Assignment 3
Due 3/14
Part 1
First, review the following video:
Now, review the following scenario (which can be an example of other situations):
Donald is a Team Leader at TelephonUs Inc., a local direct sales company. His team has been assigned to handle recruitment via telephone for another direct sales company. Because of this, his job now mainly consists of ascertaining that his Customer Service Representatives are able to meet their team’s quota for daily calls. A team member’s failure to meet quota is automatically his failure, too.
He has observed in the past year that two of his subordinates, Pam and Jim, seem to be having a budding romantic relationship. Though he didn’t give much thought to it at first, in the past two months Donald has become increasingly concerned about them as he observes Jim’s performance degrading. He looks at their logs and notices that many leads which were supposed to be Jim’s somehow ended up becoming Pam’s. This is alarming for Donald, because Jim’s failure as a Customer Service Representative reflects poorly on Donald’s capability as Team Leader.
Bothered by this, Donald asks Bernadette, a Training and Development Officer with the HRMD, about the company’s policy on office romances. “We don’t allow them because we want to avoid potential sexual harassment suits. Why do you ask?” Bernadette responds.
“I just noticed Jim and Pam are —“, says Donald.
Bernadette responds….”Oh! They were dating even before they joined the company. Just don’t pay attention to it. They’re both consenting adults and it’s not like he’s her boss or she’s his boss. Believe me, Donald, it’s harmless.”
Now, let’s discuss….. what are your thoughts on the following, taking into account our readings and the video on Moral Muteness:
Should Donald take Bernadette’s advice and turn a blind eye to the situation, or should he intervene?
Think of a time when you did speak up about something that conflicted with your values. What motivated you to speak up? It often takes courage to speak up; what enabled you to have the courage to speak up?
