He"s soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year. Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting.
Chris has made several changes for his division in his past year. Firstly, he bought new equipment for one of the departments. He"s been particularly happy about new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them. Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and to do simple maintenance themselves. The training saved time for the employees and money for the company.
Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year. Two employees that Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them. Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months and he would like to be promoted to the job. Chris knows, however, that someone else wants the new job, too. Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another division of the company. She has also made several changes over the year.
