Robert Singer, made Brittany’s life unbearable at the office by constantly staring at her picture of her in her bathing suit, making inappropriate comments about her chest, taking and altering her bathing suit photo to where she appeared topless, and saving her picture as his screen saver without her permission. She told Robert to stop with the inappropriate comments, told fellow co-workers about the harassment that was taking place, and even went to speak to her supervisor Dwayne about Robert’s inappropriate behavior but nothing seemed to deter him from his harassment. During the conversation that Brittany was having with her supervisor, she was informed by an off-the-collar remark from Dwayne that Robert had harassed a fellow co-worker before and hasn’t seemed to learn his lesson from the previous situation. Her supervisor informed her that he would take care of the matter and speak with Robert. Robert, took down the offensive photos from his screen saver but never stopped the inappropriate comments towards Brittany.…
Deborah is seen to have made some offensive remarks about Melinda to other staff in the company through the use of strong critics that she is an egotistical slave-driver with no respect for the people who are being supervised this is because of the lack of freedom to do things the way she likes doing it. Although these things she enjoys doing are selfish in nature and are seen to be unproductive at work. She enjoys having two hours break instead of an hour as stipulated by the company. Not only that she comes to work often time an hour after the normal time and leaves the work an hour before the closing time on the excuse of taking kids early in their schools. She felt threatened that she may not enjoy the freedom anymore more importantly that Melinda’s office will be supervising her office. She doesn’t want to relinquish her selfish attitude…

The simulation took me through a series of steps to guide me on how to look at the situation from different ethical lenses. Identifying the rights and responsibilities and results of all that are involved would be my first lenses to look at. I took different approaches than what the simulation suggested but the end result was me letting her know that she could meet with me to discuss the situation and that she should review the company handbook to give her more insight on our harassment policies and so she would understand why I could not guarantee complete…
Sexual harassment or intimidation is cause for a meeting. These are often close-knit sessions, with only management, an HR rep and the person lodging the claim taking part. In some cases, a member of your company's legal team might take part. These meetings are designed to get one side of the story, with the target of the complaint participate in a separate meeting. These meetings are serious business, with a looming risk of lawsuits or even workplace violence hanging overhead.…
Mary Davis needs to debate on what she needs, what is morally right, and what her next action will be. If she needs to pay her bills then it does not matter as to what is morally right or wrong. She would need to focus on keeping her job and act as if she never wrote her article. If she is not desperate to keep her job she should do what is morally right to her which could be sticking to what she believes in. Going into her company and addressing that she was a very hard and consistent worker for them, but she will be leaving due to the situation. She could go to court ad fight that her ultimatum is unjust. She is obligated to be on the side of the company she works for or to pick her own side. She has to choose whether to keep her job or not.…

As a resource, Ms. Pancake had proposed to micro manage my efforts to ensure the conceptual understanding of my responsibilities and I agreed. We had arranged to do so on Wednesday, December 7 as it would be less strenuous on her time schedule. This was to give her the opportunity to complete her required closing processes, while demonstrating to them that I was competent with my allotted tasks by completing them in the time requested. She and Mr. Rackers had accepted my proposal. As the day came, she was resolving an issue from the previous accounting week, and was speaking with Mr. Whittaker about invoicing. After speaking with him, she had walked back to office, but stopped by my cubicle to check my progress. The conversation went…
In the scenario other things are mentioned for hypothetical purpose but work place harassment is very serious and come and I have dealt with it many times. This harassment takes many forms; unwelcome action toward an employee that makes the employee unable to do their job can cause a person to believe they are working in a hostile environment. The harassment can be based on seniority/authority (quid pro quo), sexual, racial, and religious along with other protected classes. In this case it is again clear that it is sexual harassment based on her gender, coupled with the quid pro quo in the threat to use his seniority to have her fired, not to mention the fact he committed a criminal assault if she pressed the issue is all well enough to make this a hostile work…
Based on Robert’s behavior and comments, Brittany was experiencing a hostile environment sexual harassment. Robert is a co-worker whose behavior is unwelcome and inappropriate; therefore creating a workplace that is intimidating, hostile, and/or offensive. His behavior was due to Brittany’s gender and physical attributes. She often witnessed him staring at the photo of her in her bathing suit and making lewd comments regarding her body. She requested he stop making comments because it made her uncomfortable. Shortly after, she found that he scanned the photo to his computer. Upon confronting him again, Robert went to her supervisor complaining that she was not informing him of his messages in a timely manner, which was not true.…
I believe that our company stands to lose a lot as a result of a successful suit against us by Ms. Pollard. We have reason to believe that if these actions are taken to court, we will find it difficult to deny the allegations and defend ourselves in the lawsuit. Harassment is defined as a punishable offense, and is inappropriate and illegal for company workers, both management and the labor force, to participate in any behavior which is deemed harassing, threatening, demeaning or uncomfortable by the person who is claiming harassment. According to the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (ADA), and the evidence presented by Ms. Pollard, our workers and management have clearly participated in violations of those orders. A simple defense on our part is to claim that there was no hostile work environment created, and that these incidents were few and far between, however, according to the law petty slights, annoyances and isolated incidents will not rise to the level of illegality, but I believe the amount of abuse that Ms. Pollard has taken, and can prove against us, is clearly enough to reasonably see how she can claim a hostile work environment. The fact that Ms. Pollard may have been 'easy' with some of the other gentlemen or inviting in some other ways does not mean that she has no case. She has voiced her disapproval of her treatment on many occasions and has made…

For me personally, I find http://www.choosemyplate.gov be a quick, simple reminder for all of us to be more mindful of the foods that we’re eating. I can already tell how much this is going to help people across the United States. The MyPlate icon emphasizes the fruit, vegetable, grains, protein and dairy food groups. With so many food options available to consumers, it is often difficult to determine the best foods to put on our plates when building a healthy meal. MyPlate is an uncomplicated symbol to help remind people to think about their food choices in order to lead healthier lifestyles. This effort is about more than just giving information; it is a matter of making people understand there are options and practical ways to apply them to their daily lives.…
