Problem Solving
Read each of the following scenarios. Identify the problem, determine your possible solutions to the problem, examine your resources, and assess your solutions to come up with the best possible answer. Post your answers in one posting in the Discussion Board.
Problem 1
You have been experiencing terrible, painful headaches. You have gone to the doctor, and he has scheduled some tests to diagnose the origin or the pain. You have a job and three children to take care of, and you shouldn't miss any more time from work. What should you do?
Problem 2
Your rent will go up $75 per month, and you cannot afford it.
Problem 3
A co-worker makes a mistake adding up a customer's bill, and it costs your company $150. The co-worker asks you to lie for him if the boss asks you who made the mistake.
Problem 4
You've been not only working fulltime for three months at night but also going to school fulltime during the day. It has not been easy to get all your schoolwork done, but so far, you've managed. Now it is your company's peak work period. Your boss has told you that because of the work overload, he needs you to work two days (about 16 more hours) each week until the company gets caught up on its orders. You really don't want to leave your job, but you also want to stay in school. What can you do?
