme's engineers has increased and productivity has decreased. Also, there is a considerable grumbling among current engineers about Acme's policy on wage increases. Mr. Wentworth, an executive vice president, has directed Scott to improve the situation in the engineering department. Mr. Wentworth feels that much of the dissatisfaction is based upon the recruiters' enticements of better opportunities in other places. The concern at Acme is to maintain a quality group of engineers at a high level of productivity. Management at Acme does not know how to solve this problem.

The Upper Management of Acme Company has been holding wage increases to a 6 percent level. The decision to hold wage increases came about from an effort to reduce product twice in the past year due to increased shipping costs of materials, and upper management does not feel that Acme can remain competitive if there are any future increases in the cost of their product. Unfortunately, the engineering job market in the area stands at about 12 jobs for every one trained engineer. Because of this, recruiters are cropping up and are enticing Acme's engineers with better jobs and better benefits. As of late, turnover among Acme's engineers has increased and productivity has decreased. Also, there is a considerable grumbling among current engineers about Acme's policy on wage increases. Mr. Wentworth, an executive vice president, has directed Scott to improve the situation in the engineering department.

In order to keep the employees that Acme still has, they should try to buy cheaper products with decreased shipping costs while maintaining quality. This will allow Acme to use more money on their employees and employee benefits.

I believe to maintain a high level of productivity, Acme Company must remain in the competition with wages. The quality of workers is very important in a business, and most people set out for the job that is willing to pay the most. Even if they can increase their wages a little bit, it would help them in the long run. Also, make the job more flexible. Make schedules easier to work around, and provide incentives for the workers that other corporations may not provide.

Acme could reevaluate their products and see if there is a cheaper product that is just as good and effective as the one they are using now. This would allow more money to be given to the workers for their hard work. Also Acme could see what the competitors are giving the employees to keep them happy and reevaluate the benefits they give their employees in order to keep them satisfied.

I would probably make more internships, so students and graduate students would have the opportunity to work in a competitive environment. It would be beneficial for the students and the company. Since we would have internship, students would benefit from experience. Acme would benefit, since we could get cheaper labor. This would also lead to more students working at Acme after they graduate.

Acme Corporation needs to start with employee surveys. Finding out why workers are dissatisfied with their current job and why other companies employment opportunities are better would be helpful. Acme may not be able to compete with everything their competitors are doing to satisfy their employees, but even trying to compete in a couple ways could really make a difference. Worker benefits would be another way to keep employees happy. An example would be paid time off (PTO) that they could accumulate after so many days and hours worked that they didn't call in sick or that the employees were working efficiently. PTO could be cheaper than bonuses because there would have to be a incentive to get it and not everyone will work to get it. Other little things management could do is even something as simple as a food Friday, just providing a meal for employees or having a potluck. Little things show workers that their employees care make them feel important and noticed leaving them satisfied which makes them want to perform their job better to impress their bosses. One last idea, instead of a normal Christmas bonus which could cost the company hundreds of dollars, a little gift for each employer would be much cheaper! On that note, Acme company should look outside employment problems to figure out how to make more of a profit! Acme company might need to find a different shipping method or ship smarter to reduce that cost. Reduced shipping cost would equal more profit and more profit means more money for employees, happier employees equals better productivity which in turns equals better competition with competitors.

I think that a way to keep the workers without increasing wage is to improve the work environment. Being really positive towards the workers will make them feel wanted and welcomed, which they may not feel at other work places. An extra incentive would be to increase wage just a bit, but it that is not an option, it could be good to give other type of benefits.

I think that the managers should be willing to take a cut in their pay if they really care about the company so that the other employee's could get paid enough. Also I think that a decrease in pay to the workers that show they are not working hard should be established. That way the employees would have to work hard in order to earn their pay.

