Shroder Case
1. Discuss the implications and problems that may occur in the office.
There are many implications and problems that may occur in this office scenario. One of them is the main dangerous one, the affair between Charlie and Lucy becoming public. Another problem could be Lucy harassing and bullying Sally since she is jealous of her. Lucy also will not promote Patti into Charlie’s position so she can continue her affair with Charlie. Another problem that could arise is Schroder’s stocking behavior getting out of control and trying to get Linus fired on the bases that he isn’t distributing his designs well, since he likes Sally and thinks she likes Linus. Sally can file a harassment lawsuit against Schroder.

The company would not get good exposure and other companies working with them will probably not continue using them because its hard to trust a company that cant even control their own issues.
3. How does the human resource department handle some of the possible problems?
Human resources can handle this problem in a few ways. One thing they can do is implement a policy that there are no romantic relationships between employee members. Another thing they can do is send out a memo stating how there will be no toleration of any type of harassment.
4. What about harassment, sexual harassment?
There are two types of harassment going on. Lucy is probably harassing/bullying Sally constantly and making her life miserable because of her jealousy. Also, Schroder can be found guilty of sexual harassment because of the stocking behavior he is showing.
5. Should companies allow dating & marriage between employees?
I feel companies should not allow dating and marriage between employees. It is a big distraction and if it doesn’t work out between the two there will be a lot of tension and awkwardness. It is better to avoid it completely and not allow it.
