Clearly however, if the second e-mail is to be believed, this is not the case. The root problem here, as mentioned, is trust. Messages such as the second e-mail are designed to undermine what trust might have remained from employees towards management. Such trust would however have been stronger if management had been ethical in the first place and honest in the second. There would have been no rumors if there were not a seed of truth in them. Furthermore, the facts and figures relating to the company's performance and the actions of management tend to speak for themselves. This remains unresolved, because management refuses to face up to its mistakes.
The main player in the dilemma is Jeremy Campbell. He appears untouchable, continuing his practices and encouraging those working directly with him to act in a similar manner. Other players include the members of the "ethics committee," interestingly enough appearing to be elected by management...
This in itself suggests that management prefers people of its own choosing to cover up unethical behavior by management. At the same time, employees are encouraged to look for unethical behavior among fellow employees. This would act as a smoke screen for the higher-level lack of ethics.
One could argue that the anonymous message is also unethical, being that the employee was not honest and open enough to disclose his or her true identity. However, it is not difficult to understand why this was done. Clearly the employee fears disciplinary action, while at the same time being unable to remain silent about the clear indiscretions occurring at VideoTek. Certainly it is tragic that a company once known for its culture of trust, hard work, and also ethics, has been practically ruined by the indiscretion of a single manager. Whether the company can be saved may depend on nothing less than new management.
Our findings show that social and psychological aspects of work situations are indeed significant risk factors for coronary heart disease, but not in the manner that might initially be supposed. While the psychological demands of work, along with time pressures and conflicts, are found to be significant sources of risk in many of our studies, work that is demanding (within limits) is not the major source of risk. The primary
Ethical Issues in Healthcare Euthanasia Euthanasia is also termed as 'mercy killing', involves concluding the existence of a terminally ill patient on deathbed due to a life-threatening illness. In essence, another individual decides to conclude the existence of the patient by multiple methods, such as using a lethal dosage of injection. The patients can choose euthanasia (voluntary), reject using euthanasia (involuntary), or could be unable to response, depending on their neural function.
TTIP The Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a deal that is being negotiated between the United States and the European Union. One of the biggest criticisms of the deal, interestingly, is that the negotiations are being held behind closed doors, with zero transparency, so that it is very difficult for anybody to know what is in the negotiations. Other criticisms are that the deal, while being billed as a free

GENDER ISSUES & COMMUNICATION AT WORK Gender & Communication As with a number of changes in business, such as "going green," diversity in the workplace was not initially or always welcomed. Eventually, as the times change, there are some organizational changes that must be made across industries simply to keep current with the trends in business practice. Diversity with respect to culture and gender is certainly a change that came with intense
Juvenile Crime Issues in the Criminal Justice System Similar to the concept of childhood, the legal idea of the juvenile justice system or status is relatively new. In the United States, the juvenile court system was established approximately 200 years ago with the first juvenile court instituted in 1899. Before the inception of the first juvenile court, children and the youth were regarded as small adults and were therefore prosecuted and
