Wal-Mart's Ethical Ethics In The Workplace

Organizational Behavior Issues in Engstrom Auto Mirror Plant Organizational issues Engstrom Auto Mirror Plant faces multiple quandaries associated with human behavior. Workers feel unappreciated as an integral part of the company, disposable and insignificant. Suspicion about bonus calculations, lack of transparency, job insecurity, and perceptions of inequitableness in the payment scheme have instigated uncertainty and open rebellion against the company. One of the core problems at the organization is low productivity.

Racial profiling is to suspect someone of something (usually negative) due to the color of their skin. It is frowned upon by many but sometimes it is a necessary evil in the world of business. When running a business, all that matters is the BUSINESS.

In this particular case, the organizational culture at Cole National Group was poor causing internal issue, which eventually blended over and caused poor exterior culture through this court case. One of the first things I noted was the lack of communication between management and the employees where policy and procedure for advancement and pay were concerned. Additionally if a Cole National Group is going to do performance reports, they should be part of the deciding factor in advancement, promotions, extra training, company benefits, and pay increases. Finally rewarding individuals for poor or average performance with pay raises and promotions sets a poor standard for the company and eventually will lead to losing knowledge workers and eventually customers.

Big name corporations, such as Walmart, have recently been under fire for the mistreatment of their employees. Companies have always been criticized for caring more about money and making a profit than the well being of their workers. They fire workers due to lack of productivity, not thinking twice about the situation that the employee is in. In Bartleby, The Scrivener: A Story Of Wall-Street by Herman Melville, the lawyer, who is the narrator of the story, shows pity and sympathy for one of his workers, Bartleby. Melville creates a story that shows that bosses can be nice and care for the well being of their workers.

If a bully spread rumors about you, it has negative effects on you. Bullies may say something about how you look and how ugly you are to make them look cool or boost their ego. Victims who have low self-esteem may feel like they don’t belong to our society, which is not true. No one should ever feel this way. Even though, they may try to look confident in front of the bullies, on the inside they are really hurting.

The business has all the control. They can set the price as high as they want since they have no competitors, give the workers low wedges, more work time, and have poor working conditions. I believe that the government should break up Standard Oil’s monopoly. A monopoly is bad for the economy. A business has control of many other companies.

In John Steinbecks novel In Dubious Battle, there was enormous power struggle between the owners and the very weak workers. The owners were much more prestigious and feared, but when the workers were pushed to their limits they did indeed use the power that was available to them in the means of the strike. The pickers could not give into the demands of the owners because this would have defeated their purpose of the strike. On the other hand the Growers Association could not give into the pickers because they believed that this would have cost them to much money and made them out to be viewed as weak. This stubbornness of both sides caused a long and deadly strike that could have been

Americans believed that customs officials were not treating them fairly, for multiple reasons. First, Americans believed that the customs officials were corrupt. They also treated smugglers and honest tradesmen alike. In addition, Americans felt that they shouldn’t pay taxes, or labor fees, as long as they did not have a direct representative in Parliament. This, along with the entitlement that customs officials received, drove honest merchants, seamen, dockworker, and tradesmen to hate them.

This is another form of unethical behaviour as they are misleading the consumer into thinking their product is quality through false advertising. This incident is still creating a huge impact on the Toyota brand and can have an even greater impact on the productivity and income of this business. The public has already acknowledged Toyota’s dishonesty and unethical practices and has already begun to complain and sue them. Customers will avoid their vehicles as they are concerned about their safety and they have realized that Toyota hasn’t been offering them the aspect of safety at all. (Gerri. 2013.)

This really means that Apple has not impose its ethical conduct thoroughly throughout the company. Therefore. according to multiple popular news sources, Apple does not really present as a very ethical corporation. This is on a level understandable providing the number of haters and competitors Apple has that may have had played a hand in exposing these scandals to the public. However, Apple is to blame for such appalling business conduct and ignorance in their monitoring not only Apple premises but also with

By Volkswagens falsifying and cheating pollution test by installing “defeat devices” to make their vehicles appear cleaner than they were, they’re now viewed by the public as liars and lose trust from consumers and stakeholders. The created meaning by Volkswagen actions is, they’re a fraudulent organization, which cares more about making money than it does about its stakeholders and safety of consumers. Volkswagen also goes against its huge marketing campaign trumpeting its diesel cars’ low emissions and co create the meaning of its cars not being environmental friendly. I feel the CEO of Volkswagen should issue a public apology owning up to their wrongdoings because a lot of consumers may feel duped. Rhetorically this establishes dialogue

Guest worker’s programs are flawed because imported workers can be exploited by employers. The workers that are brought into the country cannot change jobs as that would break their contracts, making them illegals. The workers that are unfortunate to be working for an employer that would use the guest worker program’s limitations to their advantage would find themselves trapped into an unfair work relationship. With the entrapment of the imported workers, these employers cheat their employees with low wages, cruel treatment, long hours, et cetera. The imported workers would have no choice but to endure their jobs work condition because if they left their position, they’d be branded an illegal immigrant who would be deported for breaking their contract.
