Tuesday 2/10/15 Case Study (50 word min)


Unwelcome Job "Advancement"

When Kaleb takes his break in the staff room, Julia, his supervisor, follows him.  She likes to fix his coffee and hand it to him as she backs him into the corner of the room.  She compliments him on what his is wearing and how good he smells.  She jokingly tells him how good they would look together and what a great team they would be.  He knows she is actually serious because she continually tells him that she could help him get promoted if only they were a couple.  He often talks about his girlfriend and tries to distract her with small talk and work-related conversation.  His is now skipping his break when she is around to avoid getting cornered by her.  Julia makes Kaleb feel very uncomfortable, but he doesn't want to treat his supervisor rudely because he needs this job.  Kaleb has told his girlfriend about the problem, and she is insisting that he do something about is.  What should Kaleb do?  What would you do if you were Kaleb?

  1. If I were Kaleb in this situation I would tell someone who is in higher power in the company if I could do that. I think that person then would tell Julia that she can not really do that anymore and if she does she could lose her job possibly. I think she would stop then probably. If not I would notify someone else again and probably say goodbye to Julia. I would feel bad for making her lose her job, but she was misbehaving unfortunately.

  2. Kaleb should definitively tell someone in higher power. I know Julia would probably be really upset about me telling but It would be for the better. if i was Kaleb I would tell other people I worked with and get her to stop. I think its very wrong of Julia because Kaleb has a girlfriend and hes happy so why does she need to try and ruin it.

  3. I think he needs to tell here to back off and tell her how it is flat out how it is. Tell here that the promotions isn't as important as his life the way it is now and the he will just work up until he gets a promotion himself.

  4. If I were Kaleb I would tell someone like the boss because what Julia is doing is harassment and could be taken seriously. Kaleb has a girlfriend and she should respect that. She is bribing him with a better position just to get with him. Kaleb should do something about this before it gets worse.

  5. If I were Kaleb I would find the boss man of the company if I could do that. I think that person then would tell Julia that she can not be the way she is anymore and if she does continue to be a nuisance she could lose her job. I think that would make her stop indefinitely.

  6. If i were Kaleb I would start a riot about Julia and march the streets and maybe just make people think and she would stop and not get fired from her job i think
