You Can’t Fire Me The following paragraphs will answer the questions of how the author would handle themselves after the situation in “You Can’t Fire Me”. The paper will further discuss if the author believes the regional Human Resources (HR) manager handled the matter in an ethical manner, and why or why not. The first matter that will be discussed is how the author would handle themselves after Tom was rehired by the company, and put into another regional position. In the ethical situation Norman Blankenship was put in between Tom Serinsky, one of his section bosses, and the HR manager, I believe Norman handled himself in the way Norman believed to be ethically correct. Which should be what drives any person to make a good ethical decision. …show more content…

I am assuming he has enjoyed the culture of the company to stay with them for such an extended length of time. If I were Norman, I would be confident in my own actions. I realized there was an issue and I investigated to see if the issue was accurate, and when I found that there was an issue, I addressed it head on (he led with corporate social responsibility (CSR) (Mondy, 2016, p. 25). I set an example for others in the department that unethical behavior will not be tolerated. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:10-12). This action not only protects the integrity of the company, but it protects the safety of other employees, as well (another example of CSR) (Mondy, 2016, p. …show more content…

According to Mondy (2016), some people believe that the HR department is responsible for creating the company ethical culture. In this example, the HR manager did not legally do anything wrong, because Tom Serinsky, was not legally doing anything wrong. However, Tom’s actions of sleeping on the job and potentially putting others life’s at risk was unethical. I believe the HR manager made many poor choices in this scenario, but the one decision that I believe made her decision unethical is that she did not treat Serinsky as she would have treated any other employee at the company. If Serinsky’s actions were breaking “official” company rules, and any other person would have been fired, it is irrelevant who his family or friends

    As in Buck, when the plaintiff was terminated from his management position and offered a lower role in the company, here Chigurh was given the ultimatum to take an inferior position or quit. In Buck, the Court cautioned becoming involved in day-to-day business decisions and that employers hold more discretion in terminating high level employees. The McConkey Court held, “where the complaining employee is in an executive position, makes top level policy and strategic decisions, and great trust is placed in his judgment, courts must be cautious in second guessing employment decisions.” McConkey, ¶ 33. This decision gives a spot on interpretation of Chigurh’s former duties, and it is likely that the court will determine Chigurh was let go for a legitimate business

  • Ethics Case Study: Hogtown Community Care Corp.

    Ethics can be defined as “the critical, structured examination of how individuals and institutions should behave when their actions affect others”1. In the case regarding the Hogtown Community Care Corp (HCCC), Rita the nursing assistant went against the law as well as an ethical nursing standard when she was sued for battery for physically abusing patients. HCCC will be held vicariously liable for Rita’s tort of battery because it was committed inside of the employment relationship, and she was a legal employee with the nursing home2. HCCC’s legal result of being held vicariously liable is in fact ethical, in regards to the second type of ethical reasoning of fairness/justice3.

    There one not moment when Mr. Lumbergh was actually a decent human being. I do not think that is ethical at all to have a manager treat its employees in such a poor manner. Each employee was disposable in his eyes. He harassed some of the employees and thoroughly enjoyed making them feel bad. No one would say or do anything about this behavior they honestly just watched it happen.

Despite the fact that his choice was deemed unethical, it could still be justified from other perspectives.

    Furthermore, it is the HR professionals duty to make sure the management team is fully aware on how to conduct business within the guidelines because in some cases knowingly or unknowingly laws can be broken and grave consequences will follow in suit. When we tie in the case of St. Mary's Honor Center v. Hicks legal risk management comes into play. I support the ideal that some risk management cannot be avoided by leadership and some risk taking may play a crucial role in the continuance of an organization. Although there are certain lines you should not cross and being able to cover your tracks are very important. In this case referenced, St. Mary's gave evidence as to how they made adverse employment decisions, but in the manner of doing so raised some red flags that enabled Hicks to have the opportunity for the case to eventually be heard in Supreme Court.

    As a result, the corporate players, practitioners, and scholars in the ethical field have helped to shape, and communicate ethical behavior at the work place (Terris, 2005, p.48). Mechanisms such as punishment and reward systems have been historically used to inspire ethical behavior, and acceptable group behavior norms amongst employees at the work place (Mayer et al., 2012). In the event that unethical behaviors become part of an organization’s group norms, a successive sequence of ethical problems is likely to follow. This arises from the fact that employees in the organization will lack insightful directive from their leaders, and therefore pursue the unethical behavior without fear of reprimand. Importantly, the organization has to continually consider coming up with long-term ethical solutions to such oversights to keep employees from engaging in unethical
