Choose Your Adventure Mitra, Sales Associate at Gap, feels she is not being treated fairly by her manager, Amanda. She feels Amanda favors Thomas, another Sales Associate. Thomas gets the best hours, never has to do the grunt work and seems to always have Friday and Saturday nights off. Mitra saw pictures on Instagram of Thomas and Amanda at several parties the previous weekend. Mitra is furious, having confirmed that they have some sort of relationship going on which is why Thomas is getting the better hours and work duties. Mitra then: 1. Takes a screen shot of the photos of Thomas and Amanda and posts to her own Instragram. 2. Does nothing. 3. Calls her HR manager the following day to report the suspected relationship and the unfair treatment.
Ethical Dilemma Melanie, a high profile “up and coming” designer, was hired five months ago to design accessories for Banana Republic. Sarah, her assistant noticed that Melanie did not disclose her jewelry business on the required COBC paperwork. Sarah knows Melanie creates one-of-a-kind pieces and sells them online, some pieces for over $200 each. Sarah thinks Melanie should have disclosed the jewelry business on the required COBC paperwork and is uncomfortable with the lack of disclosure. She tells her co-worker, Robert, about it over a casual lunch. Robert tells Sarah to be careful because she wouldn’t want to lose her job if Melanie finds out it was Sarah who spoke up. What should each of these employees do? • Group 1 = Melanie • Group 2 = Sarah • Group 3 = Robert
