Question

Two Acme Global workers got into an argument about whose turn it was to clean up the work station. The argument escalated into a fight that damaged the work station and injured both workers. The manager disciplined both workers, giving one a 2-day suspension and the other a 4-day suspension. The manager’s actions violated the:_______.

Answer 1

Answer:

Uniform in Application part of the OUCH test

Explanation:

The OUCH test is a rule of thumb used when contemplating actions to be taken in a workplace. Each letter words stands for

O = objective

U = uniform in application

C = consistent in effect

H = has job relatedness.

It is used very often in employment. In this case, the manager deciding to punish one for more days (4 days suspension) than the other (2 days suspension) indicates that the manager violated the Uniform in application part of the OUCH test. If the manager had suspended them for the same number of days, he wouldn't have violated that.
