Week 10 Assignment Status:
Dave was terminated on October 1, 2001.Week 9 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Hal
Task:  COMPLETE
Question:
COMPLETE
Opinion Response: I would
have to lie to my brother. I would not be able to take the chance of the boss not trusting
me again. I would not be able to "get away" with anything ever again because of
a lack of trust, which I already abuse, but never get caught. I would just not chance
anything with having him in there, so I would have to lie to my brother. That would be
best for all parties involved.
Week 8 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Angie
Task:
COMPLETE
Question:
CORRECT
Opinion Response: I would
stay. I would not be able to take something that doesn't seem stable. The only thing that
would make me consider it would be if I didn't like my current job and wanted to get out.
After all, if my photo in the company brochure was such a hit, maybe something more stable
will come along.
Week 7 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Angie
Task: COMPLETE
Question: COMPLETE
Opinion Response: Well,
I had just hung up with a client which was expected to call back several minutes after I
had hung up. I was just "resting my eyes" until the phone rang. After all, you
give breaks to the other employees that have cravings (smokers). Mine was just a different
craving.
Week 6 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Fruitloop
Task:
COMPLETE
Question:
CORRECT
Opinion Response: Since I
already lost the bet, I would just go ahead and take the punishment like a man...well,
sort of. To make sure that the joke is on him, just before I kiss his shoes I would pull
out a big fat marker (color would depend on the shoes, must have contrast). I would take
the marker and color my lips with it. When I kiss his shoes it will leave a nice mark that
will be difficult to get out or won't come out at all.
Week 5 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Did not
have to vote last week
Task:
COMPLETE
Question:
CORRECT
Opinion Response: I would
not be worried about myself. Although, I do not want my date to get into any trouble. If
the supervisor has a problem with it and brings it to our attention, the meeting is
strictly business and a potential client may be joining us (or so we say). We would keep
our "I'm with stupid ->" t-shirts until after the function.
Week 4 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Cheryl
Task:
COMPLETE
Question:
CORRECT
Opinion Response: My
philosophy is nothing is too important that it can't wait until tomorro. I would leave
knowing that they will call back tomorrow if they can't reach me. BUT, because they are an
important client, I would consider two important facts. One, most people would rather go
home (after 5pm) than wait for an hour and two, voicemail is a beautiful thing if used
correctly. I would make them think that I was hard at work and that was the reason I could
not answer their call. Before I would leave for the day, I would set a new message on my
voicemail for when they called. It would say, "Hi, you have reached the voicemail of
Dave. I am unable to take your call right now because I am away from my desk doing
research. If you are calling from Eastern Time call back in one hour, if you are calling
from Central Time call back in two hours, if you are calling from Mountain Time call back
in three hours and if you are in Pacific Time call back in four hours. If you are unable
to do so, please leave a message and I will get back with you as soon as possible. Thanks
for your time, it is valuable to us."
Week 3 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Kerri
Task:
COMPLETE
Question:
CORRECT
Opinion Response: I would
have to create "The battle of the Smells." The guy sitting obviously has a smell
that kills, so I would have to choose my weapon to battle back. I would go back to the
lunch counter and tell them that I need to have a large onion to go with whatever it was
that I was having for lunch. I would sit down beside the smelly guy and move the onion to
side of the tray closest to him. I would make conversation (trying to avoid the thought
and smell of the onion), so that he would have to look my way (or the path of the onion).
Successfully, the onion would bother him so much (bringing tears to his eyes) that he
would have to get up and move or hurry to finish his lunch and leave, which I then would
be able to enjoy mine.
Week 2 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Buddhaboy
Task: COMPLETE
Question: CORRECT
Opinion Response: I would
approach the boss asking him to call an emergency meeting of all staff members. I would
inform the staff that I am aware of the virus and the danger to our equipment that it
poses. I also know how to fix the problem. That is the good news. The bad news is that it
is going to take the rest of the day to fix. My recommendation is to send everyone home
for the rest of the day, since all of the systems will be down. I may even have to turn
off all of the power in the building to fix this one. Once the boss sends everyone home
and leaves for the day, I would go in and fix the virus, which may take about 5 to 10
minutes ad head out fishing for the rest of the day.
Week 1 Assignment Status:
Voted To Fire: Did not
have to vote last week
Task: COMPLETE
Question: CORRECT
Opinion Response: Well,
for one, I do not believe in fighting brown-nosing with brown-nosing, so I would have to
look at this at a different angle. Humble the
brown-noser so that the boss has to rely on me. Whatever
the boss needed I would “volunteer” to assist the brown-noser in completing the
assignment that was given. Once the pre-work
was done on the project, I would also “volunteer” to type up and put together
the work to be submitted. The boss would be
totally unaware of my “volunteering”. I
would give the brown-noser a manipulated, poor submission.
After the boss has reviewed the poor work, and the brown-noser was humbled,
he would come to me with the work which I then could submit the complete and correct work without
brown-nosing.
