Management has decided to combine all three Measurement Strategies in order to give the software programmers incentives that match the company's goals
If the products meet their Gamma goals, software programmers who have met either their Alpha goals or their Beta goals will be rewarded, but if the products fail to meet their Gamma goals, software programmers will not be rewarded unless they have met both their Alpha goals and their Beta goals. Under this system, which of the following CANNOT be true?
A) A software programmer who has met his or her Alpha goals is not rewarded.
B) A software programmer who has not met his or her Beta goals is rewarded.
C) A software programmer who has met neither his or her Alpha goals nor his or her Beta goals is not rewarded.
D) The company meets its Gamma goals, and a software programmer who meets his or her Alpha goals is not rewarded.
E) The company does not meet its Gamma goals, and a software programmer who meets his or her Beta goals is not rewarded.
Answer: D
Explanation: D) If the company hits its Gamma goals, then the software programmers need to hit just one of Alpha and Beta in order to be rewarded. So Choice D is impossible. Choice A could be true if this person did not meet his or her Alpha goals and the company did not meet its Gamma goals. Choice B could be true if this person met his or her Alpha goals and the company met its Gamma goals. Choice C: Those who fail both goals aren't guaranteed a reward. Choice E could be true if the person did not meet his or her Alpha goals.
