Susie is a mother of 2 who just recently became a widow. She
looked for a job to be able to support her family. She found
three: (1) bank manager; (2) fast food waitress; (3) tutor. Her 2
main goals are: (1) take care of her children; (2) find ways to
support their daily needs.
Philip is the bank executive who was the former boss of Susie. He
knows how Susie is as a manager. He understands, too, her present
condition. His main goal is to hire someone fast.
Philip wants to hire Susie but is limited because the job requires a
full-time, 10-hour/ day manager. Should he revise the bank’s policy?
Susie was able to arrange to have her mom baby-sit while she’s at work.
However, for 9 instances in a window of 23 days during her 1st month, Susie was
either habitually late or would not come to work without notifying Philip.
Philip got a mandate to fire Susie. Philip asks your guidance to legally manage
Susie’s exit from the company (create a process flow).
