Ms. Happy is coming late to work and frequently absent and when she is there, she seems to be
too tired and not interested in her work. This has been going on for the last three months. Prior to
this time, she had been a reliable and good employee. The supervisor decided to have a
conversation with her to discuss the situation. During the conversation, Ms. Happy does not
disagree and she was ask for explanation. She says that her husband is sick and unable to work.
She also says it is very difficult for him to care for their four young children. As a result, when she
is not at work she has to care for her children. She says that prior to her husband’s illness, they had
not enough money to pay a neighbor to help with the children and the housework. She has also
been working 30 hours a week as a brick layer to help pay her husband's medical bills. The
supervisor also ask how long her husband has been sick and she says about three months.
