I obtained a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice from Norwich University in 2011. Through the U.S Army I received training to certify as a member of a Company Intelligence Support Team (CoIST). With this certification I led my Company's CoIST team as an additional duty while serving as a Company Fire Support Officer in the 82nd Airborne Division. During my deployment to Iraq, I served as a Plans Advisor in the Combined Joint Operations Center in Baghdad, in which I had daily interactions with Iraqi General Officers in order to advise and assist in operational planning to support Operation Inherent Resolve. Due to the fact I was able to communicate with clearly and confidently I was awarded the Joint Service Commendation…
This e-mail is in reference to the two employees who are going to be terminated Friday. We have determined that they are Nicole Stone and Lorenzo Torres. As we discussed yesterday, their performances are not on par with those of other employees in the accounting department; interventions with these employees have not been successful in helping them improve their performance. Let’s plan to meet with them individually in the conference room between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.…
If WorldCom would have created a working culture full of honesty, positive work environment, openness, and assistance there would have never been any fraud. Instead they created an aggressive, individualistic, and competitive culture. Efforts that were made to establish a corporate Code of Conduct received Ebbers disapproval; he described the Code as a “colossal waste of time”. The consistent pressure from management created an aggressive and competitive culture that didn’t contain any communication, honesty, truthfulness, or ethics within the company. Ebbers also created an individualistic culture where the boss was to not be questioned. All this…

For the user support employee, a customer service model begins and ends with communication. Communications not only involves speech or writing, but listening or reading well also. Communications is a two-way exercise, which involves both parties and their need to reach a satisfactory resolution. The various forms of communications between a user support employee and a customer determines the experience of a customer with user support as well as, adding or detracting to the opinion the customer has of the company. The first of these communications is the tone and style of the support employee. Each support employee should strive to create his or her own personal style of communication. This style should include everything from a greeting to a strategy for resolving customer complaints (Beisse, 2010). The technician should use clear, succinct speech or writing to convey the necessary information to resolve the customer’s issue (Beisse, 2010). A technician’s style should include the ability to categorize a customer to meet that customer’s needs and expectations. Support technicians should be able to restate a customer’s problem in the technician’s own words to show empathy and understanding of the customer problem. This is how the relationship of an ‘extremely satisfied’ customer is started and created. This should be the goal of all employees in a company with any type of communications (Beisse, 2010).…
1. The importance of employee benefits as a strategic component of fulfilling the goals of human resource management is to find, attract, and retain quality employees (DeCenzo & Robbins, 2009). Treating employees with respect, offering bonuses, rewards, on site lunches, etc. helps keep employees happy, and loyal. The main purpose for employee benefits is to find qualified candidates to fill positions, and want to stay within the company. Without offering employee benefits, employees wouldn’t remain loyal, and productivity would be low. Benefits are an employees’ incentive to want to do their job to the best that they possibly can, as well as stay loyal to the company. In today’s…

The inherent obligation to duty and responsibility placed upon the leaders of any organization, although in some instances is implied, should be understood. Ones inability to accept a position without this understanding, from my frame of reference, is ludicrous. While analyzing this case using normative ethics as a general approach to moral decision making process, I found that Ebbers failed to consider the implications of his actions for this employees, stakeholders, and shareholders. He also failed to consider the deontological issues concerning his duty to do what was right according to the law. At the time of its collapse, WorldCom had over 830,000 individuals and institutions that had held stocks and bonds. In September 2005, as a result of a civil suit, Ebbers has forced to forfeit cash and assets worth as much as $45 million, to settle lawsuits filed by WorldCom shareholders. I believe Ebbers should be incarcerated for his crime, but I am sympathetic to the argument presented by his defense team that perhaps his term is harsh in comparison to other officers closely associated with this case. He is not the lone villain; the chief executives and board of WorldCom also…

WorldCom was use creative accounting in order to make the financial accounting records to look good which is the profit increasing. They was used a liberal interpretation of accounting rules when preparing the financial statements. While the company acquiring MCI, it give the management opportunity to make the creative accounting. WorldCom had devalued hard assets while simultaneously increasing the amount of goodwill of MCI. Goodwill is an intangible asset which include brand name. In USA GAAP, the goodwill is the different between the acquisition prices and fair value of identifiable assets. This enables the WorldCom each year to change a smaller amount against earnings by spreading these large expenses over decades rather than years. The net result was WorldCom’s capability to cut annual expenses, acknowledge all MCI revenue and boost profit from the acquisition of MCI.…
