Worth The Alert Case
RESOLVEDD Case #20
Worth The Effort?

R – This case deals with a woman, Violet Spear, a junior marketing executive, who in my opinion is being harassed at work. She has repeatedly asked her co-worker, Theo Lucasey, not to make uncalled for remarks about her dress-attire, but to no-avail. So she pursues sexual harassment claims with her company, even though it appears that her chances of seceding in her sexual harassment case seem slime. Violet learns that 67% of women who report cases of sexual harassment end up losing their job in someway, and 9% of the cases of sexual harassment are not stopped.

E –The Principle of "Do No Harm" is a no brainier, I also believe that The Principle of Fidelity, The Principle of Lawfulness, ECI, "The

    (b) The District Court's findings were insufficient to dispose of respondent's "hostile environment" claim. The District Court apparently erroneously believed that a sexual harassment claim will not lie absent an economic effect on the complainant's employment, and erroneously focused on the "voluntariness" of respondent's participation in the claimed sexual episodes. The correct inquiry is whether respondent by her conduct indicated that the alleged sexual advances were unwelcome, not whether her participation in them was voluntary. Pp. 477 U. S. 67-68.…

    The principle I want to focus on is number four, this principle is that nonviolence is a willingness to accept violence if necessary, but never inflict it. I think principle number four is the most important because it is what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for in his peaceful protest and such. He stood for nonviolence and to never inflict violence back in his protests. I think that principle number four is about nonviolence and not inflicting it on anyone even if they inflict it toward you. I think this principle is important because it's what Martin Luther King stood for in his peaceful protest and is what he was known for, his peaceful and nonviolent protest.…

    Michelle Vinson sued her supervisor for sexual harassment because she had been raped by him over a period of 2 years. She argued that having to tolerate forced sex to keep her job was environmental sexual harassment. (Wilma) Men and women differ in their perceptions of sexual harassment. Women believe more behaviors to be harassing than men. Sexual harassment is an ongoing problem in the workplace. An employer who objects to aggressiveness in women but whose positions require that trait places women in intolerable and impermissible catch. A requirement that a man or woman run a gauntlet of sexual abuse in return for the privilege of being allowed to work and make a living can be as demining and disconcerting as the harshest of racial epithets. 44% of women and 19% of men reported having experienced having experienced some form of unwanted sexual attention at work. Studies show that the most prevalent form of sexual harassment involves men harassing women.(Conn)Researchers have argued that sexual harassment occurs because of their low status in labor markets and in occupational structure. Not all sexual interactions are harmful. Workers experience sexual behaviors differently. Some think sexual interactions are enjoyable or fun, while others think they’re…

    Assuming that the reader is a high-ranking executive at a major firm, the author provides the following set of occupational circumstances. First; an employee, Sam, who has been handling the firm’s top account, has handed in his resignation. Second; the client firm, Magnolia Corporation, is headed by CEO, J. W. Crawford who according to Sam, possesses an antiquated mindset and would probably be most receptive to financial suggestions from a male associate. In addition, J. W. has a reputation for objectifying women, including seasoned account executive, Elaine, who experienced his distasteful attitude first-hand in a meeting last year, where J. W. ignored her sound advice and made unprovoked verbal and physical advances toward her. Based on the given turn of events, one must consider the moral obligations toward the three major parties with vested interest in this business relationship: Magnolia CEO, J. W. Crawford, the firm itself, and Elaine.…

    Intent vs. Perception. Antoinette Mayer worked for DigiSys, a multimillion dollar technology company where many of the company’s senior managers were retired military officers. Jay Strong, her boss, became very friendly in an awkward way with Mayer one day where his conversation moved from business topics to more personal conversation. As time progressed, he got “warmer” towards Mayer; seemed to encounter her more in the company cafeteria and requested more of her time under the pretense of gathering updates. After many encounters like this, she decided to do something about it so she went to the Human Resources vice president for assistance. He told her that he didn’t think she had much of a case. The company was full of military types who had not quite got the hang of working with women in the civilian sector. As a black woman, she had done her share of educating and was probably tired of it, but pursuit of an investigation wasn’t worth her career and she should lighten up a little. According to CMU (2008), more than half of US women executives say they have suffered sexual harassment. Harassment results in stress, absenteeism, productivity declines, turnover, and lawsuits. Solutions include raising awareness, providing training, and consistent enforcement of clearly communicated rules and penalties. Murren (2011) states that every place of employment has a different demeanor. Most employees do mesh well together finding their groove over a period of time. There are instances, however, when workplace behavior can get out of hand and be inappropriate, causing a rift between employees. Many companies today hold yearly ethics courses designed to pinpoint an acceptable quality of behavior from their employees and also open up the floor to those who have issues with the company and its policies. Sometimes confronting an issue head on in a supportive environment will help find a positive solution to any issues of harassment or workplace abuse. Harassment…
