Question 1 (1 point) Scenario Sunset Dockside Grille is an oceanside destination with outstanding food. The restaurant has 5-star ratings on TripBuddy and has been recognized on the popular TV show Fill My Plate. However, the Grille's restaurant manager, Julio, has not been receiving similar good press, because he's recently been imprisoned for failing to pay income taxes for the last 10 years. Thankfully, his personal shortcomings didn't affect the Grille's reputation or sales, but the owners want a replacement manager for their staff of 20 full-time employees and 25 part-time employees, 15 of whom are seasonal workers. They want a manager who is in tune with the local clientele whose loyalty to the restaurant provides the restaurant with its winter sales when the tourists are gone. Because you just finished your business degree with a minor in culinary arts from a local university and your parents are regular customers at the Grille, you applied for the job.

Decision Point: Expressing Your Thoughts on Julio

Congratulations! After a number of interviews and tests, you are one of the top three candidates. During the final interview, one of the five owners says, "We think you're capable of doing the job, but really need someone who can carry on Julio's good attitude. He may have been a terrible financier, but he brought great energy to the job. We hated to let him go and would hire him back when he gets out of jail." How will you respond?

Choose the best answer

a "This really isn't the place for me," you say. You'll be polite, but you don't want to work for employers who don't seem to value ethical conduct. . . or risk losing your job to Julio when he's freed.

b "If you asked one of my references, they likely would say that I am very organized and have great initiative. I will hit the ground running at your restaurant because I have the education needed. I enjoy playing the Minecraft video game in my spare time," you add, "so it's not all work for me, I enjoy fun!"

c "Julio was great with the staff," you say. "In fact, Fernanda is one of my best friends, and she says it's a blast to work in the kitchen! She's told me a lot about Julio's positive attitude."

d "It's too bad Julio was caught," you say. "I'll be glad to follow in his footsteps, but be more careful of course!"

Question 2 (1 point) Decision Point: The Owners Respond Just as you're getting up to leave, the owners break into broad smiles. "Please stay," one says. "Sorry to put you through that test. It is impressive that you'll put ethics first no matter what it costs you personally. We're more like a team of investors than operational partners, even Seth and Jia, who started the restaurant 30 years ago. So we need to be sure you'll run the restaurant ethically. Everybody did love Julio, but he was a mess. We'd never hire him back. You're hired! What do you need first to get started?" Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.
