Question

Answer: Surpassing the company policies particularly relating to the worker’s right is ethically wrong. It is ethically desirable that the company needs to first make sure that the employee has committed the offense or not. Therefore as Molly I will refuse the Belcher’s instruction and will follow what is mentioned in the company’s policy. Following the instructions by Belcher will result in violation of company’s norms and also ethical norms. Apart from this if this action is taken then the worker may also take the company to court for the unfair dismissal.

It's Tony Belcher, hotel manager for the Seacoast Pines. There is a big convention in the hotel, the Western Regional Used Automobile Dealers Association (UADA). They have been holding their annual convention at the hotel for the past. 12 years and theirs is one of the biggest and most profitable conventions held at the property. Belcher tells Galloway that he has just gotten off the phone with the executive director of the UAD, "Big" Bill Williams, and it's bad, very bad. It seems that the convention's special guest star entertainer, Trophy Mushro, who has been staying in the hotel, has just reported that her diamond earrings worth at least $50,000 are missing from her room. She is claiming she left them on a table in her room and went to the pool while the female housekeeper cleaned her room. When she returned, they were gone. There were no other witnesses to the incident. Belcher tells Galloway she has to produce that GRA and she should be fired immediately. "We might even lose this convention, if we don't take immediate action on this and discipline the perpetrator," warns Belcher. "Wait a minute," Galloway responds. "We have policies covering this. First we interview the employee and we ask the employee if she would volunteer to take a polygraph to corrobo- rate her claim of innocence. If the employee has had no other incidents similar to this one in her file and she passes the poly, then we support the employee's claims of innocence. That's company policy!" "And we potentially lose a half-million-dollar piece of business over this," Belcher retorts. "I say we fire her and if you think she is innocent, you can always help her find another job. If she passes the poly, we won't prosecute her. This is a 'right-to-work' state and nobody owns their job." s theft anning nea- systems ps may rian. o help moving ed con- Dnest hon- honest - the -keep- erols xtent
