Question

Government and contractor personnel work side by side on the beta project in a contractor's workspace. due to the tremendous progress that has been made in the project, both the government program manager and the contractor's project manager decide to reward employees. The contractor's project manager decides to give his employees the afternoon off. The government's program manager decides to grant federal employees a 59 minute early dismissal. which of the following statements is correct?

a) The contractor's employees get the afternoon off.
b) Federal employees get a 59-minute early dismissal.
c) Both managers made similar decisions.
d) The government program manager's decision is incorrect.

Answer 1

Both the contractor and government program managers rewarded their employees with time off, differing in the length and possibly in the impact of the rewards on employee morale. The contractor gave an afternoon off and the government program manager granted a shorter 59-minute early dismissal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the contractor's project manager and the government program manager have implemented rewards for their team members, though the specific rewards differ in type and duration. The contractor's project manager has given their employees the afternoon off, a more extended period of time, signifying a larger reward for the progress on the project. In contrast, the government program manager has decided on a 59-minute early dismissal for federal employees, which is a smaller gesture of recognition. The decisions made by both managers reflect their appreciation for the work done on the beta project, but are different in scale and perhaps in the message they send regarding the value of the employees' contributions.

The information provided in the question does not give sufficient context to assess the correctness of the government program manager's decision, as this may be subject to specific government regulations or policies. Additionally, it does not necessarily compare to the contractor's decision besides both being forms of recognition.
