ArchiTech Zone (Pty) Ltd
Source: cbu webmaster
ArchiTech Zone (Pty) Ltd is one of the top 10 architectural firms in South Africa. The
architectural firm focuses on designing both contemporary and traditional buildings, as well
as luxurious homes tailored to the needs of their clients. The firm remains at the forefront of
design by exploring new forms, pushing the boundaries without compromising on the
authenticity of the design, aesthetics, materials, and originality. Recently, ArchiTech Zone
(Pty) Ltd has found that the business is not doing as well as in the past. With the advent of
innovation and technology, competing architectural firms have recently entered the market
and have been offering “high tech architecture” at lowest prices and they are attracting new
clients including the ones who were previously serviced by ArchiTech Zone (Pty) Ltd.
Adri Van Rensburg, the HR manager at the firm, has noticed that the workload of five
employees, who are primarily in charge of researching historic architecture has declined
considerably. She is also aware that she simply cannot transfer one of them to a new
position. Further, the firm does not receive grants from the government based on their
employment equity status. Thus, Adri has reluctantly decided that she must terminate the
employment of one of these employees. Her question is, which one?
Timothy Jones: 45 years old; male; white; married with three children; 15 years with the
firm, graduated from an FET college with a national Diploma in architecture; knows how to
resolve difficult spatial designs issues due to his experience in urban planning; is difficult to
get along with; antagonises other employees at firm; hates filling out reports or completing
any administration-related tasks and refuses to do so on certain occasions, which forces
others to complete it for him in order to get the job done.
