Problem Statement
Since Saunders had been one of the most responsible and overworking employees of the
organization, he had become a favorite of Mat Platt hired as a production line supervisor. He
worked hard and Platt was stuck in a situation where he was forced to take some action against
Saunders because this was the situation where people like Smith could not tolerate Saunders
because they feared that he would reduce the number of employees and create extra work
pressure on every operator. Platt was under such a dilemma that he did not want to lose a worker
like Saunders and also so did not want to initiate detrimental consequences since the group of
Smith had told Platt that they would file a grievance against Platt and Saunders. There were
rising complaints against Saunders because Saunders intruded on the colleagues without their
consent. Platt was on the condition of finding a solution to deal with the complaints because
Saunders’ work ethics were likely to cause increased cutbacks. There were also criticism on the
favoring of Platt on Saunders and union grievance was to be taken place if no actions were taken.
In short, Platt has to make some decisions which would benefit each person, enhance the moral
of the workers and knowledge of when they should ask for help.
Recommendations
It can be recommended that flat should have a conversation with his favorite Saunders.
He should begin the conversation by complementing his work ethics and whatever he has done
for the company. He should then explain to him that he is liable to attend the meetings arranged
by unions because he could be missing little important information and also should take breaks
(Al-Rousan & Al-Kenani, 2018). He should then tell Saunders about other employees and how
he can leave impact on their mindsets. He should also get together with some other supervisors
in order to discuss who should be staying in the company and who should be laid off. When
there is a situation where Saunders can do the job of two people then there is no requirement of
having extra workers. The company profits can increase through cutting the workers. Platt
