Discussion Thread: State My Path and Contrasting
After completing this week’s readings and watching the following video, read the brief scenario and then answer the following questions.
You are the Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) for a clothing retailer with over 100 store locations. You scheduled a meeting with Joe, a store manager, after receiving a phone call on your organization’s anonymous tip line. The caller stated Joe was giving the “good shifts” to his favorite three employees. Joe sits down in front of you and is obviously angry. In a raised voice Joe declares, “Staff should not dictate my schedule, right?! Who are they, to tell me how to do my job!”
