Week 8 EOC: 9 to 5

Watching Nine to Five for the first time, all I can say is wow, and think if we did that today we would be in so much trouble with the state and more. Throughout the movie, I was able to identify and record a lot of unethical behavior from the men and women in the work field. For instance the first thing when getting hired on is to go through proper training, well in this movie the new comers got little to no training and that’s because of the trainer did not want to train in the first place. “On-job training can be easy. The steps involved in its planning and delivery are not complicated. However, the process does take time, and a commitment of financial resources is required to effectively plan and deliver it.”( Hayes, D. and Ninemeier, J. (2008). Human Resources Management in the Hospitality Industry. Wiley-Page 216) The next thing I noticed was the boss being inapproite with his employees, for instance he would knock something off of the desk and then while the ladies with their low V shirts, the boss can see down the shirt and admire the ladies breast. That therefore is against right’s and rules of the work force which shows that the manager was not fully trained and or is not following his job training rules. “The coaching step includes activities to help ensure that the training will be effective; that is, that performance-based training objectives are attained.”( Hayes, D. and Ninemeier, J. (2008). Human Resources Management in the Hospitality Industry. Wiley-Page 225) Now of course there’s more wrongful things that in the movie like the women totally taking over the office, because the intern can sign the bosses name but there was bribing and the manager not accepting input from his employee’s even if it’s a good idea. Here the manager is not even following his training rules therefore his employers are going to follow his foot steps and disobey the rules as well. “ In practice, however, on-job training is frequently not done well. As suggested by other commonly used names (e.g., tag-along training, shadow training, and buddy system training), some supervisors erroneously believe that trainees can learn simply by watching and helping a more-experienced peer. Unfortunately, this approach ignores all or most of the important planning steps. Trainers who have not learned how to train, who must do so as an add-on to their existing responsibilities, and who have been taught from equally unskilled trainers are not likely to be effective.”( Hayes, D. and Ninemeier, J. (2008). Human Resources Management in the Hospitality Industry. Wiley-Page 215)
