CASE ANALYSIS 2- contains 2 mini cases; NOTE: please apply your learning from ethics discussions in the classroom. Mini case i-2 MARIS A manufacturing company provides jobs for many people in a small town where employment is not easy to find. The company has stayed in the town even though it could find cheaper workers elsewhere, because workers are loyal to the company due to the jobs it provides. Over the years, the company has developed a reputation in the town for taking care of its employees and being a responsible corporate citizen. The manufacturing process used by the company produces a by-product that for years has flown into the town river. The by-product has been considered harmless but some people who live near the river have reported illnesses. The by-product does not currently violate any anti-pollution laws. CASE QUESTIONS (answer each question in about 50-75 words) 1. What are the issues of integrity, ethics and law posed in the case study? 2. What options does the company have, and what should it do and why? Mini case ii- 3 MARKS Joan, an employee of Great American Market, was warned about her excessive absenteeism several times, both verbally and in writing. The written warning included notice that "further violations will result in disciplinary actions," including suspension or discharge. A short time after the written warning was issued, Joan called work to say she was not going to be in because her babysitter had called in sick and she had to stay home and care for her young child. Joan's supervisor, Sylvia, told her that she had already exceeded the allowed number of absences and warned that if she did not report to work, she could be suspended. When Joan did not report for her shift, Sylvia suspended her for fifteen days. In a subsequent hearing, Joan argued that it was not her fault that the babysitter had canceled, and protested that she had no other choice but to stay home. Sylvia pointed out that Joan had not made a good faith effort to find an alternate babysitter, nor had she tried to swap shifts with a co-worker. Furthermore, Sylvia said that the lack of a babysitter was not a justifiable excuse for being absent. CASE QUESTIONS (answer each question in about 50-75 words) 1. Was the suspension fair? 2. Did Sylvia act responsibly? Was she fair in her actions? 3. Is there ever a solution for working mothers? Should working fathers take turns staying home? 1. What's in it for me? 2. What decision would lead to the greatest good? 3. What rules, policies, or social norms apply? 4. What are my obligations to others? 5. What will be the long-term impact be
