Grant Madill worked in a company called Potter & Associates for several years. He started dating a coworker named Jane Barry, who he eventually married. However, in the company’s policy the company does not prohibit dating coworkers, but it does have a policy forbidding married couples from both being employed by the organization. Since Grant married Jane, he clearly breached and violated the company’s policy. The policy specifically states that, if two coworkers at Potter decide to marry, then the less senior of the two will have resign. Therefore under this policy, the management of Potter expected Grant to resign when he and Jane got married, as he had less seniority than Jane. Grant did not want and refused to resign, thereafter being…
The main question here in this case is who is liable, negligent and damages. Deb is driving her car when it is involved in an accident with a car driven by Abe. A few moments after the first crash, a car driven by Ann hits the two cars disabled from the first crash. Cal, a passenger in Abe’s car has a minor injury to his head from the first crash but serious injury to his knees and legs from Ann’s subsequent driving into the first crash. Cal is taken to the hospital where Doctor informs him, correctly, that he will lose both legs unless he consents to an immediate particular type of surgery which may save his legs. Doctor does not inform Cal that this type of surgery, if successful, will mean that his repaired knees will need artificial…
James Michael Reaves case at MPTF is a unique case requiring several fundamental changes in his care. First, is his residency which is currently at The Lodge. Second, is the matter of the lack of respect and treatment. He does not have a physical voice and thus far has not had someone present to communicate for him entirely. I have tried both respectfully and pleasantly, assertively, and even at times pleadingly to all staff and administration only to have his wishes that I am trying to convey and carried out, at best fall on deaf ears.…
Soon after Teresa DeYoung’s husband died, her mother-in-law also died, leaving an inheritance of more than $400,000 for DeYoung’s children. DeYoung hired John Ruggerio, an attorney, to ensure that her children would receive it. Ruggerio advised her to invest the funds in his real estate business. She declined. A few months later, $300,000 of the inheritance was sent to Ruggerio. Without telling DeYoung, he deposited the $300,000 in his account and began to use the funds in his real estate business. Nine months later, $109,000 of the inheritance was sent to Ruggerio. He paid this to DeYoung. She asked about the remaining amount. Ruggerio lied to hide his theft. Unable to access these funds, DeYoung’s children changed their college plans to attend less expensive institutions. Nearly three years later, DeYoung learned the truth. Can she bring a suit against Ruggerio? If so, on what ground? If not, why not? Did Ruggerio violate any standard of professional ethics? Discuss. [DeYoung v. Ruggerio, 185 Vt. 267, 971 A. 2d 627 (2009)]…
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.…
The key parties of this situation would be Stewart and myself. Even though I think telling Stewart about Waksal is unethical, following Baconivic’s orders and telling her would put her at an advantage because she would be able to sell her ImClone stocks before the rest of the shareholders could. Even though she could use the Waksal information for her advantage, she would be putting herself in jeopardy with the law. Following Baconivic’s orders would also make me look better in front of him and he could possibly help me get a higher positioned job in the future. For myself, if I know telling Stewart is unethical and I still do it, I am going against my own moral values. By doing so, I am complying with Albert Carr’s way of thinking about business and personal ethics being separate. I would be complying with Carr’s thinking because I would be following Baconivic’s orders even though it goes against my own values. If I don’t listen to Baconivic, I could risk losing my job at the company. By doing so, it could put a halt in my career.…
In Michael Waters’ poem, “The Mystery of the Caves”, two stories are told: one of a boy lost in a cave, and one of the narrator’s household of domestic violence. The narrator submerges themself in the story of the lost boy, trying to escape from the reality of their home. Through ambiguity of language, Michael Waters’ use of images and symbols blurs the lines between the two stories, and ultimately tells a tale of of how a failed mission can cause anguish within an individual.…
Given the situation with Alison and AlphaSoft Corporation, I would say that the course of action that will do the most good and the least amount of harm is to let Alison continue with her current position and positively influence her to continue her education and complete her MBA. Alison was hired into a position that did not require an MBA and moved up the ranks with hard work and her leadership has positively and financially benefitted the company. Badaracco (2002) quotes the famous utilitarian John Stuart Mill who once said “The essence of responsible behavior is doing whatever promotes the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people”. The best thing to do to make the greatest number of people happy is to maintain the status quo of sorts and leave everything as it is. It cannot be said that Alison did not earn her position.…

By this time, Maria had not only committed a felony crime, she also destroyed her credibility as a professional accountant and in her words, her life.…

Shirley was the manager of new products division at an e-commerce company. She and Maggie, one of her team members, interviewed Jesse for a new position on their project team.
