OK, I did it, but it's by no means "fair" but I guess that's actually what they are looking for, right?

 

[Dark_Poet]

Problem #1:

Candidates:

Paul - Married with 3 children
35,000 His significant other can help there family out financially

Byron - Single with 3 children
45,000 because without a significant other, it would hit them financially the most

Raj - Married without children
20,000 Like the other married couple. One could pick up the extra slack

Zane - Single without children - Supervisor (He would likely have more time)
25,000 Given a little more than the couple because he has to afford everything himself, versus having a significant other to help him out

The survey does not take into account work ethic, peoples health, or lots of reasons to take into account and make this something one could do much more honestly

Second Problem:

Ellie - Married with 3 children
35,000 Her significant other can help there family out financially

Mona - Single with 3 children
45,000 because without a significant other, it would hit them financially the most

Sunetha - married without children
20,000 Like the other married couple. One could pick up the extra slack

Ebony - Single without children - Supervisor (She would likely have more time)
25,000 Given a little more than the couple because she has to afford everything herself, versus having a significant other to help her out


Third problem:

Candidates:

Paul- married with 3 children
35,000 His significant other can help there family out financially

Mona- Single with 3 children
45,000 because without a significant other, it would hit them financially the most

Ebony - Single without children - supervisor (because they would have the most time)
45,000 because without a significant other, it would hit them financially the most

Sunetha - married without children
20,000 Like the other married couple. One could pick up the extra slack

(wink) Fixed!

 

[SophiaGrace]

Dark poet could you please redo the 3rd problem? I'm not sure you read the directions correctly because you listed amounts for the women but then went on to list 2 (when I needed 4) to fill job slots.

 

[Dark_Poet]

I thought the lines at the bottom were for you to list all supervisors... I kinda confused myself by it. I was thinking? There are 4 lines but only 3 supervisors? Did I do something wrong? lol. I'm sorry for the confusion

Unless I'm still confused (wary)

you're still confused.

Okay, the last problem, you select 4 out of the 8 candidates i listed, then out of the 4 you list, you tell me which is supervisor and then tell me why they are supervisor. Then, tell me how much the 4 employees (including the supervisor) you decided to hire, make and why you decided they make that much.

Is that clearer? :/

 

[kamya]

Problem 1: (this is just going off of the very limited info we have)

Supervisor: Byron 40k
Employees: Paul 35k, Raj 30k, Zane 20k

Byron as supervisor because he's probably paying alimony + child support so he needs the money. Plus I can push him farther than the others because he cant afford to leave. Also he is single so he most likely won't have much of a support network and the job will play a more important role in his life.

Paul needs money too and is more likely to ask for raises. He will be harder to keep if his wife also works. Start him off at lower wages and use promises of raises and bonuses as a reward for high performance.

Raj could be having kids in the future so I would also start him off at lower wages and use raises and bonuses to motivate him to perform better.

Zane I will pay just enough to keep him happy. He won't have many reasons to ask for raises or bonuses. This position will be the one that needs to be easily replaceable as there is no kids of wife tying him down to one job, or location. He will be harder to control.

This leaves 22k left over. This money will be used over time to give Paul and Raj raises and bonuses to keep them happy and motivated.

That's all for now. Maybe I'll do 2 and 3 in the morning.


Problem 2:

Supervisor: Ellie 40k
Employees: Mona 35k, Ebony 30k, Sunetha 20k

Ellie: She has her spouse to help out with problems at home so she will be able o focus more on the job. Also with 3 kids I feel she can handle the responsibility and pressure.

Mona: She's single and hopefully wont be having more kids. Single mom will hopefully work harder. Also use raises as motivation like before.

Ebony: She's single and no kids. Not much holding her to the job but she has the benefit that she probably wont be getting pregnant on the company dollar.

Sunetha: She has a higher possibility of having kids in the future and going on maternity leave. Since there's a chance that she won't work as much as the others I will pay her the lowest amount.

Problem 3:

Supervisor: Byron 40k

Employees: Paul 35k, Raj 30k, Mona 20k

Byron, Paul, Raj, same reasons as before. Mona because she's single, needs to support 3 kids, probably won't be getting pregnant. I don't mind if she takes days off for emergencies or to take care of her kids because she's only getting paid 20k.

