Question

Tom is responsible for giving a bonus to factory workers that have perfect attendance during the month. One worker missed one day due to a death in the family. The worker starts crying in Tom’s office and tells Tom that she needs the bonus desperately since she is behind on her rent. The rules are clear and the bonus is for a perfect attendance period no if, buts, or maybes. However, Tom does have the authority to make exceptions to the rule. What should Tom do?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since she was out for a death in the family, then begins crying in his office over her rent, it seems that maybe she is taking advantage of him, so no, Tom should not give her a bonus.

Explanation:

If the rent thing were to have something to do with the death in the family, like the person who died was helping her pay and no longer can, then I think Tom should make an exception.

Hope this helps! Have a great day! God Bless.
