After Class 1/28

Today in class we talked about different jobs. And within those jobs if the person that is performing those jobs knows what he is to do. I think that I am doing that in my job but like every job as you become more experienced there will be more reasonability. I thought it was funny how the two kids were calling on each other I don’t think that they like each other for some reason. I have liked this call because as a business owner I can understand that I need to learn as much as I can from this cass and use it in my life.

Chapter 5

This chapter talks about work force and how we can prepare for the future and change for the technology that will replace jobs.
one of the the things that I liked in the chapter is the fact that technology will take away jobs. the reason that i like this is because it is going to make people want to do something better. not just shovel dirt for a trench. we now have tractors that will dig it faster. Also I am an insurance agent right now and we were paying people to call through the phone book to try and get leads for us. it was very unsuccessful. and now we have the Internet that will give us leads all day long of people that want to get insurance. it is a lot more affective and cheaper for everyone.

Also the chapter talks about hiring and employee to do a job or contracting it out?
It talked about FedEx in the chapter about it contract out the work to deliver the packages. I think that that is an awesome idea. because that person can buy a rout that will always be getting packages and then work it and make a profit just as if he owned his own business. i have a friend that did this for 5 years and then sold it and made money off the company it was a great investment company.

The only thing that i personal don't agree with is that I think if we are going to have contracts to other people and companies I say that it should stay in the us for the most part. because we have a job that needs to be done and if 1 company does the job or another as long as we keep it in America. no outsourcing out side America.

After Class 1/26

Today in class we talked about how we need to not have sexual harassment in the work force. I think that the office clip is a good example of what not to do. Michael Scott is the funniest boss but an HR nightmare.

We also talked about discrimination and I think that after the discussion in class, we need to change the rules. We all know that people are using the system to our benefit if i was black or Asian.

Class was very interesting and i think that i will tell my boss about what we have talked about because we don't have an HR department so in the new HR president ha ha.

chapter 4

This chapter was about jobs and how they have changed. The chapter talked about hoe human resources management can help make jobs better and analyze them to be more effective. The HR department can see the business as the big picture not just that job and what it is doing for the company. In the chapter there are ways that we can check jobs to see how they are doing send out questionnaires or have people interviewed. and after they do these reports that the hr department does they need to hopefully help the company and the employee have a better work place.

I worked at sprint and there my boss worked from home and would call me when she wanted o talk to me. every time that she called I could hear the baby crying in the background or something. but I don't think that she made as much money they if she worked at the office. I think that people that work at home don't work as affective there and that's why people cant work from home.

when you are working at a job and trying to correct a problem some times you can get caught up in the situation and not see the big picture. so...

when you analyse a something you need to have two people help because the view from another angle is always a good indicator of where you are sitting. and if it is just way off.

so a question that I have is is there was a good situation where a mom could work from home and still be productive and be able to communicate well with employees, how can this best be laid out?

reflection jan 21

today in class we talked about our different articles. I liked the different articles that we talked about. There was a big variety and good ideas. then the different was you can discriminate against people was good my group talked about pregnant people in the work force. and how if you are pregnant then that is very good for job security.

EEO Article

i think that it is funny that we always think about girls and guys having specific jobs for specific people. like a CEo is a man and most of the time not a women. a doctor is a man and a nurse is a women. and women are haoir dressors. well i think that we need to get out of this tans for the most part there are still jobs that need to be bone by a women or a man. I'm all for equal rights opportunity for both genders, but sometimes the situation calls for a specific gender. The article mentioned how retail clothing stores probably wouldent fire a man to handle the womens dressing room. but i think that a man would be ok with a women helpin him to the dressing room and then he can ask her for her opioion. I was talking to my wife and she said that when she goes to a bra place to get her cup size checked there is no way that she will let a man check them. and I agree that it would be weird for both people in that situation. so we know that there are jobs that women need to do and aslo for men.

i liked class and thought that what i read was right along with what we talked about. it is good not to discrimant from male to female. with equal rights. i thnk that i will learn a lot in this class and it will be helpfull to explore the different things that we do in al the different parts of class.

ch 2

chapter 2 was a great topic i like how things are changing. and how people treat other people. in the book it talks about the way people are and the difference they have. for instance out sourcing i agree with it for a little bit but also i dont. because if it is late at night and i need some help with my phone im ok at 3 in the morning to not have an american because they are asleep. but in provo and in the middle of the day i want to speek to a good english speaker.
