Opinion Response:
"I'll be honest with you. I'm not a salesman.
I would give you my regular spiel about how great the shoes are, and maybe he would like a pair, and what a great gift they make (got any grandkids?). But I would definitely take no for an answer. It's just not in my personality to pressure people into doing what they don't want to do."

Voted To Fire: Flash
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETED, 4th to finish
Question Response: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT
Opinion Response:
"I would remind him of my cooking skills and
the time that I set the kitchen on fire, and tell him he would probably get a much more satisfying meal if someone else made it for him. Then I'd point out someone who is lower on the corporate ladder and let him know that she is a fabulous cook! "

Opinion Response:
"Humpy Dog. This guy would just not let up...he was always on your case wanting to know if you had done this or done that. He was like a dog humping your leg...you just couldn't get him to leave you alone!"


Week 8 Results:

Voted To Fire:
Brock
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETED, 6th employee to finish
Question Response: bullx.gif (871 bytes) INCORRECT - Stanton, Wendell
Opinion Response:
"There's only one way to do this...go over your
bosses head. Every boss has a boss, whether it be the president of the company, the board of directors, whatever. Approach your bosses' boss and let them know about the conspiracy against your manager, being sure to promote what a model employee the manager is, and throw in a few digs at your boss on the way."

Question Response: CORRECT
Opinion Response: "I work in a Human Resources department, so I would simply explain to my supervisor that I am doing some research. I wanted to get some insight into other companies and how they run their interviews to better my skills. I also wanted to see what type of testing they do, possibly so that we could
incorporate those tests into our process to improve our candidate selection. Finally, I was interested in seeing what kind of benefits the companies were offering in order to entice new employees to their company. Unemployment is currently at an all time low, and we are having difficulty enticing appropriate candidates, so I wanted to improve our processes. Of course, I love my job, and would never think of leaving it. I hope you can understand
that I wanted to impress you with all of the knowledge that I have gathered, and actually was planning on approaching you today with some of my preliminary findings."


Week 5 Results:

Voted To Fire:
JessPrincess2000
Task: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) COMPLETED, 9th employee to finish
Question Response: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT - $38.50
Opinion Response: "First I would verify that only one person can
have the time off. Then I would approach my boss with a memo dated three weeks earlier asking for the time off. Finally, I would remind him of the very important reason that I need the time off and explain that there is no possible way that I could take any other week off."


Week 4 Results:

Voted To Fire:
Conan, Leah
Task: COMPLETE - "A Hydraulically powered white-out staple gun"
Question Response: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT  -"LL Cool J"
Opinion Response: "First I would tell him that I love my job and
he has been a great manager. I would tell him that I'm taking 2 weeks of vacation, and to start looking for a replacement for me. I would work until they find a replacement, because 1.) it would probably take awhile before I get the check from the lottery and 2.) I don't have anything better to do. I'll have the rest of my life to spend the 20 mil, I can wait a few weeks before I start!"


Week 3 Results:

Voted To Fire:
Jeff, Lawrence
Task: INCOMPLETE (failed on task), 11th employee to finish
Question Response: bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT - "letter tray"
Opinion Response: "I work in the office of a factory, so the dress
code is pretty lax. I can wear jeans to work. The only restrictions are that we are not allowed to wear tank tops or shorts. However, being female, you can wear a skirt, which is close enough to shorts for me on a hot summer day. Some of the ladies also try to bend the rules by wearing "skorts"---the cross between shorts and a skirt. I've only been here 6 months though, so I just stick to pants or a skirt. I love our dress code!"

Question Response:bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT  "Continental, El Dorado"
Opinion Response:
"Of course, carpooling is the
environment-friendly way to go. I personally don't carpool because I live close enough to work that no one really needs to carpool. One of my co-workers got stuck giving someone else a ride every day and hates it! You can't plan on running any errands after work because you have to drop off your passenger first. (Unless of course, you make them tag along, but do you really want someone else to shop for groceries with you? And what happens if your kid gets sick at school? Then, once again, you have to worry about how your passenger will get home. Or even worse, if they are the ones who are driving, you have to borrow a car, or take a cab, or find
another solution. In any event, it is a major inconvenience to have to cart someone around all the time, or be carted around. My solution: live close enough to work that you can walk!"


Week 1 Results:
Voted To Fire:
Brock, Myles T
Task:
Completed, 10th employee to finish
Question Response:bullseye.gif (879 bytes) CORRECT "3 licks"

Opinion Response: "I personally hate to eat leftovers. My preference is to get the heck out of the office and go spend 5 bucks on a salad at the corner deli. It is more economical to brown bag it, but sometimes you gotta spoil yourself!"

Why Were You Late?: "I'm so sorry I'm late. I was just getting ready to walk out the door when and stopped to pick up Jake (my cat) so I could give him a good-bye pet. All of the sudden, he threw up on my shirt. I knew something had to be wrong, so I took him to the vet. Luckily, he is ok (it seems to be a viral infection, I got some antibiotics for him). I dropped Jake off at home, changed really quickly, then rushed to work. Again, I'm sorry I'm late, but I just had to take care of my baby!"
