Homework: Workplace Negotiations
For the Critical Thinking homework, you are negotiating with your supervisor for a raise and also to work four days per week and 12-hour days. To begin this homework, answer the following questions (see below). You can use your current income and schedule as the "opponent's" BATNA. After you have thoroughly answered the questions, prepare a one-page summary of your findings. How would you gain power in this situation since the supervisor would have legitimate power? Submit both the question responses and your summary in the same document.
