DISCUSSION OF CHAPTER 7 INCIDENTS   HRM Incident 1: These Things Are a Pain   “There, at last it’s finished,” thought Rajiv Chaudhry, as he laid aside the last of 12 performance appraisal forms. It had been a busy week for Rajiv, who supervises a road maintenance crew for the Georgia Department of Highways.   In passing through Rajiv’s district a few days earlier, the governor had complained to the area superintendent that repairs were needed on several of the highways.

In addition, Rajiv received a call from the human resource office that week telling him that the performance appraisals were late. Rajiv explained his predicament, but the HR specialist insisted that the forms be completed right away.   Looking over the appraisals again, Rajiv thought about several of the workers. The performance appraisal form had places for marking quantity of work, quality of work, and cooperativeness. For each…

Lake Charles, known for its large and beautiful oak and pine trees, now had the job of removing those downed trees from homes, businesses, and lots. You could see for miles through what used to be thick forests. Huge trucks designed for removing massive tree trunks were everywhere. While driving down a street, downed trees could be seen stacked two stories high, waiting to be picked up. The town grew rapidly in size because of the increased number of repair crews working on recovery operations. The noise created by their chain saws could be heard from daylight until dark. The sounds of hammers were everywhere as homeowners scrambled to get their roofs repaired. Often repair crews would just find an empty lot and set up tents for the night because all motels were full. Traffic was unbelievably slow, and it…

HRM Incident 2: Good Job!    Chandra LaMar just celebrated her 20-year anniversary at Westfield Farm Implement Company, a large retailer of farm equipment ranging from small riding lawn mowers to gigantic combines. She started her career as an office clerk and received excellent performance reviews, which led to many promotions through the years.

Orrville is a quiet, tidy town 50 miles south of Cleveland. Employees don't get any razzle-dazzle perk such as pet insurance. The J.M. Smucker Co. is a 107-year-old, family- controlled business that is run by two brothers who tend to quote the New Testament and Ben Franklin. It's a throwback to a simpler time.
