Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Ask for the proper training before using, if manager persists contact a union representative (if it is unionized)

Answer 2

Answer:

Lesli should ask her boss for training.

Explanation:

This is a very complicated situation but can happen a lot of times. First of all, when a new employee starts his or her duties in a new organization it is the responsibility of the company to train him or her. However, when there are management changes, new managers can arrive at an area in which they don't know if everyone can perform the different tasks assigned to that area. In those cases, managers are assuming and is a very bad inference because instead of assuming we have to know. To be certain we have all the control we can have. So in his case, she should be honest and tell him she doesn't' know how to do it and request him training. In the worst-case scenario, he says that the job should be done for someone else while she is trained.
