Rita has been at her new position for a little over a year. She's worked very hard and put in lots of extra hours to do an excellent job. She wants to make a good impression with Bella and Sydney, the other two people in her department, by sharing the workload and being a team player. Lately when she stops by Bella's desk, she finds her Internet shopping for clothing, researching homes for sale or exploring possible vacations. Rita has also become aware of how much time Bella spends socializing with employees from other departments. As the new person Rita has been so buried with the amount of work Bella and Syndey assign her that she's never noticed this before.
At the department meeting this morning, Sydney announced their department would be responsible for a new project. She would not be able to take it on because she was completely swamped. Bella quickly agreed and suggested Rita should be the one responsible because she is so talented. Rita is already putting in a 50-hour week and does more than her share. What should Rita do?
I think that she should tell her boss whats happening. Tell her to watch Bella work one day and don't tell her that you are going to be watching what she does. Maybe would also be a good idea for her to tell her boss if possible to get something that monitors her computer that when she's not doing work and just shopping and stuff she shouldn't be on at work maybe have it so the computer shuts off every time.
ReplyDeleteShe should let Bella know that if she is going to get paid for working she needs to work. If i was Ritta i would not put up with doing all of her work all the time. If she continued to not help out i would tell the boss and let them know that she isnt doing anything. If that didnt work i wouldnt do the work either that way they knew it was Bella not helping.
ReplyDeleteAs Rita I was tell them that i'm feeling swamped also and is taking on a fifty hour week. I would then suggest that we should all pitch in to get it done so we are all responsible. Also I would thank them for the nice compliment and thank them for giving her such a project being new and all.
ReplyDeleteShe should tell her boss that the other employees are slacking and not doing the work that they are assigned. She should also talk to the other employees because they are taking advantage of Rita by having her do all of the work because she is a new worker. I think that they shouldn't be giving her so much work because that isn't being a good worker.