In response to this problem I think that the company should let the most beneficial employees obtain a wage increase each year. This would make it so the people that are making the most money, have been employed the longest and therefore have the most expertise and would not want to leave. this would also make others want to stay with the company so that they could obtain those benefits.

The Upper Management of Acme Company has been holding wage increases to a 6 percent level. The decision to hold wage increases came about from an effort to reduce product twice in the past year due to increased shipping costs of materials, and upper management does not feel that Acme can remain competitive if there are any future increases in the cost of their product. Unfortunately, the engineering job market in the area stands at about 12 jobs for every one trained engineer.

I think that it would be beneficial for Acme to contact university departments where students are specializing in engineering. I think that it would benefit Acme to visit these universities to discuss future job opportunities with students who will be graduating and entering the workforce soon.

I think we should offer the engineers at the companies alternatives to the wage increase. We should offer them stock in the company and increase other benefits. We should offer them other benefits such as better health insurance and bonuses for productivity. We should find a way to decrease our shipping costs such as using different companies for shipping or research different places to get the materials from that would give us a reduced rate.

There are several changes that Acme could make to reduce the turnover rate of engineers at the company. Most can agree that money is frequently at the root one's dissatisfaction in their career. Although Acme is unable to provide a larger wage increase, they could try offering stock options or perhaps extra benefits (like gas benefits etc) There are also many affordable options that Acme should consider to reduce this turn over rate. It's rather simple: create a pleasant work environment. This is not in reference to everybody getting along, but appealing to the human brain's desire for an aesthetically pleasing environment. These changes can be subtle and still produce happier workers. Acme could start by changing the lighting in the working area of the engineers by removing dim lighting and avoiding fluorescent lighting. More color in the environment could improve the attitude of their engineers towards their job; paint the walls (avoid grey or cream colors), brighten up common/break rooms, get more colorful art etc. Try to open up the space of their working area; minimize cubicles. Also, plants in the work environment have been proven to increase productivity and create what is perceived to be a "healthier" environment. All of these aspects have been proven to create a satisfying and productive environment in the home or at work. Despite the fact that other companies can provide "more benefits" or a "better job", they will most likely fail to match our productive and pleasant work environment. The engineers spend a majority of their weekdays in their work environment, making the more likely to maintain their position with Acme. These adjustments are affordable and potentially extremely effective in reducing the turnover rate of engineers at Acme Company.

It's obvious to me that Acme will continue to lose quality engineers if solutions to their wage and benefits situation isn't addressed. Since their wages can't be increased, the solution needs to come in the form(s) of benefit improvements that are cost effective for Acme while genuinely improvements for the engineers. First, I would suggest getting rid of any company fees the engineers are now having to pay for: gym memberships, fuel costs for company cars, etc. Secondly, their work areas and equipment could be upgraded in areas where they feel the most need. If these upgrades and fee dismissals cost under a bottom line wage increase which could even be discussed; I would recommend implementing these measures soon. Also, more employee family fees for participation in outside activities such as the ones enjoyed by employees on premises here could be discussed with the engineers: YMCA memberships, etc. Just getting into discussions with the engineers about their situation could inspire more company loyalty from their group.

Develop a training program in which the current engineers train others to become eligible for the position as well. This will increase the number of engineers who can do the job sufficiently at Acme. Engineers who train others should be given a bonus. Although it is difficult to justify any extra spending of the company's money, spending money on training new employees will help in the long run. Otherwise, many engineers may leave the company, leaving Acme with nobody who can do the job well.

A standard needs to be set on the training level of the engineer. Have a classroom where is it laid out what is expected of every engineer and what it takes to be a trained engineer. From this a superiority level can be established where trained engineers that have gone through the classroom and training will be responsible for training others. This will create a group of engineers that are highly trained and experienced. Set a goal for these employees whether it be a certain level of training or skill or a set time being employed when they can receive a wage increase. This will increase productivity and decrease turnover as long as employees have something to work toward and see benefit out of it. Make it a point that there isn't anything better than Acme.

