Scenario Summary: “Top Gun”, Page 598 from the Textbook.
Sitting in her office late on Friday afternoon, CEO Nancy
Warner thought about how happy she was to have the job. “The
opportunity to do what I love to do and find ways to make
Community Hospital a great place to work has given me purpose
in life,” she thought. Community Hospital in rural Oklahoma is
the only hospital immediately accessible to the area’s 40,000
inhabitants.
Nancy Warner grew up on a farm in the area, went to a local
community college to be a nurse, got a master’s degree in health
management, and a year and half ago became the CEO of
Community Hospital. She loved the opportunity and believed
that part of her job was to make employees feel appreciated and
enable them to be good employees.

2. Later, on Friday afternoon, Nancy’s good week changed
suddenly. HR Director Ted Perry brought to her attention a
problem with employee Joe Trosh. Joe, a maintenance worker,
had been reprimanded by his supervisor for his tardiness, and
during a meeting with HR Director Perry to discuss his
attendance problems, HR Director Perry noticed a bulge under
Joe’s work jacket. Upon inquiry, Joe stated that he had a permit
to carry a concealed handgun. He went on to say that several of
his fellow employees were not easy to get along with and on
occasion they might “fly off the handle.”
He wanted to be prepared just in case something happened. He
pointed out most of the maintenance workers were “good old
boys” with gun racks in their pick-up trucks that they had
parked in the employee parking areas. Joe told HR director
Perry and his supervisor, “the law allows me to carry a
concealed weapon for self-defense purposes.” Joe Trosh was
on occasion had been subjected to “Addiction jokes” from
fellow employees. He is Native American and enjoys going to
the casino nearby and gambling in general. He speaks often of
his gambling pursuits to his co-workers. Some of the hospital
employees did not appreciate the presence of a gambling casino
at a nearby reservation because the casino provided little tax
revenue to the local community yet provided an unhealthy,
addictive behavior.
Joe had worked for the hospital for approximately five years
and was considered to be a competent employee. An
investigation revealed that several other Native American
employees who visit the nearby casino said they had been
“harassed by co-workers” for indulging in an addiction to
gambling. Nancy Warner was disturbed about these
developments.

Part IA: The Purpose of the Report and the Problem
The purpose of the report is to solve the problem of whether or
not Joe Trosh has the right to carry a concealed weapon in the
hospital as a reason for self-defense against discrimination and
harassment from the staff of a rural hospital in Oklahoma.
According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, harassment is “ PLACE A STATEMENT FROM

Harassment based on stereotypes can affect an organization’s

It is important for managers to have knowledge of the Second

handle discipline decisions that involve employees who have
experienced discrimination through harassment by co-workers.
