What Should Cynthia Mitchell Do? In other words, should she terminate Steve? Should she have placed him in this position to begin with? (Humphreys, 2009.) First of all, Steve’s performances steadily declined for an obvious reason that a majority of customers who refused to work with an African-American representative. Apparently, the customers exhibited racial preferences when they preferred to work with people of their own races.

Over the last several decades, workplace issues have become an area of controversy for most employers. This is because the regulations surrounding what practices are considered to be discriminatory have increased dramatically.

The court should take a look at what the partners said like, “she was sometimes overly aggressive” (Nkomo, Fottler, McAfee, 7 edition, p. 57).
