Friday 2/13/15 Case Study (50 word min)


Overlooked

Elise has worked in the same position for the past three years.  She is a dedicated worker who is well respected and liked by both management and her coworkers.  On at least three seperate occasions, she has applied for management positions that were ultimately give to staff members with less experience and education.  In the most recent case, the position was filled with an employee they hired from outside the company.  She doesn't know why this is happening.  She thinks this is unfair and has become angry, bitter, and resentful.  She wants to confront management about being overlooked for promotions, but is afraid they will see how bitter she has become.  She is wondering if she should just look for a new job.  What should Elise do?

  1. I think that Elise should maybe have a meeting with her boss or someone because what is happening to her is unfair. I think if she scheduled a meeting her boss would understand because they have to have a good working environment and if an employee is frustrated, they need to figure it out. If her boss does not approve, I would ask about a pay raise. If I can not get a raise or promotion, I would think about working somewhere else then.

  2. I think that Elise should confront management about it. The worse that could happen is they will tell her why she hasn't got it. If they give her god reasons then okay but if they can't give her reasons to why she can't get it then she should start looking for a new job.

  3. I think that you should confront your boss and if that blows up you should consider finding a new job. If they can point out exactly why she has not been getting promotions it would show that they are not over looking her but choosing the best candidate for the position.

  4. I think Elise should talk to management and her boss about what she can do to improve and actually get to that management position she believes she deserves. She should ask for a chance to show her skills in order to get that position.

  5. I think she should confront her boss and if that doesn't work she should just keep doin what she is because she may get it then if she doesn't she should quit.

  6. Elise should always find a fall back job. but it is clear that her situation is hopeless.
    She should quit her job and live the life of a hobo. If she wants to get a raise then she has to earn it. Don't whine to someone higher than her. If you want a raise take it for yourself. Don't let life give you lemons, make life give the lemons back.
