1. From an ethical standpoint, how would you evaluate the merits of Mr. Garbo’s employing Amber? Discuss.

Although Mr. Garbo employed Amber is building more future business with Amber’s father company, but he made several mistakes. Specifically, Mr. Garbo was wrong for paying Amber much than she deserved based on her experience and qualifications, and he was wrong when ignoring her insubordination and low quality work. From this case study. Amber knows the reason she was hired was not because of her experience and knowledge, therefore, she become lazy and not interested in the work. However, if Mr. Garbo keeps ignoring other workers feeling and what Amber’s doing, the other employee will lose their enthusiasm, and not working hard as much as Amber does. Moreover, Mr. Garbo runs the risk of losing quality employees who are unwilling to work in that environment.

2. Now that she is employed, what course would you follow to address her on the job behavior?

I think a more direct approach need to be taken. The department manager should have a meeting with Amber and the president to discuss all of the issues at hand as well as the limitations of her father’s connections in providing job security. If it is not possible to have a meeting with the president present. The meeting should be had with Amber informing her of her wrong doings and the limits of her connections. Moreover, Amber should be informed that the president will be informed of the meeting and her behavior that lead to the meeting.
