Week 11 Results:
Voted To Fire: John
Task: COMPLETED, 4th to finish
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."
Week 10 Results:
Voted To Fire: Flash
Task: COMPLETED, 4th to finish
Question Response: 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! "
Week 9 Results:
Voted To Fire: Jason
Task: INCOMPLETE
Question Response: CORRECT
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: COMPLETED, 6th employee to finish
Question Response: 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: COMPLETED, 9th employee to finish
Question Response: 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: 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: 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!"
Week 2 Results:
Voted To Fire: Jeff, Kim
Task: Completed, 7th employee to finish

Question Response: 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: 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!"Click here to vote |
