If you were in this situation at work what would you do? In the middle of working on a budget report for your boss, a co-worker sits down next to your desk and starts telling you about his past weekend. He is giving you every detail from the time he woke up on Saturday morning to the time he walked into work on Monday. Your boss if expecting the budget report within the hour, what do you do? I would say I'm sorry but I have lots of work to do can we talk about it over lunch? As you are working at your desk, you hear two of your co-workers gossiping. The topic is YOU. The new
person was hired two days ago and you, being a team player, asked him/her to join you for lunch. Your coworkers saw you and have started gossiping about the friendly lunch you and the new co-worker had together. What do you do in this situation? I would say please don't say that about me, we just had lunch together, and I don't appreciate it. Your coworker, Billy, is always complaining about the amount of work he has to do. His moral is bringing the entire department down. How can you encourage Billy to be more positive about his work? I would say Billy I have lots of work to do also, lets get through this together and go ahead and get it done. Dominique is a close friend of yours, as well as a coworker. She has recently started dating someone new and is frequently coming into work late and leaving early. Naturally, her work is starting to get behind. As a friend, you have helped her with a couple of deadlines, but it is becoming a routine. How can you resolve this ongoing situation with your friend, Dominique? I would say Dominique I'm not going to be able to do your work anymore I have my own to do and it is putting me behind. You love to work as a team! Your department consists of five coworkers including yourself and has always
worked well together. When the boss compliments the team for a job well done, Dillon is always the first to take credit for the work. You, as well as the other members of the team are getting frustrated. How can you resolve this problem and still be able to work together as a team? I would tell him that the rest of the team would like to get credit also since we all did it together.

He is giving you every detail from the time he woke up on Saturday morning to the time he walked into work on Monday. Your boss if expecting the budget report within the hour, what do you do?

The new person was hired two days ago and you, being a team player, asked him/her to join you for lunch. Your coworkers saw you and have started gossiping about the friendly lunch you and the new co-worker had together. What do you do in this situation? I would turn around and tell them I do not appreciate them talking about me and the lunch was just to be friendly. Your coworker, Billy, is always complaining about the amount of work he has to do. His moral is bringing the entire department down. How can you encourage Billy to be more positive about his work? Tell him that if he simply does the task it will be over. Dominique is a close friend of yours, as well as a coworker. She has recently started dating someone new
and is frequently coming into work late and leaving early. Naturally, her work is starting to get behind. As a friend, you have helped her with a couple of deadlines, but it is becoming a routine.

The Surprisingly Family-F riendly Game
Murderer
Sheriff
• The Murderer kills people by winking at them when in eye contact.
• When the Sheriff is winked at by the Murderer, he 'kills' the Murderer
• The Murderer's role is to kill all of the Citizens without being killed by the Sheriff. • If the Murderer finds out who the Sheriff is, it would be smart for them to actively avoid winking at them.
• Their role is to find out who the Murderer is, and then attempt to get winked at. • They are not allowed to communicate any person's role.
• Not allowed to communicate any person's role.
Citizens
Rules
• The citizen is like a poker chip. They do nothing except are used as "winning tokens".
• No players can keep their eyes closed during the game.
• If you are winked at by the Murderer, you are 'dead' and must sit/lay down. • You are not allowed to tell anyone (verbally or non-verbally) who it is.
• No communicating who you think is the Murderer, Sheriff, or a Citizen. (Verbally or non verbally) • No moving around. • No asking another person's role. • NO WINKING UNLESS YOU ARE THE MURDERER! • If you are caught cheating, you have to act like a chicken for the rest of the game,

All the food that you're eating for free is taking money out of my pocket. Please stop eating the food if you haven't paid for it. You can buy the food on break or after work because you shouldn't be eating during your shift anyways. Lets all resolve this issue and have a great day at work.

Annah Lokey <15229@cookhornets.org > Lori Carter <Icarter@cook.k12.ga.us > 10/20/2015 8:59 AM Employees clocking out
Wendy's employees,
I have recently noticed that when most of you take a break you do not clock out therefore you are getting paid to take a break. This is not okay because this business is losing money. Therefore, everyone needs to start clocking out when they take a break or they will be given a warning and they next punishment will be more severe.
