DS 3

Which Employee Should Be Terminated?

The case used in this week’s Discussion will provide an awareness of the difficulties and possible criteria that a manager may use in making termination decisions.

For this week’s Discussion:

• Read “Exercise: Which Employee Should Be Terminated?” on pages 91–92 of Nkomo, Fottler, and McAfee.
• Locate at least one external resource from the Walden Library or the Internet to aid you in making a decision in the case.  
• Select one employee from the case to be terminated.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 the name of the employee you have chosen to dismiss and a substantive explanation (at least 150 words) why you have chosen to dismiss the employee. Within your explanation, identify the equal opportunity laws involved in the case, and address how they impacted your decision. Explain the legal issues involved in the case and how they impacted your decision. Justify your choice with specific citations from the Learning Resources and any additional sources.
