Shelly Wexler tells her supervisor, Rob Levine, that having to care for her aging mother is forcing
her to leave work early and is making her feel increasingly stressed out. Rob refers her to the
companys EAP, but he also tries to convince her to put her mother in a home for the aged and
even gives her some information about nursing homes in the area. Do you think Rob is just
showing ordinary concern for his employee, or do you think he is overstepping managerial
boundaries? Discuss the supervisors role in implementing an EAP. Should a supervisor try to
diagnose an employees personal problem? Why or why not?
Can you think of a job-related reason why a company would decide to restrict dating between
employees and enforce a no-dating policy? Do you think employers have a right to restrict any or
all of the following off-duty conduct of their employees: (1) smoking cigarettes; (2) engaging in
high-risk leisure activities such as skiing, motocross racing, rock climbing, or sky diving; (3)
actively supporting a radical political candidate in an election; (4) having a romantic affair outside
of the marriage relationship; and (5) joining a religious cult that preaches hatred against
minorities? Justify your answer..
