Fact Scenario
Aisha has just been hired as Manager of Human Resources for a successful online grocery
service. At the job interview, the firm’s CEO explains to Aisha that updating the firm’s
administrative practices will be part of her job. This firm has experienced phenomenal growth
since it was created 15 years ago but in many ways it still operates like a couple of individuals
working out of a suitcase. The CEO also says that part of the workforce joined a union last
year. He is perplexed why considering the firm is a fabulous place to work. He says the initial
collective agreement that was negotiated is very brief because neither management nor
employees knew what to put in it. However, he’s heard the union is bringing in expertise to
negotiate a more thorough collective agreement next year and he wants Aisha to lead
negotiations on behalf of management. During her first week on the job, Aisha reviews the firm’s policies and the collective agreement,
which are on an internal webpage. It is a sad and neglected webpage. Some of the materials
are not policies at all, they’re copies of old invoices, advertisements and emails. Aisha realizes
there is no policy on what employee conduct is considered unacceptable. There is a “Google
Translate” version of a policy on progressive discipline, originally published in Portuguese for a
mining company in Brazil. The policy is reproduced word for word in the collective agreement.

That Saturday evening, the firm holds its annual Christmas party for all staff. This used to be a
small, intimate affair. With the firm’s growth they now rent a hotel ballroom for the 200 staff.
It is always a blast and the firm pays for all drinks at the bar.
Aisha is seated at a table with one of the firm’s partners who has flown in from B.C. with his
wife. The partner, Jim, shows Aishas photos of his lovely estate on Salt Spring Island. Jim’s
wife, Clara, is a riot. She keeps the table laughing with amusing stories and anecdotes. Clara is
the life of the party. After supper, the guests stand around chatting. Then it happens. A middle-aged woman emerges from the crowd looking visibly intoxicated.
She wobbles up to Clara, points at her and says in a loud voice (slurring her words): “You’re a
fat cow!”. The woman staggers off muttering in a loud voice: “Moo! Moo! Moo!”. Clara is
very embarrassed. She has always been self-conscious about her body size. Shortly
afterwards, Jim and Clara say their goodbyes and leave the party early.
The next morning, Aisha receives a call from her CEO. He is outraged about what happened.
He tells Aisha that the intoxicated woman from the night before is an employee named Julie
who works in graphic design. The CEO asks Aisha to jump on this matter and report back by
end of day on the firm’s options. He makes it clear that dismissal of Julie for cause is his
preferred outcome but that Aisha is welcome to suggest other options if she can defend them.
Aisha pulls Julie’s personnel file, which is skimpy. There are income tax forms from her hiring
15 years ago. There are “Annual Performance Review” forms in the file for four random years.
Each form is three pages long with spaces for the supervisor to add their evaluation of the
employee’s performance. The 2013 Annual Performance Review contains the comment:
“Beautiful centerpiece!”. All the rest of the spaces on Julie’s forms are completely blank. At
the end of each form there is a statement: “Employee in Good Standing” with check boxes to
tick “Yes” or “No”. “Yes” has been checked on all four forms. There is nothing else in the
personnel file.
Aisha interviews Julie’s supervisor, Rita, Vice-President for Western Canada. Rita describes
Julie as a talented graphic artist. She has done great work for the firm but also has problems.
Julie is usually half an hour late arriving at work in the morning and sometimes shows up
looking “rough”. She sometimes returns late after lunch and Rita thinks she has smelled
alcohol on her breath on some of these occasions. Aisha asks for documentation of these
incidents. Rita explains that she has always tried to bite her tongue and not criticize Julie,
because Julie responds better to positive reinforcement, so there is no documentation as such.
She explains that she and Julie used to be quite close at one time, but life has not gone well for
Julie and Rita feels sorry for her. Rita thinks Julie may have an alcohol problem. Julie once
emailed her: “You know my problem”. When Aisha asks whether Julie has ever had treatment,
