I felt that Cathrine was fired for just cause. Was anything she doing illegal? Probably not, but France has a different view of freedom of speech. Did what she do create a hostile work environment? I believe it absolutely did. Once her identity became public knowledge, there was damage to the company. How will Catherine’s coworkers react towards her if they feel that whatever they do may be released for public consumption? How will that executive continue to operate with credibility with the firm’s clients? Gossip can be very damaging to an organization. I found this situation similar to case study 4. In that case study, the damage Dinah had done out of principle still warranted her termination. The continued damage that Catherine’s presence would have caused would have been far more costly than the severance package. Also, culturally speaking France is very pro-worker. Had this taken place in America I don’t believe Christine would have won anything. Stacy accepted a position where the employees are held to a higher moral standard. Her online activities are a reflection of her as a professional. For example, many pro athlete contracts have standard moral clauses. When athletes get into …show more content…

There are two sets of rules in any office setting. There are the official company rules, and then there are the cultural norms. Saul was right, he wasn’t breaking the official rules, but he was violating the cultural norm. Saul could dismiss the warning and continue to wear his headphones without official repercussion. But, there would be a price to pay for not adapting to cultural norms. He might get passed over for the next big team assignment because he is viewed as unfriendly. He might get skipped the next time a developmental program comes along. I took this situation as a senior coworker giving his junior coworker some good advice. Whether Saul chooses to follow it is up to him, but being viewed as unfriendly by coworkers is never

By utilizing personification to describe fate as an omnipotent deity in chapter 2 of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein vindicates himself, redirecting blame upon fate instead. Victor expunges his culpability in Chapter 2 of Shelley’s Frankenstein by characterizing the battle for his soul as a struggle between “destiny” and his “guardian angel” and by concluding that “Destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed [his] utter and terrible destruction” (Shelley 27). By disassociating himself even from the struggle between his fate and his destiny, Victor denounces the perilous potential possibility that he could have changed his own nature. Moreover, he invokes beings such as angels and Destiny such that he seems small

One famous quote by David Nicholls is, “If you have to keep a secret it's because you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.” What this really means, is if something you’re doing is kept a secret, it’s probably at best looked down upon, and at worst, thrown in jail or killed. Even though secrets may seem mysterious and exciting at first, the consequences can have a long lasting negative effect. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the secret of the love between the two characters was ultimately the reason they died a sad and untimely death. Today, secrets can still create dangerous consequences and completely change one’s life as can be seen in the article, “‘Open Secret’:

Although, it could mean more business as well as more money, it is not worth the high stakes as well as becoming a dishonest person, due to the want for more money.
