God bless you, Karen. I really enjoyed reading your post. It is so relevant to the core of organizational behavior. Job dissatisfaction is one of the largest obstacles in the the work force today. When one is dissatisfied with their job it is difficult to obtain and achieve the desired growth, productivity, and sound values that comes along with having satisfied employees. One of the most egregious explanations of job dissatisfaction came from Robbins and Judge (2009, p.3), where they described a company Alarm One utilizing some inhumane practices to promote team building. I was not aware that such things still happened in the work place. That incident of spanking elderly people, and belittling them made me feel very uncomfortable.

The subject of narcissism is one that many people do not particularly like to address; however, it is one that could make or break the practices of organizational behaviors. I find it interesting that narcissism is covered under Personality and Values according to (Robbins & Judge 2002). I also find it extremely valuable that the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) comes in handy when making some assessments.

I pointed this out to her and she totally agreed. What I found to be interesting is that she comprised a high sense of narcissism. I thought what if she had been Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving how much differently that would have been.

Our overtime desired list is implemented and coordinated between utilizing the Employee Labor Manual and the National Mail Handlers Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The overtime desired list is a procedure put into place to afford employees the opportunity to make additional money outside of their regularly scheduled paychecks at 1 ½ times the regular pay. The way this process works is that the list is generated based on seniority. At the beginning of each new quarter a blank list is published on the board seeking volunteers for overtime under varying circumstances to accommodate the organizational mission.
The policy is that the most senior person is first asked to work overtime. If that person is not able to do so, then, management moves down to the next person on the list until the entire list has been exhausted. Upon exhaustion of that list, then, the entire process is started all over again with the senior person on the
