  1. Federal Regulations (Exhibit 17.2). Identify which one of the federal pay regulations that has most recently impacted your company. Provide an example to support your response (e.g., new policies or procedures, litigation, investigation, perceived noncompliance by employees, specific employee training and so forth).
  2. FLSA (pages 626-636). After reading “Still Your Turn: From Barista to Manager,” respond to the following case questions:
    1. Look at the case from the company’s point of view. Is this company running afoul of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)?
    2. Refer back to the discussion earlier in Chapter 17. Would this company be able to document that the store managers are exempt from the FLSA (not to mention similar state laws)?
    3. If managers feel overworked and underpaid, what do you project they will do when the economy picks back up? Is that a concern for the Company? Have other companies in your industry (e.g., Starbucks, Caribou, Peet’s, etc.) had any FLSA issues? If so, what can you learn from their experiences?
    4. Would you advise meeting with corporate counsel? If so, what facts and observations would you recommend be presented at such a meeting? If not, why not?

Needs to be 100 words per question please.

Thank you so much for helping and I will give you a thumbs up or whatever you ask just add it in the bottom of your answer please.

Living in Alignment with your Personal Philosophy

People talk about “becoming” and “being” your best.

What is someone’s “best?” Seriously, what is your “best?” It’s incredibly difficult to get your arms around it, partly because it’s a moving target that is influenced by dynamically moving components: your current skill, your world-view and the environmental conditions.

After spending time with so many world-leading performers – many are uncommonly relentless toward pursuing their “best.” And — there’s a more stable component that keeps emerging – many have a very clear sense of the principles that guide them. Those principles are at the foundation of “being” and “becoming” their best. And — one of the most significant measures of “best” is not just the metric of winning, but rather the deeper acknowledgement that they gave everything they had — and — stayed true to their guiding principles (aka, their personal philosophy).

Before we talk about “being your best” — Do you have a personal philosophy?

If so, what is it?

Can you succinctly say it in under 25 words?

In the modern world, philosophy — the pursuit of wisdom or the study of knowledge – can seem antiquated or even academic. As philosophy has moved over the centuries from the market square to the ivory tower, it is often viewed as a distant discipline that doesn’t have much to do with our lives. That couldn’t be further from the truth — and we don’t have to look further than world-class performers and leaders for evidence of how vital and alive philosophy is. We have found that almost across the board the best in the world operate from a clear and finely tuned personal philosophy.

A personal philosophy is a word or phrase that consists of the principles that influences your thoughts, words and actions.?

We all have a personal philosophy. It doesn’t sit outside of you. It lives inside of you, waiting to be expressed, waiting to be revealed. You might not consciously know what it is, or you might only know parts, but it’s there. Your philosophy impacts your thoughts, tendencies and behaviors and plays an active role in your daily life. It may be the fundamental force that shapes how you experience life. You just need to uncover it. Your philosophy is revealed by the choices you make and the actions you take.

Your personal philosophy serves as a compass to align your thoughts, words, and actions. It expresses your basic beliefs and values. Your personal philosophy guides every decision you make, influences the friends you choose, the love you find, the purchases you make, jobs you inhabit, where you live in the world, the way you feel about yourself, and the possibilities you hold for yourself.

The adventure of mastery of self, through mastery of craft, is not well traveled. Independent of where you are on that journey, one of the more powerful practices is to begin to answer the hard questions: Who am I? What am I about? And what is my purpose?

A way to start this process could be writing down the answers to some of these questions:

Q1.Who are people that you look up to and what do they stand for?

Q2 What are your favorite quotes?

Q3.What are your favorite words?

Draw a 3NF ERD for the following business case. You may make reasonable assumptions about cardinalities with clear textual clarifications. You need to label primary keys and foreign keys in your diagram.
Car Rental is a car rental company which has been founded recently in London. It currently has four branches opened in London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. Car Rental is planning to expand to Liverpool
in the future. A branch has an address and a telephone number. Each rental car must be associated with exactly one Car Rental branch. A rental car can be identified by its registration number and has the information about the model and the production year. Each employee
working at Car Rental has a unique tax file number (TFN), a name and an address. Car Rental employees consist of managers, mechanics, and customer service representatives. Every employee must work at exactly
one branch. A customer of Car Rental should provide driver license number, name, and a contact number. A customer can rent a car from a Car Rental branch and details about the rental such as the rental period and price should be recorded. If a customer is not satisfied
with the rental service provided, this customer may submit a complaint to a customer service representative who is identified by a unique service representative ID and thus a distinct reference number and detailed description of the complaint should be recorded. The manager, associated with a manager ID, of a branch will handle all the complaints with respect to this branch and has an urgent contact number in case of emergency. Mechanics working at a branch inspect the cars associated with the branch and record the condition and
inspection date. A car must be inspected at least two times per year.
Each mechanic has a certificate ID and a skill level, and might have another mechanic as the supervisor. The supervisor must have a higher skill level compared to the mechanics supervised by this supervisor.

a.Given a starting on-hand inventory of 40 units of Gadget 2000, determine the minimum amount/rate of production required for a “Mixed” (i.e., level production with inventory) strategy to satisfy the total demand over the next six weeks with no backlogs. And then show the required production (i.e., S&OP) plan (using a table as shown below), including estimating the inventory levels (for both starting and ending) for each of the next six weeks. (Please use a blank sheet to show your work for all three [a, b, and c] questions and upload it back into Canvas here.)

Show your revised “Mixed” plan that meets all the conditions (e.g., minimum production amount to satisfy the total demand over the six weeks with no backlogs). Show the required production (S&OP) plan (using an updated table as shown below), including a new/updated minimum production rate (if necessary), and inventory levels (both starting and ending) for each of the next six weeks.

c.The owner of Gestalt reviews the “Mixed” plan from (b) and decides that she would rather have a “Chase” plan using the same starting inventory of 40 units and requiring a fixed buffer inventory (i.e., safety stock) of 15 units. Using the updated demand forecast from (b), show the required production (“Chase”) plan, including (both starting and ending) inventory levels, for each of the next six weeks.
