Include your opinion of the "worst case" of damages the company may have to pay to Virginia.

Re: Virginia Pollard Case
Mr. Moore it is in my firm opinion that you settle this case so your company can move on and not be impacted on this matter any longer. I feel the longer this plays out the longer your company could suffer financially and publicly. You need to get in front of this and have the press stopped.
In my opinion you are looking at worst case scenario of damages by this case could be exponential. You company still has legal fees for any and all attorneys you are hiring to fight this battle. You are having to pay more in Public Relations to stay in the fore front of press. You are not only going to have to pay out money you could possibly lose money. Since the word is out you could lose contracts, and as well as any customers that may do business with you just base on the perception of the company. You will have to pay unemployment charge backs, as well as your unemployment rates are going to increase.
If you will look into Case In the Matter of Reuben Starishevsky, Petitioner, v. Hofstra University et al., Respondents. This shows how a company/ organization can lose the appeal and have to reinstate the employee’s job along with back pay. I suggest you look this over and put a game plan together with your attorney on how to overcome in your case.
The circuit court overturned the decision of the NJ Human Rights Commission that had found that Pollard was the victim of sexual harassment and disparate treatment. Please

    At this point when Ms. Darcy filed a formal complaint with the company where action took place, but here is where the issue lays for me. The action I believe was taken a bit late and effortless in regards to an employee that was harassed and made all notes to confront and also move to another supervisor. 2nd point would be that after action was taken, suspending the supervisor in this conduct was not sufficient because upon their return I am only still few hundred feet away from that same uncomforted. This action was delayed and not handled properly as it should have been.…

    TCO B. Infuriated when Harry Reid is re-elected during the 2010 fall election, the Republicans in Congress decide to take matters into their own hands. In 2011, the House of Representatives passes a new "Freedom isn't Free Act" that requires that anyone who wants to vote in the 2012 presidential election must prove that they paid at least $200 in federal income tax in the past year, including people aged 18 (who typically are deducted on their parents' returns and do not pay income tax). Anyone who received the "earned income credit" is barred from voting unless they return the payment from the government. Proof of payment of the tax can be made by showing a copy of the prior year's W2, a copy of the prior year's tax return, or a signed statement from the IRS stating that the payment of more than $200 in federal income tax has been made. Citizens who do not pay taxes can still vote if they donate $200.00 to the federal government as voluntary income tax and get a statement from the IRS that they have done so. The law sunsets on December 31, 2012. List two bases under which someone impacted by this law could argue to have the law overturned.…

    (TCO I) Marianne Jennings wrote an article, “Why an International Code of Ethics would be good,” which was assigned to be read at the beginning of the course. As you have worked throughout this session, you should have considered this article and how it may or may not have impacted different situations in the world economic/business/legal/political environments. The essay you will write on the next question should show that you have read Marianne’s article and can apply her theories and thoughts from that article to the scenario provided. Feel free to rely on the information you know about the situations (if real) or analogize to one that is real, if you wish. Include in your answer at least two specific concepts from Marianne’s article, and apply those concepts to your reasoning in your answer. You will be graded on your knowledge of the article as well as the application of ethical theories to international situations. Arguably, the United States and other countries have been experiencing one of the longest and hardest hitting economic crises since the Great Depression over the last few years. This economic downturn is a result of multiple things, but the housing bubble burst was one major event that continues to ripple throughout the bank/lending world. As a result of the downturn in housing sales, foreclosures, bank lending overvaluations, and bank failures, lending practice changes and bank bailouts have become the norm.…

    Being in charge of soldiers is a subject that is known oh so very well. In this situation I would feel as if an AAR on my leadership would be necessary. An AAR is an after action review which is a simple option for facilitating anything that has been done even leadership. It works by bringing together a team to discuss a task, event, activity or project, in an open and honest fashion. After an AAR has been completed I would be able to implement the changes that they would request for me to make and see if my workers become more responsive to me. I feel personal power is the most important type simply because Personal Power is internal to you. It is the skill set that earned you that important job title or rank, it is the knowledge you gained studying and training hard to meet all the requirements to fulfill your position. It is the ability to stay cool under pressure, it is the can do mindset. It is having outstanding character, resilience, persistence, patience, and intelligence. Because these things are internal to you, they cannot be taken away from you. Positional power is the act of using the title given to get things done. It is a Squad leader that has 15 soldiers underneath him that he still has to make do things. When you use personal power to get things done the soldiers will be willing and you won’t have to make them do anything. I just faced this situation recently where a SM ranked higher than myself tried to use his rank and position to do things that did not meet regulations. I kept an open mind and simply told him what could be done and his alternatives.…

    1. In 2004, Toys R Us sued Amazon.com for violating terms of the agreement between the companies (specifically, Toys R Us objected to Amazon.com’s permitting Amazon Marketplace retailers to sell toys) (Note: when the lawsuit was filed, Amazon Marketplace was called “zShops”). Amazon.com responded by filing a countersuit. After more than two years of litigation, a New Jersey Superior Court judge ruled that the agreement had been violated by both parties. The judge ordered that the agreement be terminated and denied both companies’ claims for monetary damages. Use your favorite search engine and the links in the Online Companion for Case C1 to review the judge’s findings and ruling. Prepare a report of about 200 words in which you summarize each company’s arguments and the judge’s rationale for her decision. Conclude the report by stating how you would have ruled on the case. Support your ruling with logic and facts.…