 

[SophiaGrace]

Problem 1: (this is just going off of the very limited info we have)

Supervisor: Byron 40k
Employees: Paul 25k, Raj 20k, Zane 18k
Leftover salary: 22k

Byron as supervisor because he's probably paying alimony + child support so he needs the money. Plus I can push him farther than the others because he cant afford to leave. Also he is single so he most likely won't have much of a support network and the job will play a more important role in his life.

Paul needs money too and is more likely to ask for raises. He will be harder to keep if his wife also works. Start him off at lower wages and use promises of raises and bonuses as a reward for high performance.

Ack, i actually just need number 3 apparently.

I read the instructions wrong.

Instructions:

lease use the option at the bottom of the page that has 8 applicants (4 male and 4 female). Ask 9 of your friends three questions:
1. Which four candidates will you hire?
2. Who will get paid what? (Remember that no one can make the same salary as any one else. And all salaries must add up to EXACTLY $125,000.)
3. Who do you pick to be the supervisor.

 

[kamya]

EXACTLY? sad kamya. OK I finished the 3 problems. I didn't want to edit problem 1 though =P.

 

[frey12]

Problem #1:

You are hiring four people for your department. You only have 125,000 to spend on wages for all four people. Your company has a policy that no one person can make the same amount of money as anyone else. You decide who get paid what. One person must supervise the others. State who gets hired as the supervisor and what salary each person makes. Explain your rational.

Candidates:

Drone = 26k = Paul - Married with 3 children

Has a partner and is a liability due to the children. They may need to take time off work.

Supervisor = 35k = Byron - Single with 3 children

Single parent so needs the extra money. Will be controlling and supervising the others. This gives him the time flexibility that is necessary for extra children. Children means management experience.

Drone = 24k = Raj - Married without children

Raj is married may start a family. Does not have the highest potential in this area.

Drone = 25k = Zane - Single without children

Highest potential for promotion. Zane can be used for management if he shows the ambition.

15k left over. I under paid staff giving myself a small cut and making myself look better to my bosses.

Tell me how much of the 125 thousand each of these candidates would make, and then tell me who is supervisor and then tell me why you made this particular person supervisor and tell me why you paid the people what you did.

Second Problem:

You are hiring four people for your department. You only have 125,000 to spend on wages for all four people. Your company has a policy that no one person can make the same amount of money as anyone else. You decide who gets paid what. One person must supervise the others. State who gets hired as the supervisor and what salary each person makes. Explain your rationale.

Drone = 20k = Ellie - Married with 3 children

Fair pay. Chance of taking off work due to children. Liability but hopefully a decent worker.

Drone = 19k = Mona - Single with 3 children

Needs the money the most. As such will torture themselves to work. Thus best one to exploit for labor.

Drone = 21k = Sunetha - married without children

Going to start a family soon. no potential for advancement.

Supervisor = 30k = Ebony - Single without children

She is single thus the more interaction I have with her the better. Giving her the position already puts me in a good position with her. Highest potential for promotion due to having no family can devote most time to working.

35k left over for the company. I take 5k for myself to increase my pay. I look great to higher ups and get myself a nice cut of the pay.

Tell me how much of the 125 thousand each of these candidates would make, and then tell me who is supervisor and then tell me why you made this particular person supervisor and tell me why you paid the people what you did.

Third problem:

You are hiring four people for your department. You only have 125,000 to spend on wages for all four people. Your company has a policy that no one person can make the same amount of money as anyone else. you decide who gets paid what. One person must supervise the others. state who gets hired as the supervisor and what salary each person makes.Explain your rationale.

Candidates:

Ellie- married with 3 children

Mona- Single with 3 children

Ebony - Single without children

Sunetha - married without children

Paul - married with 3 children

Byron - Single with 3 children

Raj- Married without children

Zane - Single without children

#1_30k=Ebony__ Supervisor
Single, able to work the most. Female possible romance. Able to pay less.

#2 25k = Zane

Has no children so pay the most to keep him working. But will be reliable to not having children as an excuse.

#3 20k = Byron

Desperate for money due to all the children of being a single parent.Pay slightly less because he is male.

#4 19k = Mona

Desperate for money due to all the children of being a single parent. Pay slightly less because she is female.

