    Deborah has taken steps to improve her accuracy in her daily entry. She takes any mistake personally and strives to complete her tasks error free. Even though the results were higher than the goal, the results were influenced by a change in our processing of freight which caused these records to be created in Image Now much earlier than before even though no invoice was available for processing.

    There are ways of handling this case differently from employer and employee. Let's start with the hiring phase: 1. The employer did not ask the candidate any questions about his ability to perform the job (asking questions can help you decide if the candidate is fit for the job). 2. The employer failed to ask if there are any issues with the availability to attend these days/hours and mandatory meetings (Addressing the issues of hours and days during interviews will cause fewer problems during their time at the company).…

    Dawn was very happy with her mid-semester evaluation. She didn’t expect her supervisor at Day One to give her such high regard in all areas of the evaluation, such as a five, meaning, “greatly exceeds the standards”. However, there was one area of the evaluation that she only scored a four, meaning, “exceeds standards”. It was in regards to punctuality. This particular area was “arrives on time; gives ample notice if unable to attend”.…

    According to the NASW, “Social workers treat each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethnic diversity. Social workers promote client’s self-determination” (2008). The social worker/psychiatrist in the reading may not have agreed with each and every decision that Paula was making but stated, “We just needed to meet her where she was and move on” (Plummer, et al., 2014a). Once this realization occurred, the social worker was able to focus on Paula’s strengths. As a social worker we cannot place our own bias or beliefs on our client.…

    Kelly reaffirmed her beliefs of the events, siding with Anita Hill and the director of Anita. She believed, and continues to believe that Hill was sexually harassed, and the continuation of Thomas’ confirmation was the result of a systematic bias in the workplace. Professor Kelly’s beliefs of the events mostly align Rebecca Walker and her Third Wave of feminism. Similar to how Walker challenged sexism on the train, Kelly has called out male colleagues for their statements in the workplace. Just as Walker was met with responses that downplayed their comments; Kelly has most often encountered the “It’s just a joke” excuse.…

    On Wednesday the 11th I was nervous about beginning my first day of field with my new field placement. This is that DSS is a place I am considering for employment as my first job after graduating with my BSW; therefore, I want to make a good impression while I am interning for the semester. When I walked in the door I met my new field supervisor, Vanessa Davis, as she explained who she was and her position within the agency. I was shocked when I walked through the door as Vanessa explained that we would be going out into the field in order to transport a client to the South Carolina Youth Advocate Program (SCAP) in order for them to complete a diagnosis of her circumstances. While on the way, Vanessa explained this was a program that partners with DSS in order to help teens learn independent living skills.…
