Assignment InstructionsResearch Paper: New Supervisory SkillsYour research paper is based on the following scenario:You have just taken over as a Shift Supervisor at Bad Teddy Bear Manufacturing and have a team of 30 under you. Your educational and training level is exactly what you have today.Your teams rotate shifts every 3 weeks and there are two shifts, morning, 0700-3:30 PM and evening, 3PM to 11:30PM. You have the flexibility to move people around shifts, and you stay on the same shift, with overlap (i.e. your hours are 9-6). Two co-leads take over when you are not there and stay on shifts with their workers. The previous supervisor was let go for cause, failure to meet quotas and leadership inability. The department’s morale is very low and there is a great deal of pressure for your shift to perform.On top of this, there is a problem with two of your employees, one is always late and the other calls in sick frequently (you can decide what factors lead to their absenteeism). The previous supervisor never did anything about this and everyone knew it was an issue. One of your co-leads has brought it to your attention and wants to know when you are going to fix it.You also have an employee that has been there for 14 years and has never been promoted to co-lead or supervisor. He came to you and wants to know why? He is an older worker and knows what he is doing, however, one of your co-leads told you that some of the younger workers grumble that he is too slow and can’t learn new technology. He also stated that unless he gets the opportunity to move up, he'll quit and make sure that management knows you never gave him a chance. Finally, there is a brand new worker, a single mother, who is super sharp and a very hard worker. She told you on your first day there how much she loves working at the company and wants to progress upward. However, childcare is an issue and sometimes she needs to leave early. On top of that, her car has left her stranded on several occasions.You are to develop a solution to present to each of your co-leads on how to start fixing some of these issues. Make the paper informative, with some of the techniques and terms that we have addressed thus far in the course that deal with new supervisors. This about the terms leaders vs. managers, counseling, feedback, types of leaders, SMART objectives, SWOT, generational differences, Theory X and Y, MBWA, and favoritism. These terms are not all-inclusive and you are welcome to add others to support your solutions.This can be a narrative paper, informative paper, a letter (albeit a long one) or a talking paper. You can use the first person to discuss what you think needs to be done. You can also assign tasks or take tasks away from co-leaders. Your supervisor, co-leads, and workers can have fictional names, you can add in additional issues or factors and most of all, have fun and be creative in developing this workplace. Your co-leads can be good or bad at their job, you can decide how little or much you want to delegate to them as well as how much reporting back to you is needed.Think about these challenges you will face as a new supervisor. You may want to break this into fixing immediate problems, a six-month goal, and one-year goal. You should use proper APA sixth edition formatting.You should have a title page, abstract page, 3-5 pages of body content and the last page should references. Make sure that your paper has references. Use at least 3 references on your paper. They should be articles that support your paper or lessons we have covered. Do not use Wikipedia!The paper should contain no more than 20% direct citations or quotations. That means 80% should be your own analysis, thoughts, and ideas. Have fun writing this and make sure to use good terms and sources. Writing Rubric

"The Metamorphosis" is a story about an apocalypse. This is not the end of the world necessarily as we see it occur in "By the Waters Of Babylon," where cities lie in ruins. But remember that apocalypse means "a lifting of the veil or revelation." For Gregor, turning into a bug is not just a metamorphosis but a sort of apocalypse, the catalyst that reveals an ugly truth to him. After he had wrapped up so much of his identity in caring for and providing for his family, they ultimately rejected him in his time of need.Think about the character of Gregor Samsa and the transformation of identity that he goes through.Write a literary analysis paper of no less than 400 words.Introduction: Provide a brief summary of the story and a general description of what "absurd" means.First body paragraph: Describe Gregor's identity. What was the essence of his identity? What did he care most about? What were Gregor's goals in life? As a human being, who was Gregor Samsa? (Hint: Look back at your chart from page four of this lesson.) Use at least two quotes from the story. Second body paragraph: Describe how Gregor’s identity deteriorates. What inhuman qualities does Gregor begin to display? (Physical, behavioral, etc.) How does the loss of his job affect his identity? How does his family's behavior toward him affect his identity and his attitude? What brings joy or meaning to Gregor's life as a bug? Why does Gregor starve himself? What is his attitude toward his own death? As a bug, who was Gregor Samsa? Use at least two quotes from the story. Conclusion: Is Gregor Samsa's identity destroyed or purified through his metamorphosis?