 

[TropicalStarfish]

Paul - Married with 3 children -$30,750

Byron - Single with 3 children -$33,000 *Supervisor*

Raj - Married without children -$31,000

Zane - Single without children -$30,250

Pay skews are based on immediate out of work needs, while trying to keep things as equal as possible. Byron would make the best supervisor. Being single and handling three kids speaks to an excellence in authority and group coordination. His time management is sharp and always being tested. Being that he is single with three children his higher pay is also justified by his position at work, rather than his disposition outside of work.
-----------------------------
Ellie - Married with 3 children -$30,450

Mona - Single with 3 children -$34,900 *Supervisor*

Sunetha - married without children -$29,700

Ebony - Single without children -$29,950

Pay skews are based on immediate out of work needs, while trying to keep things as equal as possible. Mona, would make the best supervisor. Being single and handling three kids speaks volumes to what Mona could achieve. Being in a supervisory roll will either be something she can excel at or just not be able to handle. If upon taking the position she fails to live up to the standards required to perform her duties, she stands to suffer the least from gossip and privately shared opinions. The person who stands to take her place could be afforded a slight pay increase from a small deduction in Mona's pay. In such a case no matter who is afforded a slight pay increase to fill the position, Mona still won't be sour being that she still makes the most and whoever takes her place will feel the pay increase is justified by the new work load.
--------------------------------
Byron - Single with 3 children -$33,000 *Supervisor*

Ebony - Single without children - $31,000

Zane - Single without children - $31,000

Sunetha - married without children -$30,000

Pay skews are based on immediate out of work needs, while trying to keep things as equal as possible.

Byron for supervisor for the same reason as in scenario number 1. 2 to 2 male to female ratio will either balance things out or lead to sexual transgressions and chaos. If chaos ensues, fire who needs to be fired and bring on some one new for less pay. However, 3 single people and 1 married person leaves a lot less to chaos. There is little room for personal life to get in the way of work and sexual transgressions would be a lot less likely to impede work performance.

 

[SophiaGrace]

I would really really appreciate it if D.P. would redo the last question. I want to use his work in my homework. =\

 

[blackdot]

ok, this survey makes no sense. You are going to hire people based on their relationship status and how many kids they have?
Now that's one company that will be going bankrupt really fast.

It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not. It's what I was assigned, so I have to have people do this survey so I can write a paper on it that's due wednesday.

I might be able to write about the discriminatory factor in my paper but i'm mainly going to be focusing on my results. So, if you want to do the survey and help me, that'd be great.

If you have any questions on how to actually do the survey, please don't hesitate to ask.

So far, i'm including Eve's response, Kamya's and T.P.'s

I'd really like D.P.'s since he put so much work into it but only fudged the last question.

Frey just didn't do the assignment like my teacher wanted so I can't use his response. I have to tabulate the whole thing into a graph and then add and divide totals so everything must add up to 125,000 and there is no category for bosses that withold a cut of the pay. =\

 

[blackdot]

What class are you having to do this survey for?

 

[SophiaGrace]

What class are you having to do this survey for?

What do we know about Sex and Gender. Scientific and quantitative reasoning. Genera studies requirement.

 

[Poguesy]

Sack the lot of 'em

 

[SophiaGrace]

Sack the lot of 'em

I saw your response and I was like "naaaahh porguesy didn't do the survey. no way!"

I was right.

---

I think i will be okay. I think i have enough responses for this homework assignment. I'm on my 9th one that I need.

 

[Poguesy]

Sack the lot of 'em

I saw your response and I was like "naaaahh porguesy didn't do the survey. no way!"

I was right.

Problem 1:

Zane would be appointed supervisor as he has no immediate family and probably doesn't have a life, therefore would be easy to manipulate and make him the work all the hours God sends. I would give him 20,000 per year to make him want to work for more and promotion, thus creating a potential workplace slave.

Raj gets 40,000 per year 'cause there is no doubt in my mind that this wife of his probably sits at home all day and bleeds him dry.

Paul is a fool for getting trapped with a nagging woman and three kids so gets 25,00 per year.

Byron would get the remaining money 'cause his bitch of a wife ran off with her lover and left him with three brats and a pile of debts.

Problem 2:

The same principles apply for problem one.

Problem 3:

At this point I am getting tired of hiring people so I decided to steal the 125,000 and blow the lot on booze and gambling.

There ya go
