You Can’t Fire Me The following paragraphs will answer the questions of how the author would handle themselves after the situation in “You Can’t Fire Me”. The paper will further discuss if the author believes the regional Human Resources (HR) manager handled the matter in an ethical manner, and why or why not. The first matter that will be discussed is how the author would handle themselves after Tom was rehired by the company, and put into another regional position. In the ethical situation Norman Blankenship was put in between Tom Serinsky, one of his section bosses, and the HR manager, I believe Norman handled himself in the way Norman believed to be ethically correct. Which should be what drives any person to make a good ethical decision. …show more content…

I am assuming he has enjoyed the culture of the company to stay with them for such an extended length of time. If I were Norman, I would be confident in my own actions. I realized there was an issue and I investigated to see if the issue was accurate, and when I found that there was an issue, I addressed it head on (he led with corporate social responsibility (CSR) (Mondy, 2016, p. 25). I set an example for others in the department that unethical behavior will not be tolerated. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:10-12). This action not only protects the integrity of the company, but it protects the safety of other employees, as well (another example of CSR) (Mondy, 2016, p. …show more content…

According to Mondy (2016), some people believe that the HR department is responsible for creating the company ethical culture. In this example, the HR manager did not legally do anything wrong, because Tom Serinsky, was not legally doing anything wrong. However, Tom’s actions of sleeping on the job and potentially putting others life’s at risk was unethical. I believe the HR manager made many poor choices in this scenario, but the one decision that I believe made her decision unethical is that she did not treat Serinsky as she would have treated any other employee at the company. If Serinsky’s actions were breaking “official” company rules, and any other person would have been fired, it is irrelevant who his family or friends

Furthermore, it is the HR professionals duty to make sure the management team is fully aware on how to conduct business within the guidelines because in some cases knowingly or unknowingly laws can be broken and grave consequences will follow in suit. When we tie in the case of St. Mary's Honor Center v. Hicks legal risk management comes into play. I support the ideal that some risk management cannot be avoided by leadership and some risk taking may play a crucial role in the continuance of an organization. Although there are certain lines you should not cross and being able to cover your tracks are very important. In this case referenced, St. Mary's gave evidence as to how they made adverse employment decisions, but in the manner of doing so raised some red flags that enabled Hicks to have the opportunity for the case to eventually be heard in Supreme Court.

There one not moment when Mr. Lumbergh was actually a decent human being. I do not think that is ethical at all to have a manager treat its employees in such a poor manner. Each employee was disposable in his eyes. He harassed some of the employees and thoroughly enjoyed making them feel bad. No one would say or do anything about this behavior they honestly just watched it happen.

According to an introductory letter in the ethics policy manual, while “it is our policy to adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct […] determining what is ‘right’ is sometimes difficult to discern” (United States, 2015, p. 1); however, all personnel are expected to understand and uphold these standards. Those that do not, face steep consequences because the integrity of the organization must be upheld in order to maintain the trust of the citizens who have granted them this

Her actions followed the humanistic approach which “views the individual as empowered” (Rebore, 2014, p. 95). The new empowerment opened the possibility for employees to take ownership over their own moral behavior, an opportunity they had not received with the former superintendent. With the new power, also brought shared responsibility of criticism to those decisions.

The article extensively details how poor and incorrect decisions are made because of poor HR training and practices. Sometimes the results can be undetectable but other times there are dire results that could have been avoided had they been practicing evidence based human resource techniques. The concern to protect the company at all costs and leave the employee incredulous as to the reason why they were not hired or why they were fired is just plain wrong. The rationale of not divulging reasons to the employee to avoid repercussions sometimes backfires when the employee decides to legally challenge the decision. Sometimes errors are made in payroll or tax forms by Human Resource personnel because they are untrained or do not have the resources they need to do things right.
