Overall, I think filling the safety complaints was a great choice and that he did the right thing in doing that. The company violated OSHA and didn't take the complaints seriously. They also violated the employee by not acting on a serious issue. The courts verdict would reflect my job in this case because I would feel as If I didn't protect the employee and that I could of prevented the lawsuit. If I were a human resource manager, I would be ashamed and I would feel like I didn't do my job, and that I just ignored a safety issue that was serious.
Also, inhaling fine wood dust can create respiratory illnesses. Employees have complained over the years about the dust, but the employer still has not created a method to frequently clean the factory. One day Karen, a co-worker, tells you that while she was operating her machine she noticed three quick sparks in the air near her work station. Karen informed her Section Manager about this incident, but the response was that she shouldn’t worry about it. She is now scared that the factory may explode at any moment.
-The project has been given a deadline of ten weeks, with Rankin and his 5-member team in charge of technical implementation. -Bob Finley had a confrontation with Lynn Johnston, resulting in the two avoiding each other during the middle of the project. -Midway through the project, Team member Sally Phillips left the company for better prospects. -Rankin manages his employees simply by telling them his expectations, and only tries justifies the long hours and lack of sleep by telling them that he expects no more of them than he does of himself. Assumptions • Mike Frazer wants the system implemented in 10 weeks because he views it as the answer to the company’s lackluster follow up sales.
A lot of them speak negatively about Kim, I think | |that part of this is because she is from another culture and they do not like that change.

This reflects a utilitarian stand-point because the wood dust is a serious problem that could lead to serious injury or worse for every member of the company. By reporting this to OSHA it may lead to fines and consequences for my employer and others at the managerial level but not reporting this could lead to the end of every employee. The reason I chose to notify OSHA is because they are a neutral 3rd party whose only role is to ensure the safety and security in an occupational setting along with responding to allegations against the aforementioned employer. OSHA themselves is basically the top-notch you can get to in regard to employee safety, they have governmental backing and an obligation to come check out an allegation and can put up further road blocks for companies if they don’t comply. I am concerned that even the owner doesn’t care enough to ensure the safety and well-being of his employees as he said, “You cannot prove that there is an explosion hazard here.
When Bradford arrived back onboard, he learned of the death of his wife, Dorothy. The day after he had embarked with the exploring party, Dorothy slipped over the side of the Mayflower and drowned. Many historians, including Nathaniel Philbrick and Gary Schmidt, suggest that Dorothy may have committed suicide due to despair over her separation from her only son and fear of settling in a dangerous wilderness. Bradford did not write about her death in his journal, and there are no indications that Bradford ever spoke of her again. Some, including historian Kieran Doherty, suggest that Bradford's silence on the subject is an indication of his purported shame over her suicide.
Why is the lawyer so concerned about the change in his behavior? The lawyer does not even want to fire Bartleby even wants to keep him on the staff. I researched this information further to find out, why was the lawyer keeping him on staff if he was not doing his job?

Describe how own values, belief systems and experiences may affect working practice (1.1.4) Value is how much you respect yourself as an individual. If you don't have any values or respect then the people at the work place won't respect you at all causing you or any person to feel uncomfortable and work won't get done because there is no confidence.
They even thought that I was high and gone off of a top notch drug. Some even asked if I could supply them with some of the “products”. In a speech Dr. King quoted, “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” The biggest problem I had out of my friends that Thursday though, was not saying anything to one of them about bullying and talking down on this guy that we did not even know. I felt like I was the one bullying him because I did not say or do anything about it. I just
Unfortunately, his believe was not supported by the others in the office. On the same time, Suzanne Clammer who was the executive director and also head of the office agree between both sides of view.
