Decision Point: The Relationship

You express your concern for Alexei's girlfriend and her family without asking personal questions. When Alexei seems surprised that you didn't know about the situation, you are confused. "Don't you know?" he asks. "Olga is my girlfriend from Russia. Madeleine is her American cousin. Sorry, we didn't want you to know, but I guess it doesn't matter."

Fire them all. You don't think family members should work together in the same business.

Offer to help the family with their problems. You want to demonstrate compassion and therefore hopefully restore these three employees to better moods to benefit everyone and the business.

Let them all go with a good severance package. Maybe when they leave, the pervasive negative moods at the Grille will be lifted. Moods can spread, and you just can't afford those moods to be negative.

Meet with all your employees to help them understand the display expectations of their various jobs and positive ways to achieve better moods.
