What do you think about this situation.  Employees are expected to follow their employers code of ethics, not to mention mission, vision, and values.  So how did this happen?  This is one’s personal business, we learned that in an interview we don’t ask certain questions (questions that can be personal & cause bias), which really applies to everyday work within the department. 

Going back to chapter 6, Termination for cause and due process were discussed and an investigation must be carried out.  Based on the employee grievance process steps, what do you think this looked for for the employee in question?  How did her co-workers suspect such an instance let alone have her investigated? What would you have done? or Would you have kept to yourself?
