Need a short response PLEASE!!!!!

After your main post, respond to two of your classmates' posts about scenarios different from the one you chose for your main post. In your responses, consider their recommendations and then discuss whether you agree with their approach or you would recommend a different plan and why.

The scenario I chose to analyze is the first scenario:

Aimee is the mother of a newborn. She is very dedicated to her work but she used to stay for longer hours at work before she had her baby. Now she tries to schedule her work so that she leaves around 5:00 p.m. Her immediate manager feels that Aimee is no longer dedicated or committed to her work and is considering passing her over for a promotion. Is this decision fair?

This decision is unfair to Aimee. She continues to work hard and is dedicated to her job. After having her baby, Aimee has additional responsibilities that require her time and attention outside of work. As stated in the scenario, there is nothing to suggest Aimee is slacking off or producing lesser quality work, she is simply trying to "schedule her work so that she leaves around 5:00 p.m" (Bauer, 2019, p. 293). To manage this situation, I would speak directly to Aimee's immediate manager to see if there is any indication that Aimee is truly no longer dedicated or committed; Aimee is not producing high quality work or not finishing her assigned work. If there is no indication of this, I would explain to the immediate manager that placing biases on Aimee now that she is the mother of a newborn is unfair to her and to all parents within the company who manage their time between work and family responsibilities. The immediate manager should base promotions on quality of work and successful projects rather than quantity of time spent working. For Aimee, if she is still producing the same quality work, there is no real reason to consider passing her up for a promotion.
