Thursday 4/2/15 Case Study (50 word min)
Mike landed his dream job a year ago. He's doing what he loves and works with a great group of people. His employer and coworkers seems very pleased with him, his work ethic, and the quality of his work. He has earned an excellent reputation. He was excited last week when another position opened up and he helped his friend, Anthony, get hired, too. But after only a week, Mike is starting to wonder if he did the right thing by providing such a strong recommendation for Anthony. By the end of the first week, Anthony started coming in a few minutes late, taking extra long breaks and texting his girlfriend throughout the day. Anthony isn't taking his training seriously, and Mike has been covering for him. Mike is disappointed in Anthony's lack of effort and is starting to feel Anthony is abusing their friendship. He is hoping his friend's poor performance doesn't reflect badly on him. Mike has tried to talk to Anthony, but he just laughs it off and teases him for being a "company man." What should Mike do?

3/25/15 Case Study (50 word min)
Rosa recently issued a reminder to her employees about non-smoking areas. She reminded them about the dangers of smoking in the warehouse vicinity where highly flammable and combustible materials are stored. She also reminded them about the small fire that broke out in the warehouse several years ago. She explained that smoking areas are designated outside the buildings for use during breaks. For several weeks after the reminder, Justin noticed the smell of cigarette smoke every time he went out to the warehouse. He also noticed that Tami makes an unusual number of daily trips out to the warehouse area. He knows she is a smoker but never sees her use the designated smoking areas. Justin decided to ask Tami why she never used the break area outside. She told him its too cold out there in the winter and too hot in the summer. Justin enjoys working with Tami and she is valued employee, but he's concerned about his safety at work. What should Justin do?

3/18/15 Case Study (50 word min)
Logan is a great supervisor and well respected by his coworkers. Several months ago, he hired Danielle. It was obvious he liked her as more than a colleague from the beginning. He was very flirtatious and gave her extra attention during training. He was always there to rescue her or make excuses when she made a mistake. Now they are a couple and growing increasingly more affectionate at work. They sometimes disappear at break time and no one knows where they are. Even though Danielle is the newest hire, Logan givers her the preferred work schedule, most desirable days off and preferential treatment. Logan has been distracted on the job and is making mistakes affecting his coworkers. His coworkers are getting annoyed, and morale is going down. They have asked Michaela, another co-worker, to talk to Logan because she is his friend. Michaela had a crush on Logan in the past and wonders if he would actually listen to her or just think she's jealous. What should Michaela do?
