Pam and Julie — A Case Study

Work Ethics | Attendance

Pam and Julie worked at J & J's Supermarket. Pam has worked there since 1995. Julie has worked there since 1998. Randy, their manager, has a position open for head cashier making two dollars more an hour. He knows he is expected to give the job to Pam, who has been working there for more years and is seldom late, even though she is out “sick” frequently. However, Julie—who has fewer years' experience—is always on time and is almost never absent.
