The greater Good
During one of the group meetings, we had a very heated discussion about the Harassment Case. At the begin gin I thought that we should fire them both. The reason behind that was the fact that the company had very strict rules about cases like this, but at the same time we wanted to maintain or credibility in recruiting new employees and to prevent further fraud. But our decision was to fire Ted and to issue a written warning to Chris. This came from the fact that we wanted to prevent the possibility of Harassed females being afraid to speak out in the future in fear of similar circumstances. We thought that fraud can be prevented by issuing a more strict policy about reviewing new application in the future.

Osamah, I was wondering what your reasoning for firing the manager? I understand your concern for the future however I just don't feel we had enough information to prove Ted actually sexually harrased Chris. I think maybe people read into this too much. Sort of like the lecture from that guy last week in class. When he gave us that test many people read too far into the situtation. In my group we decided to give them written warnings. Our reasoning was there was no evidence of the harrasment. If Chris lied on her resume don't you think its possible for her to lie about the case on Ted? We also agreed that in the future we need to research the future employees' to avoid this problem.
