Read the following scenario and give response:

You are asked to work on an extra project at work. Your boss says that the project should take you 20 to 25 hours and that he/she will pay you $25/hour for getting it done over the upcoming three-day weekend. Your boss wants it done as quickly as possible since he needs to revise it before using it in a presentation Tuesday afternoon. You make a promise to hand it in ASAP, Tuesday morning at the latest. Once you start working on it you find a lot of useful content on the Internet and copy it into your project and since you have an event you want to attend Sunday and Monday you finish it early Sunday afternoon. However, you do not send it to your boss until

Monday evening. In your e-mail you explain you worked very hard on it and that it took all weekend, 23 hours.

Points to Consider

You had told your boss weeks ago you had an event over the long weekend. With that in mind did you do anything wrong?

What other things did you do right or wrong? Why do you feel they were right/wrong?

If you think you did something wrong. What should you have done?
