Dress Code Ethics Case Study
18-3 The dress code used in this scenario was discriminatory. The reason that made it biased was that there were two dress codes for men and women. A dress code that is not discriminatory is one that is same for members of both genders. On the other hand, the motive for the dress code was to distinguish men from women. That act of distinguishing men from women was discriminatory in nature, and it went against the dress code ethics. The motive for distinguishing men from women is not said. Both men and women were doing the same type of job; it, therefore, means that there was no need for distinguishing them. Telling women to wear smocks and men not to wear it was discriminatory in nature. Circumstances that would allow workers to wear different

    Nike Ethics Case Study

    For Nike, labor and human rights continues to be a top priority and corporate concern. Ethics is essential in crisis communication. Nike’s sweatshop labor crisis demonstrates the importance of ethics. To defend its practices and public reputation during this crisis, Nike responded to allegations in ethical ways, employing truthfulness and transparency, disclosing their corporate social responsibility statements, including a fair employee treatment and a labor report, and commissioning external investigations for the company’s foreign workers (Kim, 2015). Nike’s response is an example of “contingency thinking” (Schermerhorn et al., 2012) and resulted in the company developing its own code of conduct. Eventually, Nike’s ethical…

    Ethics Case Study

    Jerry’s medical training does not qualify him to issue the refill order. The patient’s physician is the one who needs to determine whether or not the patient should have a prescription of Valium issued for his flight or not. Jerry’s medical training does not qualify him to issue any prescription to any patient regardless of what it is and who it is for. If a patient’s prescription request was for control of high blood pressure that the patient critically needed on a daily basis Jerry would still not have the professional credentials to allow him to issue the prescription orders. If faced with such a scenario Jerry should explain to the patient that he does not have the right to issue a prescription of any kind but that he would make it his first priority to tell the receptionist when he or she returned from his or her lunch break.…

    Dress Room Policy

    At Marshalls there is a certain way to try your clothes on, probably different from other places. Some people say it is a good idea to have a strict policy in the dressing room while others think it’s a waste of time standing in line in order to enter the dress room with a tag.

It is the dress room associates’ responsibility to make sure the number of items that enters the dress room comes out.

    Oiler/Winn-Dixie Case

    Peter Oiler’s termination from his job by the Winn-Dixie Corporation was an outright and blatant violation of his employee rights. No company or organization is allowed to discriminate against an individual on the basis of sexual orientation and they are most certainly not allowed to discriminate against an employee due to the way he/she decides to dress. This decision would be akin to firing a woman truck driver for wearing a flannel shirt and a pair of jeans while off-duty; while this would be unheard of, the decision to fire Oiler based on his choice of wardrobe while off the job is absurd and completely unfounded. Oiler had a spotless record during his numerous years working for Winn-Dixie; he was basically the perfect employee and to violate an individual’s employee rights and invade his privacy as the company did exhibits a degree of narrow-mindedness and bigotry which is reminiscent of the Dark Ages. It would be easier to understand this decision, if Oiler had been dressing this way on the job due to the fact that numerous organizations must enforce particular dress-codes however; even if this were the case, Oiler would have been given a warning (by most other companies) and offered the chance to “conform” to policies, but the decision to fire him based on his behavior off the job is a major violation of numerous federal and state laws as well as his personal rights.…
