Business Ethics

Case 1 :

1. Was the suspension fair?

The suspension  was fair. Joan has acted  improperly many  a  time. Joan has not arranged alternatives for repeated personal problems.

THE  SUSPENSION   WAS  FAIR,  AS JOAN  HAS  REPEATED  THE  OFFENCE  ONCE  AGAIN

2. Did Joan act responsibly?

joan has  not acted  responsibily many   a  time.

JOAN  DID  ACT  RIGHTLY, BUT  WAS  NOT  CONVINCING.

3. Should she be fired?

Her baby sitter problems are not her employer's problems.

Yes she should be fired.

She can protest all she wants, no recourse. It is her Inability to show up for work!

____________________________

Yes, she apparently did nothing to mitigate the disruption to her employer. After numerous warnings, including one that stated in writing that future absences might result in termination ... she failed to take steps necessary to be available for work.

She could have lined up alternate sitters, but she did not.

She could have arranged for coverage for her shift, she did not do that either.

She should be fired for cause, meaning she would not qualify for unemployment in most states.

Did sylvia point out at the time that maybe joan could swap shifts with another employee or did she bring this up after the fact? Does sylvia have children? Does she know how hard it is to find a sitter last minute? Does sylvia understand as a mother joans first priorityare her children? Parents have rights in the work place too. No i dont think she should be fired and im sure there are laws that could make doing so illegal in certain situations

this  is  a  commercial  business  house  , who  have  a  responsibility  to  the  customers  and  stakeholders. Hence joan should be  fired.

JOAN’S  SUSPENSION  WAS  THE  RIGHT  APPROACH  AND  NOT  OUTRIGHT  FIRING  FROM  THE  JOB.

Case 2 :

1) Should you tell your customers?

There  is  no  need  to  tell the  customers , as...
