I am opposed to companies hiring applicants based on their physical appearances in part because hiring good looking people is an advantage to the company, it shows how people are treated differently based on their appearance.To illustrate, Mr. Serrano, a former Abercrombie and Fitch employee emphasizes that, “We were supposed to approach someone in the mall who we think will look attractive in our store.” (p2). Consequently, this means that someone who is highly qualified, with past experience, might not get the job because they aren’t what is considered experience, and possibly underqualified will get the same job because they fit the criteria. This is an accurate representation of discrimination. The article also represents a
What Meets the Eye There are many understandings people have in this society. There are individuals that think different about others by reading Daniel Akst’s essay I got the chance to understand the point of view how others have different perspectives of others have principles and expectations. Many people worry about how they look. Akst talks about how researchers have observations on how other people dress instead of focusing on the individual personality. He talks about appearances on what a person thinks about another also he mention examples how man and women dresses professional in offices they want to impress people.
While any company wants to employ exceptionally quality minded employees they are also faced with the fact that they are less experienced than the acceptable quality workforce. With the strong cultural value of the company I would recommend targeting the workforce that has acceptable quality focus. These type employees will grow in the company to a higher quality level
This man’s job performance is not enough to concern you for the first couple months, but he begins slacking as time goes one. Now what if you were to hire the better man for the job? Remember, with different people come different thinking processes and ideas. While a top company in a particular field, with a no visible tattoo policy, may sit in their conference room brainstorming ideas of a solution for a major problem with a loss of profits. With all of the ideas coming in, no one has an idea that works to solve their problem.
9. The Wall Street Journal did not publish the evidence by Markopolos because then people would take it out on them because they did not do the investigation and its because of them they lost there money. 10. I feel that the SEC did not do their job because they should have at least see these transactions and they should have caught him before everyone lost their money. Just because Madoff had good connections with the SEC they still have done some sort of an investigation and at least say they did not see anything than just ignore it because now people are mad at the
However, given the fact that she is a female may be somewhat of a constraint. Females, generally speaking, are more nurturing and don’t really share that ‘tough love’ practice that males do. This may be a reason why she would not want to penalize the obese and smokers. Pressey would love to see a positive change for these people and would like to motivate them to do so. On the other hand, some people feel that this topic should not even exist as it is too intrusive into an employee’s personal life.
There is no training program for them that state any reasons why the culture of the company relies on customer satisfaction. So in this case some employees may feel resentment for having to put so much effort into making their customer happy. For instance, some Nordstrom employees may feel that it is too difficult to meet the needs of some of their customers. Employees are expected to go out of their way, even to work long hours or beyond their hours to meet their customers’ needs, but they do not get compensated for any overtime. The environment for this employee could be very stressful and cause them to not want to put much effort into sales.
Harvard’s president suggested that there appeared to him and to many others to be a strong correlation between women in high positions and the fact that they were single and/or childless. He did not offer any research, but this was an informal talk and it is hardly surprising that Summers did not simply cite research studies to this particular audience. He also suggests that married men have historically been more willing to work long hours than married women and that certain social factors may discourage women from pursuing these types of careers. Tong responds by stating that 80 hour work weeks are not necessary to achieve academic excellence and that even if women did work 80 hours per week they would not earn as much. Ironically, she is admitting Summers’ first point by herself implying that even she does not want to work 80 hours and she further argues that women are discouraged from making these time commitments because of discrimination in terms of earnings.
When we talk about conditions and the environment in the work place and in society in general there is one issue that we can not fail to see, which is the fact of the difference between men and women in many aspects, there is an issue that some people tend to believe, that there is no fairness between male and females competing for a position or a job in organizations. Then questions take place in peoples mind; is it fair that men make more money than women do, even though they both have the same qualifications? Or is it possible that women are less likely than men to get promoted? Is there a chance that women start at lower positions in the work place than men do? Everyone is entitled to have an opinion but discrimination in the work place
Due to the physical appearance, Asian in the media was always strange and loathsome. The appreciation of the beauty in the mainstream media couldn’t rank the Asian, especially Asian men, among the top. The media liked to remake the exterior of Asian to be more fashion and cool to cover the race identity. In the video She bangs (William Huang), Huang was primped as a funnyman, so he complained that he wanted to be himself. Another case about Asian was Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirts with the logo “Two Wongs make it White” and the Two Wongs implied the yellow face working in laundry as cheap labors.
