Bagel Hockey Case Analysis The bagel hockey case outlined a scenario that combined a cohesive group of young adults, too much free time, and too little management. The cafeteria manager, Mrs. Larby, made an unannounced weekend visit to the cafeteria and found her employees violating one of the business rules of no horseplay. When she walked in on a busy cafeteria, only a couple of employees were functioning in their roles while the rest were playing floor hockey with brooms and stale bagels in…
One major hindrance to living an awesome life is stress. Stress, also described as anxiety and pressure, prevents people from living the best life possible. Unfortunately, stress not only affects the individual, but everyone around them. Often, stress clutters our state of mind so that we approach even the simplest tasks with panic. There comes a point where the mind goes into overdrive trying to prioritize, and exists in a state of disorder. We identified a clear need to eliminate stress on…
The new systems that were to be used by MSCC should have had input from all managers and when there was no help from the primary member Lassiter should have gone to higher management and explained the situation and what assistance he was receiving. Individuals took out their personal issues with the company instead of doing their job so they decided not to help or provide little assistance to get the system up and running. Based on the reading, talking and interacting with another member of the…
Nothing Stranger The week before anything had happened; it was just a normal day in Chicago. The weather was perfect, birds were singing, everyone was alive and well. A group of kids went to one of their friends houses on that Saturday to hangout and catch up on the new hit show that everyone at school has been talking about, Stranger Things. Michelle, Maple, Vince, and Joey all headed to Joey’s house to enjoy the day binge watching some Netflix. They enjoyed all eight episodes of the first…
My main focus for this week was to follow-up on projects that I was previously assigned and to update the management team on my progress. I was able to follow-up with all of the remaining sites as far as their stand still with the I-9 project. While taking on this project I have noticed that a lot of sites face the same issue, which is inconsistencies within their documentation/data. This is strange due to the fact that audits have taken place. This goes to show that there is room for error even…
needs to improve the schedule and the cafeteria because it is not flexible on weekend, has same food route, and have time issues. First, the weekends are not flexible on food when there are a very few options to choose. For example, Perry is open on Saturday, and there are only two main courses to enjoy. If people could not find anything, they might go off-campus, or they find any place on campus that is open. It is the same…

When I get home I hang my car keys up on the little hook by the door, grab my laptop and a case of beer and stretch out on the couch. Finally, the weekend! Two whole days of not having to deal with those annoying, never-ending phone calls at work. Already I'm feeling better. I don't do cable, got everything I need online. It's a stereo system, theater, TV and social networking site all in one. I check out the new movies on Putlocker, finish off my first beer. Nothing looks appealing to me. Sucks…
a cold Friday night, the temperature was below freezing. I was working at McDonald’s, it was the only job I had been able to keep in the last couple of years. I was always recognized from the managers for being so friendly and kind to everyone including my co-workers, except on this specific night. I had been having mood swings all day and was not feeling good at all. I clocked in and got to work, for tonight's shift I was working in the drive-thru. Working drive-thru on Friday night was always…
