Provide an explanation of how you would handle a situation like this if you were made aware of the scenario. Remember, it is never as simple as "I would fire that person" and shows a lack of critical thinking and problem solving. Imagine the people perpetuating this type of behavior are your friends or family. Be detailed in your justifications.

Mickey is now certain that the behavior is on purpose, and she starts avoiding her supervisor, even when she needs help or clarification on her work.
