Chapter Three-Situation Management You have just read your chapter on the manager as a person. Read the situation below and respond to how and why you would react to the following situation. Use chapter material in your response. This is a hypothetical situation but it requires your attention. Please be descriptive in your responses. Barb Jones has been rumored to be sleeping with the Department Manager of Finance-Ted Wills. Barb is married and has three children, Ted, William, and Susie. Ted is not married but has been divorced once before. Barb is the administrative assistant for Sam Waterston, the president of the company. Barbs husband is named Marty. Last week, Barb and Ted had an argument in the cafeteria where Barb called Ted an illegitimate and Ted grabbed Barb by the arm. Barb left work that day crying. Performance in the finance department is down and the workers there are attributing this to the relationship between Barb and Ted. No evidence supports this however. Nancy from shipping has told you that Barb and Ted may get married and Barb is pregnant with his child. How will you as a manager/person approach this situation and not violate individual/employment rights of your subordinates?
