Jonah Creighton
After reading the Jonah Creighton Case for class recently, I was struck by a strong feeling of obviousness. I feel as though, after much discussion and deliberation, matters of discrimination at the workplace can no longer be considered complicated. Because of legal liability and social acceptability, it is hard for me to consider this issue as a point of doubt. It was apparent to Jonah that this occurrence concerning Martin Banks was inappropriate. The next step for any employee, especially one in a subordinate position, is a matter of personal discretion. Jonah's decision to leave the company was his choice, over trying to change the company, or submit his superior to legal litigation. I feel as though in any situation, this will be the result. After the initial recognition and attempt at correction through his advisors, and seeing no immediate result, the choice will always be of appropriateness to the individual.
