    Question.no.1 Discuss what a manager should do in each of the two Michigan cases. Answer: Office Equipment repair technician Although it is risky but the manager should give him a second chance, because by the nature of job (i.e. job of technician) it does not seem that he would be in direct contact with potential victims.

The manager should test the employee’s future intentions through a question answer session, and if he appears to be honest and responsible about his future actions, then he should be give him a second chance.