Acme needs to determine the minimum amount of engineers they need to still function successfully. Then they should do performance evaluations on all the engineers and decide who the best and the brightest are. They should then keep the minimum amount of engineers but only the ones that ranked the highest. Then the company will be free to have higher wage increases because they have less people to pay.

They need to give the workers' something to work for. They need a goal that they should strive for that would make them want to stay and sell more of the product. Give them something like a commission. If they make a certain amount of a product give them a bonus or some type of reward. This will increase their production rates and they will work harder to get that goal. And start being more social with them and have people higher up do a walk through tell them they are doing a good job or help them with a problem if they ask.

Acme is to evaluate whether they value their workers more or the potential increase of cost of their products. I would personally suggest maybe cutting some engineering employees and keeping those with the most experience and work drive. For those who keep their job increase wage and better the benefits.

Acme needs to find a cheaper way to ship their products. Also they need to talk to their employees. If you have disgruntled employees you will have less productivity. There should be wage increases if the employees aren't motivated to work they won't and the company with go down. Also the recruiters need to change their approach.

I suggest that Acme hold wage increases slightly more. By doing this, they can use what is held to get better benefits or wages for the engineers specifically. Then the engineers won't be enticed by the recruiters and they will want to stay at Acme. Also, Acme should show that they have a better work environment than the other places the recruiters are telling the engineers about. Acme could add things to the office that make it a pleasant environment.

Have a better reward for the engineers for staying with the company. Reward them with days off or longer lunch times for working hard and meeting company goals. Or ACME can invest in a less cost heavy product since the cost of their current product is getting too high.

Make sure the Engineers are promised that in time, things will get better. The economy goes up and down and that's just how things work. Make sure that no one else is trying to take them from their jobs for their own. Do not let recruiters come into the workplace, or contact the Engineers. Promise in time the wages will increase.

Acme should listen to all of its employees concerns and respond accordingly and honestly. Open communication within the company will maintain company integrity and increase employees respect for the company, which in turn could motivate them to work harder. Even though the company can't afford all of the jobs and benefits, they should try to conjure up some smaller benefits that are unique to the company. Acme should organize a team to decide creative, inspirational benefits that are low in cost.

If there is not reason to stay at a job, because there are better opportunities working for different companies, then Acme is eliminated as competition.

Acme as a company is going through a financial problem at the time. They won't always be having such a financial situation, and their prices will be able to drop again to where they make a sufficient profit. At that time their employees will be regaining all the great benefits that the company had recruited the engineers with. They will still be keeping their promise of a better job and a better benefit. So, the company needs to look ahead to the future sales and try to have some smaller benefits for the employees until the larger one's are available. Some of the smaller one's could be a company dinner or a small added bonus to one of their checks. Acme's management team needs to get together to discuss how they are going to solve it and let the workers know so that they keep the workers happy and keep them productive while doing a good quality job.

Every Friday Acme should either bring in some type of free lunch for the engineers, or have a giveaway of a random but worthy prize if they meet there quotas for the week. If quotas are exceeded for the month then, Acme should take then entire engineering department out for a company picnic at a family friendly place.

Try to entice the engineer with the non-monetary benefits of the company. Many people are extremely motivated to pick a job based on how much money they will be making, but don't often initially consider traits about a company that would make them want to leave, such as a mean boss, or bad moral of coworkers. When advertising for positions at Acme, stress not only the salary, but that the employee would be fulfilling a need to society, that they are valued and wanted. Tell them that the facilities are state of the art, the managers are very supportive and constructive, and they will be an important contribution to a worthwhile cause. Creating an add for new employees or trying to console present employees, use the kind of supportive, inspirational mood as my manager did for me. Engineers may see that while they might not earn as much money as they could with a different company, Acme is a place where they will feel valued and not want to quit.

