Foundational Scenario<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nYou are a group of unpaid interns in a fifty-year-old, family-owned printing company with a core group of thirty employees. You work in administration, and report to the same Office Manager, Chris. Your contract is coming to an end, but traditionally those interns who have done well are offered full-time employment. Times are tough, and you\u2019d all like to find stable, well-paid employment, with opportunities for career advancement. Your group is on a break together, as has become a tradition for the past six months you\u2019ve worked together. Today is particularly exciting as it is your last day.\r\n\r\nDetermine who will portray Employee #1, #2, #3 and #4. Ensure the facilitator knows who is playing which role.\r\n

Warm-up Exercise for all three scenarios<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nDecide what role you, as an intern, might play in the company (e.g., accounts receivable, shipping, contracts, inventory, human resources, etc.). Once you decide the roles, use your actual first names, but introduce yourselves as if you are meeting for the first time<\/strong>. Provide a brief history of your experience in your chosen role. Ask general background questions of each other.\r\n

Scenario 1<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nWarm-up recommended before starting.<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s Friday and the last day of your internship. You\u2019re on coffee break together. Discuss your weekend plans individually and as a group. Consider any texts you receive individually and decide how you will proceed.\r\n\r\nConsiderations:\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Whom do you tell, if anyone?<\/li>\r\n \t
  • If you opt to reply to any communications, how will you word the message?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    For facilitator<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCommunicate as the boss with Employee #1: \u201cHi. It\u2019s Chris. I\u2019d like to discuss your future with the company. Drinks after work today?\u201d<\/em>\r\n\r\nLet the discussion go for a few minutes then send the following communication as the boss to Employee #3: \u201cHi, this is Chris. I\u2019m concerned about your behaviour today. I think we can work it out over dinner this weekend. Need to know now.\u201d<\/em>\r\n

    Scenario 2<\/h2>\r\nWarm-up recommended before starting, unless it has already been done during the session.<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s Friday and the last day of your internship. You\u2019re on coffee break together. Discuss your weekend plans individually and as a group. Consider any texts you receive individually and decide how you will proceed.\r\n\r\nConsiderations:\r\n

    • If you opt to reply to any communications, how will you word the message?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

      For facilitator<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThese messages can play to or against traditional binary gender roles. Communicate as the boss with Employee #2: \u201cHey, it\u2019s Chris. Just tell the guys I\u2019m taking you and them out tonight to celebrate. No gals allowed.<\/em> OR<\/strong> \u201cHey, it\u2019s Chris. Just tell the gals I\u2019m taking you and them out tonight to celebrate. No guys allowed.\u201d<\/em>\r\n

        For facilitator<\/em><\/h3>\r\nCommunicate as the boss to Employee #4: \u201cIt\u2019s Chris. No need to finish the accounts. I\u2019ll get one of the interns to stay late. If they hope to return they\u2019ll do what I say. Besides, those people are good at math and it won\u2019t take them long.\u201d<\/em>\r\n\r\nLet the discussion go for a few minutes then send the following communication as the boss to Employee #4: \u201cOops. Sorry, I sent that last message to the wrong person. Don\u2019t share with anyone as this is confidential and puts you at risk.\u201d<\/em>\r\n
