Answer:

1) No, Justin does not have a good attitude to work. The characteristic of a good employee is the ability to make sound, effective and critical decisions. There are situations that require workers to use their discretion, Justin is acting like a robot and is failing in this regard.

2) I would let him realize the importance of team work in an organization. For an organization to develop, the culture of team work and not individuality must be encouraged. I would advise him to let go of his high - mindedness and let us work as a team.

3) It was not right to argue with his co-worker most especially when he was wrong. Justin could have verified the information given to him by his co-worker and put things in order. Nobody is above mistake, the ability to identify them and listen to corrections makes one a good employee.

4) Justin was not correct. He lacks discipline for broadcasting the personal discussions between two people in an organization, more importantly when it is not malicious to the growth of the organization. That is intrusion of privacy.

5) The supervisor was probably rebuking Justin for his bad attitudes to work. His attitude of infidelity, inability to keep secret and insubordination.

She can also issue him a query for this acts

If I was one of Justin's co-workers, I would advise him on the proper work ethics and how to apply them. I would also advise him for an attitudinal change.
