Summary

Gather round, employees! I've bought you all something so special. You'll want to work twice as hard once you see what it is. Drumroll please. It's tickets to the opera! What's that? You don't care for hours of singing in German? You can't easily get a babysitter for a four-hour trip to the big city much less pay for parking? Well, guess I should have listened to that episode of ABA Inside Track where research on alternatives for managers making guesses as to what will function as a reinforcer for employees was discussed. Maybe they'd have allowed us to avoid this embarrassing and disheartening exchange. So, you cool if I scalp those tickets?

This episode is available for 1.0 SUPERVISION CEU.
