Phone Conversation Week 3

For the week 3 phone assignment I partnered up with Teresa. We called each other Wednesday evening to go over the assignment. For our scenario we had Teresa act as the employee and I was her boss. The situation we used related directly to a situation that Teresa had dealt with at her work not to long ago. She had been hired on as a consultant for a school district and worked as a consultant for a while before deciding she wanted to go to her boss about being hired on as an employee. Being promoted from a consultant to an employee of the school district meant she would be contracted in the union, receive benefits, security of the union, and a pay raise. Teresa knew that she needed to be hired on because she was performing the same tasks and duties as other people in the union and she deserved the great benefits that the union would offer her. Because of her ambitious and outgoing demeanor, not to mention all her hard work, her boss at the school district and I (being her boss for the assignment) decided that hiring her on to the school district was the right decision.
Teresa and I had a great conversation and we were able to discuss all different situations possible. Thanks Teresa for being a great partner!

Carrie, I had a great conversation as well. I think we were able to add a different twist to this assignment! Thanks!

That is exactly what I thought too! We had never experienced that type of raise or contract, and I think the ideas we came up with really worked. Thanks!
