Phone Assignment #3

Today I did my phone assignment with Araceli and we decided that I would be the boss and she would be the employee who wanted to get a raise. We discussed the reason why she felt she was entitled to raise. We also came up with a mutual agreement that she deserved a raise because she is the only bilingual person that works for our company and she has been there over 3 years. She felt that she has been a great asset to our company and that it was time she got compensated for her hard work. We also talked about how much her raise would be and we agreed on the amount. I felt that since she had been there for such a long time that it was in by best interest to give her a raise. She made numerous points to why she thought that she deserved a pay raise and I agreed with her.

I enjoyed our assignment and thought that Araceli was a very intelligent woman.

Group presentation

I can honestly say that I enjoy the group I am in. Everyone seems to be very intelligent and on the same page. we were having minor problems in the beginning because we did not know how we were going to present our case. Now that we have figured that out, everything seems to be going smoothly. We have had 2 phone conferences where we have discussed cases and who is going to play the role of who. I was a little nervous at first because I was not for sure who my group members were , but now that i have been able to talk to everyone and see that they are very committed to getting the presentation done, it takes a lot off my shoulders.
