Business Ethics Training Seminar

In part two of the seminar, the focus will be to take another case of ethics in business violated and analyze how it could have been made better by the management. Cases are selected from large numbers of ethics violations in various countries.

Please consider the case below, of another group of restaurants in Michigan, USA. It is the case of:

BAHRCHSCHEESEZ'EZ LAND

A Not So Brief Resume`
(in order of remembrance)

All of my former employers each had their own diverse reason for sending me on my way, I will try to explain that, and why it is I currently am enrolled in school full time and have three jobs.

At Jeffrey's I was forced to resigned because my parents didn't see fit that a 13yr. old needs a job. At Arbor Drugs I retired for the comforts of Taco Bell. It was here at Taco Bell in Ferndale that I learned the tricks of the trade, but apparently I learned too much, because, once I learned the menu and had my own "dollar daze" sale, I was shown the door for the first time. From there it was on to Meijer, a once descent job I was moved from Pet and Garden, to Toys.. in November. This move made me realize one thing, I hate child vermin. I was released after tickling the last Elmo for a five year old using my box cutter. From here it was on to Buddy's Pizza. An all right job, but after a supply loss we needed to cut back, starting with me. Hope was not lost! I moved on to bigger, better things, the fast food giant of the world, McDonalds. At McDonalds I was given a quick three month exit after a failed attempt to put the garbage on the roof by special guest employee Dave, broke 600 dollars in neon lights. It wasn't that trash was going on the roof, or broken lights that got me canned. It was when they called his house for compensation and his pops didn't know of Dave's where abouts for the last three to four days. From there I went to the movies and Star Theater. My popularity with the employees grew to the point where I had more power than management. That was only a portion of what ended my movie. After submitting my mandatory written defense for my tardiness, I was put on thin ice. It actually at an employee meeting where all regional managers were attending an informing us on some new policies. When called upon at random to respond to a trivia question involving my everyday job, which the answer was just explained, I gave the wrong answer and was laughed at by big wigs. Having no tolerance for this came up with a question for management. After standing up and saying WAIT!, I have a question for you! Not knowing what would spew from my mouth the managers from my theater agreed to answer my question of "If a man with no arms is carrying a gun...is he armed?" Having no response I told to "get out, and keep going...forever"

From there it was on to my four day stint with Sports Authority which I was fired keeping a gold fish in my locker, provided my a nearby pet store. From here I went to Mervyn's California and was released on good terms after the holiday. The Store of Knowledge then took me in as one of their own, and let me go after walking out of the store room on to the sales floor with the head of a Bear stein Bear costume on, probably scaring children, I don't know I couldn't see. I was then embraced by Wings Chicken and Biscuits, a failing business, in a failing mall. Released on good terms after being shut down financially. I went back to my roots at Ferndale Taco Bell. I wasn't exactly fired, but given a altermadem, either transfer, or be fired. I was given this after insisting that Captain Cardboard (one of my alter egos) be allowed to work the drive thru. Reasoning with management I agreed to shed my cardboard exterior for my "robot glove" which was made out the foil wrapping for a fajita. Every robot must have a voice, and after debating between Michael J. Fox, Hank Hill, Macho Man Randy Savage, Sean Connery, Louie Anderson, The British Bulldog, Mr. Bean, Jackie Chan, and an angry Irish men, I settled for Mickey Mouse, this was disliked by all those surrounding me. I chose to transfer to a Taco bell in nearby Royal Joke. I was knowledgeable I was promoted manager, but later released after a review revealed that I didn't check that I worked at Taco Bell before. Despite knowing I was a transfer, and the fact I wrote in bold letters, I was given the ol' heave hoed. I went to work for Arby's where I still work, but not very often since their in Madison Heights and I am in Ypsilanti learning about life. In Ypsilanti I am employed by the Pittstop. A university owned party store, it currently has a race car theme but I am in the works of turning it into space. I was fired three times from Taco Bell, but still I get up and fight.

A recent chain of events has left me with only two jobs, and will probably be fired from one soon.

Pittstop has closed for the summer, no that they paid anything I care to mention, but I got a second job working on the dock of Value Village. Much of the time there I spent drunk with my degenrate friends Rob, and Eric. Squrell was hired and brought chaos amoung us, now we are all fired, but not for that reason. Eric was fired for stealing, Rob was fired for urinating on the stuff we were sending back, and I was fired so i could make way for my new job at Nabisco. I got hired at Nabisco and they wanted to started me right away. Rather than quitting I went to work fours hours late expecting to be fired, that didn't happen. After saying hello to everyone I went home and called in sick, that did the trick. Taco Bell my status is unknown, but I care not to find out for AuGratin's intrgety. Arbys thinks I am coming home to work for this summer, but they are wrong, I expect them to take me off the roster at anytime now. I have also been fired from Nabisco foods for a less than steller driving record

EMPLOYEE:                                                 ROLE                                                MOST LIKE                                                        SIDE

Above is a picture of Captain Cardboard, a nobel hero he was, however he lacked that one super hero element, water proofing. As a result he has been wounded very badly in the soures of action. His offspring, Plastick Man has vowed to to carry the torch Captain Cardbaord left behind and battle all forces of the Empire.

Byrd Business College Attendees: at this time you should analyze the reasons for the Pittstop Convenience Store's malfeasance in dealing with the gross complications caused by the worker in question.
