  13. Personal Experience I work at a bank and one of my previous managers would accept nice gifts from a customer who would bring them in constantly. Due to his nice gestures, she took in a large check and deposited it with no hold. It turned out to be a bad check and the money was never recovered. She cost the company a lot of money and also lost her job.

  14. Diversity in the Workplace Diversity in U.S. companies is legally enforceable under equal opportunity laws administered by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Refers to the differences that people bring to their jobs on the basis of gender, age, race, ethnicity or professional background. Enforcing employee diversity is not merely legal, but beneficial to the company.

  15. Personal Experience At my internship, I was constantly bullied by assistant manager, he called names like “Caprisa” or “Shenita”. At my workplace, this made me feel uncomfortable and it also caused the other stylist not to respect me. Eventually me bringing it to his attention in front of others made him stop but, now it happens to the stylist more frequent. The assistant manger is over HR, and says things to the stylist like, “ Go help your people”. -What is the difference between harassment and being bullied? How would you solve this problem without compromising your intern?
