QUESTION

Tarnofsky and Robin are most likely to disagree about which of the following questions?

A) Would telecommuting likely lead to cost savings?
B) Does the organization have a moral obligation to offer flextime and job-sharing options?
C) If offering a job-sharing option would not reduce costs, should the organization still offer it?
D) Would the organization be better able to keep valuable employees if it offered flextime and job-sharing options?
E) Are any other organizational structure decisions important for the future of the organization?

ANSWER

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Tarnofsky talks about retaining talent but not costs, and so Tarnofsky has no opinion on Choice A. Robin focuses on costs only, and so has no opinion on Choice D. Robin’s support for job sharing is based on its ability to control costs, so while Robin would say “no” to Choice C, Tarnofsky would say “yes.” Choices B and E: Neither speaker mentions moral obligations (Choice B) or makes any claims about other organizational structure decisions (Choice E).
