Chapter 8
You are the manager of a small restaurant owned by a local family. The restaurant is very much in the mold of Hooter's, where virtually all of the servers are female and scantily clad. But you have just read that, following a suit brought by EEOC against Hooters for sex discrimination against men, Hooter's agreed to settle the case in part by agreeing to hire males to work as servers. Since your restaurant is very similar to the Hooter's brand, hiring only women as servers, you can see that you have a problem. What would you do.
(This is a slightly tongue-in-cheek situation calling for affirmative action, and should bring a chuckle as you work through it. First, it is important to recognize the need to take the three steps necessary to an affirmative action plan which appear on the slide entitled, "Drafting Affirmative Action Plans,". Assuming you concluded that affirmative action is necessary, you should suggest a viable plan to hire more male wait staff.)
Chapter 9.You are the HR manager of a high technology firm that has grown significantly in recent months. One recent hire was the breakthrough, a bio-engineer who seems to have a creative genius for manipulating living organisms to enable them to clean up toxins. But a chemist in his department has been harassing the bio-engineer, you suspect because of the bio-engineer's sexual orientation. The chemist is a big fellow who has previously made disparaging remarks about gay people. The bio-engineer has not complained to you, but others have on his behalf. What would you do?(In responding to this situation you should recognize that there is no federal protection for gay workers, although there may be in the city or state where the facility is located. Nevertheless, both pragmatism and ethics would counsel taking action to stop the harassment. Various methods may be proposed for doing this, including talking to the chemist and to the bio-engineer.
Chapter 10
You own a small chocolate shop in the suburbs of San Francisco, and business has been good, despite the downturn in the economy. One of your sales people who works behind the counter just returned from a religious retreat, and by her own account, has been "transformed." She now so vehemently opposes gays and gay marriage that she refuses to serve gay or lesbian clients. She refuses to serve anyone she thinks "looks gay." As a business owner, your practice has been to serve every customer, unless the customer is unruly. What would you do?
Chapter 11
You are the HR Manager for your firm. One of your employees is bipolar, and takes medication for the condition. Recently, your firm's prescription provider was changed, with the result that this employee's medication was no longer available, and a generic was substituted. But you notice that the employee is having difficulty. Increasingly, he is subject to emotional outbursts, both high and low, which are affecting his work, and the work of those around him. What would you do?
