Liecom Company
was having a tough time finding skilled workers. For
months they searched for a graphic designer and then
they discovered Mary. Mary recently finished her
degree graduating at the top of her class. She was
conscientious, hard working and looked forward to
starting at Liecom. Mary received several offers from
other companies, but she liked what the recruiter
told her about Liecom. The recruiter promised her a
signing bonus, rapid acceleration, a team work
environment and great opportunities for personal and
professional development. However, after two weeks on
the job her opinion changed. On several occasions she
was left back to answer the phones while the rest of
the department went out to lunch together. One
morning, Barry, her supervisor, chewed her out in
front of her co-workers. A few days later she was
turned down for a training course because she was a
,,new employee.” Mary, once bright and motivated now
had taken on a different attitude. At the end of the
month Mary turned in her resignation telling Barry
she had gotten another job offer at higher pay
somewhere else.
