Answer 6

im thinking it would actually be negative reinforcement

Answer 7

Depends on who we're talking about.. I suppose. If it's not positive, then it must be talking about the employees that have to stay.

Answer 8

It could be both positive reinforcement, and negative reinforcement.

Joe is being given something good, because he did a good job.
That's the definition of Positive Reinforcement.

Joe also does not have to work as much.
We're TAKING AWAY something that Joe does not like -- extra time at work.
We're taking it away, because Joe did a good job.
That is Negative Reinforcement.

POSITIVE Reinforcement is GIVING something that someone likes.

NEGATIVE Reinforcement is TAKING AWAY something that someone does not like.
