Employee Dissatisfaction: Telling Normal from Dangerous
As a human resources specialist, you must be able to tell when employees are voicing normal frustrations and when they have become so disgruntled that they are a liability to the company.
In this test, you will read two statements an employee might be heard making. You must choose the statement that represents a dangerous level of dissatisfaction or job stress.
Hey, I’m going to put some plants in my cubicle, okay?"
"Can I put this gun rack up in my cubicle?"
"I just can't afford to stay here without at least a five percent raise."
"I demand a 500% raise, a company car, a company mistress and a statue of myself in the lobby."
"Bill in accounting told me you were thinking about firing me."
"My dog told me you were thinking about firing me."
"I have to skip lunch this time, you guys go without me."
"I don't need lunch: my body isn't composed of organic substances anymore."
"You're the reason nothing ever gets done around here."
"You're the reason god has abandoned us."
"I guess I'll have to work late again, damn it."
"Well, I have nothing to go home to so I might as well sit here at my desk and work until I die of exhaustion and they can put on my gravestone 'He gave his life for a crappy, meaningless job, because he was a moron.'"
"That's it, I can't take this anymore. I'm giving my two weeks notice."
"I'm giving you all five minutes notice starting... now."
"I just go through a lot of pens. Jeesh, it's not like I'm taking them home or anything."
"I need more pens. I'm building something. And don't ask what it is, because you wouldn't understand."
"I'm not feeling too good, I'm taking a sick day, alright?”
"The person who once worked for you is now dead."
