1. Jessie and Ashton had offered Sandra more money to stay in her current role with the company. What problems could have occurred if Sandra had accepted their offer?
If Sandra had accepted Jessie's and Ashton's, it would have led to a few company problems. Firstly, increasing Sandra's hourly rate would motivate other employees to demand an increase as well. Jessie and Ashton would be in a precarious position because if they increased the pay of one employee and failed to increase wages for others, it would seem unfair.

3. If a second location opens, how should new sales clerks be trained? Explain why this is the preferred method.
The best way to train new employees for a new shop with the same positions, products, and services as the existing one is to put them under existing employees' wings. After orientation, new employees should be placed under existing employees to observe and learn what happens on the job (Kathy Ma, Mayfield, & Mayfield, 2018). Before deployment, the new employees should shadow the existing employees in their respective positions. This method is because existing employees have adequate knowledge of the company's working and would help pass that knowledge to newcomers. Also, they know areas of challenge and can equip new employees with problem-solving skills. Some company operations are tailor suited for that organization; hence opening a similar shop would require the procedures and operations ...
