Summary: Discrimination In The Workplace
On November 13, 2015 I conducted an interview with Gary Martinelli who is a supervisor at Del’s Custard & Yogurt, which he has worked at for 20 years. I use to work at this establishment and with that being said I have always felt that as a supervisor Mr. Gary Martinelli’s responsibilities were always over looked or unappreciated.

How do you manage conflict between team members?
Conflict in the work place is interesting because some people do not have what the ability to handle the situation properly. Different supervisors handle issue by either avoiding or resolving. I wanted to ask this question see what Mr. Martinelli’s take was on the issue.

Each of the owner are different, nonetheless they all do listen and respond back to whatever the issue of topic is at the moment.
Gary stated that he does not have conflict with others and it is never problematic. He is the type of person that he is he gets along with almost everyone he comes into contact with. He doesn’t not get offended easily, but he did say that there has been few people I the past that he didn’t not particularly get along with. In these situation he never showed it and tried to keep thing casual. Mr. Martinelli’s exact words were, “For the most part I am pretty confident they all knew that I liked them!” If there are any conflicts between the girls and it is bad enough he will send the trouble maker home. This way they both get the idea and usually don’t repeat the
