After talking with Cody, Kaitlin met with the whole staff to discuss their issues with the schedule at We Know Beans. "I understand you want more flexibility," she explained, "but with all the variability in everyone's schedules, making a weekly schedule just takes too long. Does anyone have any suggestions for how we can resolve this issue?"
Haleigh said, "Well, this isn’t a suggestion, but it’s another piece of the problem you need to know about. On the new schedule, you have me working on Saturday mornings. I’ve had to trade that shift since I’m Jewish and I keep the Sabbath. I’m not supposed to work Saturday until sundown. Whatever we decide on, there has to be a way that I don’t work Saturdays."
Kaitlin made note of that, and let Haleigh know that respecting her religious needs was very important. Haleigh's interests were based on her values, which Kaitlin knew meant that her needs weren't negotiable.
Select another example of an interest that is based on values.
a.) "I think it's unethical to throw away so much garbage, so I'm only going to purchase biodegradable coffee cups."
b.) "Whenever we host open mic events at the café, I end up staying late to deal with the mess, so I don't want to work those shifts anymore."
c.) "I don't think we charge enough for our large coffee, so I don't want to fill the cup all the way to the brim."
d.) "I really like my tattoos and don't want to cover them up, even though our dress code says I should."
