Management Theory [Tuesday, March 24, 4th period]
The Danger Shop was ready with the usual levers and slides and awesome uniforms as like any Yzma-led week, but when they arrived at their destinations there was just Toby, the TA. Oh, and a slight glitch in the Danger Shop program.
But hey, Toby could so do this. He was the sub, in charge of like, making sure class went smoothly despite Miss Yzma's unfortunate kitty-cat take on life. "Hey guys! Miss Yzma is a kitten this week, so I'm gonna like, lead the class in her place. How awesome is that?" Toby was super excited for the opportunity. "She didn't have like, a syllabus, so I decided we should learn about staff motivation." Someone should be taking pictures of the magically nearly-coherent Toby. It could be like a Nessie sighting.
"All managers need, like employees under them, right? So how do we pick the right staff members for our needs? Well, we figure out a description of what we want them to do and make sure they can do it, duh! Like when I got hired by the beyond awesome Miss Bell, she needed someone smart who had good taste at Pixie Dust and I am so totes that. But on top of it, I also met her need of having pretty employees who could up-sell to customers, so it was like a two-for-one deal. And then she motivated me to do an awesome job by offering discounts, absinthe, and the opportunity to set stuff on fire. But like, before that, in Dante's Cove I was a bartender and I was so totally unmotivated. The guy who owned the bar was a jackass and way too touchy for my tastes. He didn't pay that well, either so I tended to like, slack off and not get much done when there was down time without customers. So how would you motivate someone who's not interested in their job? How would you wanna be motivated as an employee?"
Toby was almost making sense here, but he got the feeling he was talking a lot. "Anyways, let's talk about motivation and what work-" Toby was interrupted by a bucket of green slime falling from above onto his head. "WHAT IN THE HELL?" Toby looked all around himself, wondering what had just happened and why. "OMM this is so like, totes embarrassing. You dudes start talking about motivation and I'll be over here with a towel!"
[THE WORD OF THE DAY IS "WORK"! Say it and mod your own SLIME!]
