Based on the legal encounter, it seems as if the unsatisfactory performance/corrective action plan was not followed in this case. Pat was not put on a corrective action plan and he was not explained what things were not working out. We are unaware of his job performance since he was not put on a corrective action plan and it seems as if his job performance was not mentioned during his termination meeting with his supervisor. Due to Pat being an at-will employee, he can be terminated at any time for any legal reason. If NewCorp is stating that his job performance was unsatisfactory, it must be documented.
Robin’s Wood, Inc identified Anthony Monforte as its employee who did the actual painting of the steps. The property owners also alluded to the fact that they would contact Montforte and provide diligent attempts to have him appear in court. Court hearings were reset twice due to failure of producing Monforte or a representative in court. This occurred even after The Supreme Court ordered they provide someone within 30 days. On August 18, 2004, the plaintiff moved to strike the defendant's answer based upon the defendant's failure to produce a representative.
In a discrimination case, the employee provides the evidence that Cost Club acted discriminatorily and then Cost Club will show to be false the claim by showing the reasons for the downsizing and the specific termination of the last hired first fired action. Developing a written policy before the time of the layoff would explain to employees why the downsizing has to occur and why the three positions were eliminated. With the documentation of the employees selected and reasons of the specific selection, criteria (seniority) will reveal its non- biased resolution. For instance, seniority is a legitimate criterion however age is discrimination. Cost Club should very careful when considering attendance as a criterion with Diane.
These prison guards claimed that they would have never known they could be capable of such aggressive and cruel behavior. They claimed that their sense of morals would normally prevent them from such behavior. However, through cognitive dissonance, their change of environment challenged their initial set of morals. When assigned these new roles, the
Legal Encounter 1: Pat Grey was hired to be a manager for our company NewCorp. Several months into the job he was discharged by his supervisor without any indication and was told “things did not seem to be working out”. Also, Pat was given a 30 days severance package. Every employee that is hired by NewCorp is given a Personnel Manuel about policies and procedures. This manual when received from us builds an “implied contract” between the employer and employee.
c) I don’t believe my organization complies with all of the requirements because I don’t work so this does not apply. d) No one is responsible in my organization to make sure these compliance laws are met because once again I do not work so this does not apply.

When a resignation is received, HR should take reasonable steps to do an outtake interview with the employee to find out why they are leaving and whether the company can take steps to improve the work environment. These outtake interviews should be kept in company records should a complaint arise, so that it can be demonstrated that the company did not have the requisite intent to constructive discharge employees. Finally, the company should make it a policy to address all employee complaints. This will not only foster better communication with employees, but allow the company to demonstrate that it has not constructive discharged an
However, the School Board meeting during which Pat expressed unpopular opinion falls outside the public policy spectrum. Furthermore, the company’s personnel manual outlines procedures to deal with “unsatisfied employees.” Pat does not meet the requirement of unsatisfied employee either as there were no complaints about his performance. Pat signed an at-will employment with the employer, thus negating any provisions in the employee manual. If Pat had relocated based on the promise of the employer that he had a secured job for a period of time, he would have a case of breach of contract. This is not the case.

One day the lawyer asks Bartleby to proof a paper for him and the response of Bartleby was “I would prefer not to”. With a response like this you would think that the lawyer would have fired him right away. Instead he finds someone else to do it. To me this was a mistake that he made and would regret later on in the story. The lawyer doesn’t think that Bartleby response was wrong in fact he thinks that it was in fact innocent.
