To determine:
The view supported by you, if you were the HR manager.
Introduction:
There are two main types of the social contracts; the Old social contract and the New social contract. The Old social contract considers the workplace as a family and employees as family members. The management takes care of employee's interest first and employees show loyalty and commitment in return to the organization.
The New social contract focuses more on trust rather than loyalty, employees are self-motivated and employees are more likely to move from one company to another because job decisions are based on cultural knowledge and specific skills.

- Evan found several companies he was particularly interested in applying to for work. They had similar values to Evan, including supporting work/life balance, and challenging projects in areas Evan was passionate about. Evan didn’t see any current job openings, so Evan looked on LinkedIn® for a current employee at the manager level. He prepared a cover letter, detailing the specific values that attracted him to the company as well as his skills and qualifications. He asked to connect with the manager through LinkedIn®. When the manager accepted his invitation, he reviewed the manager’s profile and made some adjustments to his cover letter, highlighting that they went to the same school and were part of the same nonprofit organization. He then sent his cover letter with his resume attached through email.

Make your answer as complete and as clear as possible. On October 24th 2017, an employee working for Amazon at a Texas Fulfillment Center injured her back due to a broken guard rail that was supposed to protect her from falling inventory. Amazon refused to take any responsibility for the injury at the time and denied that the broken equipment was responsible. This is not the only incident of Amazon failing to consider the welfare of its employees. Amazon often does not pay for air conditioning for its warehouses staffed by human workers (while the warehouses staffed by robots must have AC or the robots will cease to function). And during the Covid-19 pandemic, Amazon refused to allow paid sick days for workers who were forced to quarantine due to exposure to the virus.

- On his first day as the new plant manager, Said noticed Khadija in the lab was not wearing safety glasses. The manager has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy as far as safety is concerned and his normal response would be to call her to his office and give strong orders to strictly follow the rules. He called her to his office and could see that she was worried about his reaction. But instead of leading with his dismay and disappointment, he started by explaining why he is so strict with regards to safety. He shared key concepts with her. He then asked her if she thought that the rule to wear safety glasses, even when there was no experiment on, was not necessary as there is no danger to the eyes.
