Tom is responsible for giving a bonus to factory workers that have perfect attendance during the month. One worker missed one day due to a death in the family. The worker starts crying in Tom’s office and tells Tom that she needs the bonus desperately since she is behind on her rent. The rules are clear and the bonus is for a perfect attendance period no if, buts, or maybes. However, Tom does have the authority to make exceptions to the rule. What should Tom do?

Since she was out for a death in the family, then begins crying in his office over her rent, it seems that maybe she is taking advantage of him, so no, Tom should not give her a bonus.

Explanation:

If the rent thing were to have something to do with the death in the family, like the person who died was helping her pay and no longer can, then I think Tom should make an exception.

Hope this helps! Have a great day! God Bless.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
