Ethics on Job, the Mechanic's Dilemma on Quotta
Seeing the dilemmas
* Should the manager look after the benefits of the owner or should he do what he thinks is right?
* The amount of quotas being asked by the owner is it really a necessity or is he asking for too much?
* Should the manager support the owner’s decision being profit driven?
* Should the manager consider what the mechanics are mentoring him or they are also being greedy too?
* Should the manager look after the interest of his customers or the mechanics?
* Is it right to influence customers decision and impose them on doing maintenance works immediately even if it’s not urgent?
* Should the manager look after his wages and worry about his two daughters and the mortgage? Is this selfishness?
* The mechanics, should they stay quiet and deal with the job as it comes normally or find another job?
* Do the mechanics have to pressurize the manager to get more hours?
* As the owner, is it fair to give your employees a monthly quota?
* Is the quota a reasonable one?
* Shouldn’t the quota be changed according to seasons?
* Should the owner think more about his employees and give them some achievable incentives or should he worry about the company’s revenues?
* Is it a good idea to expand the business by doing a side job, for example,
‘Tyre repairs and wheel balancing’ or expand the business with another side job like a snack and coffee service? Instead of monthly quotas.
