Question

Glen is the managing director of a property management firm. He is considering two of his best employees, Jeremy and Samara, for a promotion. Samara is 28 years old and has displayed consistent performance throughout the term of her employment. She is married and has a young son. Jeremy is also 28 years old and is a dedicated employee. He is unmarried and supports his ailing mother. Glen decides to promote Jeremy even though Samara is a better employee. Which of the following is most likely the reason for Glen's decision?
A) Glen believes that Samara will prioritize her family over her career.
B) Glen believes that Jeremy chooses tasks that give him a greater sense of accomplishment.
C) Glen believes that Samara is not interested in learning new things.
D) Glen believes that Jeremy wants more control over his work schedule.

Answer 1

Answer:

Letter a is correct. Glen believes that Samara will prioritize her family over her career.

Explanation:

In this matter, the two employees, Samara and Jeremy are equal ages and are equal effective employees. But Samara has a small son, and Jeremy takes care of his sick mother. So manager Glen looking at both examples decided to promote Jeremy believing that sometime in the future Samara could prioritize family over career, which is an uncertain factor, as most women who are mothers now work in the labor market. work consistently and effectively. It was an unfair promotion in my opinion, what Glen could have done was to test the skills and competencies of the two employees in another way to decide who deserved the promotion.
