Please take in consideration my problem, repay me $399.

On April 29, 2009 I purchased a Casio Exilm EX-Z9 Camera from a local Wal-Mart, after I then proceeded home and took the camera out of its box. After I read the manual on how to get started on page A-3 I then followed the direction clearly and concisly turn turned the camera on everything was fine, but when I press the capture button nothing would happen. I then took the camera back to the store for a so they can have a look at it so hoping they could help me use it or tell me whats wrong but they could not figuar it out eithier. I have purchased your purducts before and never had any complants on them, and I know that this will not happed next time I buy one of your purducts.

I would be very grateful if I was refunded my $399 thankyou.

This is a reminder to all supervisors that, April 15 is the deadline for performance appraisals. This year appraisels are very important do to this hectic year we`re having, do to that James Robinson, director, Human Resources asks you to follow these five steps in completing the appraisels.

Each employee should have a performance plan with three or four main objectives.
Should mention three strengths the employee has, three areas for improvement. Should focus on skills, rather than on things like being late frequently.
Use a scale of 1 to 5 to assess employees: 1 = consistently exceeds requirements; 5 = does not meet requirments at all.
Meet with employees to discuss the appraisal.
Finally supervisors who want to resrve a space at the training workshop should contact Lynn Jeffers at ljeffers@rainco.com, workshop on Februray 20 for those who want to update the`re skills.

Thank you for taking the time to read over this message, I believe that these steps will help you with the appraisels.

introduction

This is my first year in college, right now till I get settled in school and i find out what I would perfer to do I`m just working on my general studies, what led me to choose this as my major is I wanted to start school but did not want to jump in to a major that I did not know anything about, and I have many goals for my future but im just going to say one of them which is eventually I want to own my own business maybe a repair business my not shore just yet. What rationale did I have for taking this course, again I basicly just pick a class, and my main goal for this class is to work my hardest, get the best grade I can get, pluse get as much out of this class as I can possibly get.


1.10 Cross- Cultural Gap At Resort Hotel In Thailand

As the director of this hotel, I would implement a training program. I would have the foreign managers and the employees, but the requirements for passing the class would be different for managers than the Thai employees also the courses would be different. Training programs would include classes on learning about the differences between each cultures, some non-verbal communication.


1.12 Analyzing Diversity At Reebok


Will different ethnics groups have very different ways on how they feel, and what they want there apparel and footwear to be like, and I believe that if Reebok dversify there employees they will get many ideas from each group that the other just can`t relate to or know. Plus fresh ideas will create products for new customers that really didn`t wear Reebok before.
