V. Conclusion
This is the scenario:
Review the following scenario, and respond to the questions
that follow:
Kevin is a hardworking salesperson at a local department store
in a small town. He is a great salesperson and takes pride in his
work. He is single and is new to the area.
When Kevin first started, he was introduced to everyone by

4. Sally, his trainer. They went to the break room, and Sally said
to enjoy the remainder of his break and left. Shortly after she
left, one of the employees introduced himself to Kevin and
made a lewd remark about Sally. The other male employees
sitting in the break room laughed and made similar comments
under their breath. Kevin remained silent and changed the
subject.
Kevin’s friend Ned who he met playing volleyball works in a
business that is close to Kevin’s store, so they go out to lunch
on a regular basis. One day, Ned picked up Kevin to go to lunch
and his coworkers saw them. Another time, when they were on
their way to a game after work, one of his coworkers ran into
them. Since then, whenever Kevin enters the break room, the
other male employees give him the silent treatment. It seems
that whenever he leaves the break room, the other male
employees erupt into laughter. At other times when he
approaches his coworkers, they abruptly stop talking and glance
secretively at one another. It becomes clear to Kevin that some
of his fellow employees seem not to like him, but he is not sure
why.
Because of his strong work ethic and customer service skills,
Kevin is promoted to assistant manager. This creates tension
among the other employees who have worked there for a longer
period of time. During his first week as assistant manager,
Kevin asks Bill and Ted to help him stock the new shipment of
merchandise throughout the store. Bill and Ted reluctantly start
to help him unload the truck. Kevin leaves them to finish the
job and returns to the floor. He returns later to find them on an
unscheduled break. Bill is on his cell phone and Ted is found
smoking a cigarette out behind the store. Much of the
merchandise still remains in the truck. Kevin decides that they
should be written up for the infraction.
Weeks later, Kevin’s boss, Frank, calls him into the office. He
explains that there have been some complaints from customers
about Kevin. Without giving much detail, Frank explains that
the company’s image is very important for sales and customer

5. satisfaction. He goes on to explain that family values are very
important to the image of the store and the community. He
continues to say that Kevin’s sales are not what they used to be
and that there were some errors on the invoices. He goes on to
say that it is unfortunate, but it is just not going to work out. He
finishes by stating that the company has a policy that an
employee may be let go for any reason and he is terminated.
Kevin protests and asks Frank to explain why he is being fired
but Frank says that his decision is final and that the matter is
closed.
In terms of sociological analysis, what do you make of this
situation? Is there anything Kevin can do?
