The main issues in the case
In this case, Aline Deneuve was the director of training in her company. And the company wanted to give a corporate retreat to the employees. As a director, Aline would like to know the employees’ attitudes. So she chosen five random people to talk with and got their attitudes to the new retreat. But, to her surprise, the bad morale and poor efficiency management system was existed in the company.
Every person’s problems and Why did these occur
Heather was the first person Aline meet. She was the administrative assistant. She did not like the retreat program. She hated her supervisor, Jack, because of not promoting her. And the reason was her boss did not like foreigners (she is from China). She requested supervisor could consider the diverse backgrounds and belief systems.
The main reason of her problem is attribution error which we called self-serving bias. She only blamed jack (External Fact) when she did not get the promotion. But ignored that she toke off a huge number of sick days (Internal Fact). If what she said is the truth. Jack has a perceptual error called Stereotyping. the Stereotyping consist by categorize, homogenize, and differentiate. He did not like foreigners (Categorize) and did not give the promotion to Heather (Differentiate).
The second employee Aline told to was Jack. He did not like the retreat program too. He thought he did not have the promotion due to he is black. And he suggested company to use this amount money to improve security system and to design a socialization and orientation program to help new employees adapt to the staff.
The problem is stereotyping. He divided himself into black group. This is a kind of categorization in stereotyping. And I think he has a little homogenization. He thought he was in sideline cause he is black.
June, manager of customer services was the third one. She was not willing to attend the retreat. She thought this program is wasting time. She did not like it. Actually, she did not like her job.

Jack also thinks that if the retreat was more concentrated on strengthening the security, it would benefit the company even more. In the interview, he mentioned to Aline that employees were taking office supplies home and that security was not tight enough.…

    Michael Blair was faced with multiple charges and years in prison for something he did not do. First Blair would be faced with a really long time in prison for capital murder. Wednesday, Blair was charged with capital murder because of the death of Ashley Nicole Estell, who was abducted on Sept. 4 from a crowded park in Plano, Texas (McFarland). This shows what Michael was charged with capital murder against a Texas teen, Ashley Estell, on September 4th from a crowded park. Second, Blair was already a convicted felon and claimed that he was innocent. A convicted sex offender that was 23 years old was charged with capital murder, says that he did not commit the abduction and killing of a Texas girl (McFarland). This goes more into personal detail about the convicted murderer, Michael Blair, and the fact that he is pleading innocent in this capital murder charge. Michael Blair knew that he was not guilty of capital murder against Ashley Estell, but he would have a long fight ahead of him to get exonerated. The investigation would make him seem more guilty, than innocent.…

    Schmidt, a South Carolina citizen, sued Wachovia Bank in a South Carolina state court for fraudulently inducing him to participate in an illegal tax shelter. Wachovia is a national bank with its main office in North Carolina and branch offices in several other states, including South Carolina. Under federal diversity jurisdiction, federal courts can hear cases in which the parties are citizens of different states. Wachovia filed a petition in Federal District Court, seeking to compel arbitration of the dispute. After the petition was denied on the merits, Wachovia appealed to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. Under 28 U.S.C. Section 1348, national banks are "deemed citizens of the States in which they are respectively located." The Circuit Court interpreted "located" to mean any state where the bank has a branch location. Noting that the statute uses both "located" and "established" to refer to the presence of a bank, the Circuit Court determined that a national bank is "established" in the state where its main office is located, and "located" in every state where it has a branch office. Therefore, under the Fourth Circuit's reasoning, Wachovia was "located" in, and a citizen of, South Carolina (as well as several other states with branch offices). Since both parties, Schmidt and Wachovia, had South Carolina citizenship, the Circuit Court dismissed the case for lack of diversity jurisdiction.…

    Heather, one of the employees, showed her resentment towards her supervisor because of not promoting her. She attributed his boss’s decision directly to the notion that he doesn’t like foreigners (Heather is Chinese) and completely ignored the fact that she has been taking a large number of sick leaves. From Heather’s point of view taking a three day retreat won’t actually solve this anti-social attitude among the employees within the organization.…

    6. Another issue i found is that Ethel decided to give everyone a raise and a promotion when we know that it is unfair for others when Nick is getting one also.
