#its v important to note that henry for sure values you over all else - even his own state of mind / wellbeing

[homecomingvn]

Would Henwy ever be honest about his feelings(insecurities) if the MC knew they were hiding how they really felt and were hurt about it?

It would take a lot, and I mean a lot of reassurance from you for Henry to really open up in regards to their insecurities. Despite how close the two of you are, Henry still has lingering doubts in how much you actually like him - they know their feelings for you to be genuine, but can the same be said about yours for him?

But if you were to tell him that you were hurt by him hiding this from you, Henry would immediately crumble and bare every little insecurity - seeing you in any form of pain, whether it be emotional or physical, is Henry's number one weakness (even if it ends up hurting them in the process).

4. Dolly Daleja continued to drum her fingers on her desk. She had a real problem and wasn’t sure what to do next. She had a lot of confidence in Sunny Master, but she suspected she was about the last person in the office who did. Perhaps if she ran through the entire story again in her mind she would see the solution. Dolly Raheja had been distribution manager for Raheja Industries for almost twenty years. An early brush with the law and a short stay in prison had made her realize the importance of honesty and hard work. Raheja had given her a chance despite her record, and Dolly Raheja had made the most of it. She now was one of the most respected managers in the company. Few people knew her background. Dolly Raheja had hired Sunny Master fresh out of prison sixmonths ago. Dolly Raheja understood how Sunny Master felt when Sunny Master tried to explain his past and asked for another chance. Dolly Raheja decided to give him that chance just as Henry Raheja had given her one. Sunny Master eagerly accepted a job on the loading docks and could soon load a truck as fast as anyone in the crew. Things had gone well at first. Everyone seemed to like Jack, and he made several new friends. Dolly Raheja had been vaguely disturbed about two months ago, however, when anotherdock worker reported his wallet missing. She confronted Sunny Master about this and was reassured when Sunny Master understood her concern and earnestly but calmly asserted his innocence. Dolly Raheja was especially relieved when the wallet was found a few days later. The events of last week, however, had caused serious trouble. First, a new personnel clerk had come across records about Jack’s past while updating employee files. Assuming that the information was common knowledge, the clerk had mentioned to several employees what a good thing it was to give exconvicts like Sunny Master a chance. The next day, someone in bookkeeping discovered some money missing from petty cash. Another worker claimed to have seen Sunny Master in the area around the office strongbox, which was open during working hours, earlier that same day. Most people assumed Sunny Master was the thief. Even the worker whose wallet had been misplaced suggested that perhaps Sunny Master had indeed stolen it but had returned it when questioned. Several employees had approached Dolly Raheja and requested that Sunny Master be fired. To her dismay, Dolly Raheja found that rethinking the story did little to solve his problem. Should she fire Sunny Master? The evidence, of course, was purely circumstantial, yet everybody else seemed to see things quite clearly. Dolly Raheja feared that if she did not fire him, she would lose everyone’s trust and that some people might even begin to question her own motives.

 Answer the following question.

Q1. Explain the events in this case in terms of perception and attitudes. Does personality play a role?

Q2. What should Dolly Raheja do?

Q3. Should she fire Sunny Master or give him another chance? Explain your answer with reasons.

Q4. Explain the differing perceptions at Raheja Industries?

Sunder singh had studied only up to high school. He was now 32 years of age, lived alone in a rented room, and worked together eight hour shift at on e petrol pump, then went to the other one for another eight hour shift. He had a girlfriend and was planning to marry. One day when he returned to work, he got a note from his girlfriend that she was getting married to someone else and he need not bother her. This was a terrible shock to sunder singh and he fell apart. He stopped going to work, spent sleepless nights, and was very depressed. After a month, he was running low on his savings and approached his earlier employers to get back his job, but they

would not give him a second chance. He had to quit his rented room, and sold the few things that he had. He would do some odd jobs at the railway station or the bus terminus. One day, nearly two years ago, he was very hungry and did not have any money and saw a young man selling newspapers. He asked him what he was selling and he told him about Guzara(an independent, non profit, independent newspaper sold by the homeless and economically disadvantaged men and women of this metro city). Sunder singh approached the office and started selling the newspaper. He did not make lot of money, but was good at saving it. He started saving

money for a warm jacket for next winter. He was reasonably happy; he had money to buy food, and no longer homeless and shared a room with two others. One day, with his savings he bought a pair of second hand Nike shoes from the flea market. Sunder singh is not unique among low income consumers, especially in large cities, in wanting and buying Nike shoes. Some experts believe that low income consumers too want the same products and service that other consumer wants. The working poor are forced to spend a disproportionate percent of their income on food, housing, utilities and health care. They solely rely on public transportation, spend very little on entertainment of any kind, and have no security of any kind. Their fight is mainly for day to day survival.

 Answer the following question.

Q1. What are the features of low income consumers?

Q2. How would you differentiate a low income consumers and high income consumers?