The Upper Management of Acme Company has been holding wage increases to a 6 percent level. The decision to hold wage increases came about from an effort to reduce product twice in the past year due to increased shipping costs of materials, and upper management does not feel that Acme can remain competitive if there are any future increases in the cost of their product. Unfortunately, the engineering job market in the area stands at about 12 jobs for every one trained engineer. Because of this, recruiters are cropping up and are enticing Acme's engineers with better jobs and better benefits.

I think that for Acme's Company it is important for the recruiters to be specific when advertising the "better" job "better" benefits promotion. Also, the Company should make clear that holding wage increases will only last as long as the cost of the product increases. Or, perhaps the Company should rethink the number of employers they have, maybe they should hire less to work longer hours.

Acme's solution may be that instead of having a fixed yearly wage increase, there be 2 raises per year each merit based. The harder you work the bigger your wage increase. And to keep engineers motivated, and feel like any improvement they do make will be rewarded the it should be twice a year instead of yearly.

First I would have a meeting with the engineers. I would get their opinions on the matter to hear all of them out. I would make them aware that the job is not about the money but what we are doing for people. I would offer benefits to them that wouldn't help them but not affect the company. For example, maybe more vacation days or bonuses.

Give the engineers a higher wage increase to get them to stick around otherwise there wont be any engineers left at Acme to help run the business. Also, Acme can reduce the cost of their product, making them more competitive.

My solution would be to make a work environment for the engineers that is comparable to the work environments being offered to them. This could include small wage increases and increasing the quality of the work environment. By changing the work environment to be more like the competitor's, this could lessen the engineers want to leave Acme.

Becky is a college student who works part-time at Mark's Pizzeria. Mark, the owner of the restaurant, has treated Becky very well. He gave her a job that she needs to help pay her rent when no other business would employ her because she was arrested for shoplifting three years ago. Mark also lets Becky work around her school schedule, and has asked if she wants to be a shift manager in the summers. Becky's roommate Jim also works at the pizzeria, but Jim has been causing a lot of problems at work. He always avoids doing his job, treats customers rudely, and makes a lot of mistakes with orders. Jim recently began stealing food from the pizzeria. Two days ago the pizzeria was short- staffed, so Jim and Becky were the only employees left at closing time. Jim made 10 extra pizzas and took them home to a party he was hosting without paying for them. Becky feels like she needs to do something about Jim's behavior. However, Becky is hesitant to tell Mark about Jim because Jim is a good friend to Becky. Becky also needs Jim to have a job so he can pay his portion of their rent. Becky does not know what to do.

I would pay for the ten pizzas mark stole, because the food cost would be impossible to hide from Mark. Then I would confront Jim and tell him this is the one and only time I would cover for him and the next will result in me telling the boss on him.

Jim made 10 extra pizzas and took them home to a party he was hosting without paying for them. Becky feels like she needs to do something about Jim's behavior. However, Becky is hesitant to tell Mark about Jim because Jim is a good friend to Becky. Becky also needs Jim to have a job so he can pay his portion of their rent. Becky does not know what to do.

I can talk to Jim about his behavior in the pizzeria, and tell him to straighten his act so that he can be a better person in general; also tell him to figure out a way to talk to Mark without losing his job.

Becky should tell Mark what Jim did and if Jim gets fired then she can either help him find a new job or find a new roommate to cover Jim's rent.

Becky could just ring up the pizzas in Jim’s name and tell her boss that Jim rushed out of work late for the party that he neglected to pay on accident, remaining loyal to the boss that was good to her. Then tell Jim that he is taking advantage of thei friendship and she will not be a part of his stealing just because they are friends and that he has to pay for the pizzas, this gives her time to find a new roommate if necessary. .

Becky should go to Jim first instead of ratting him out. She should tell him she will find a new roommate if he doesn't tell the truth. What he is doing is morally wrong. If he does not confess. I think she should kick him out. Ask for a little help from ork and find a new roommate as soon as possible,
