I have chosen age discrimination as the topic of this discrimination paper. I have chosen the topic based on event s that are happen in the field I am working in, engineering and construction. As corporation try and remain competitive in this market they are making decisions that are effecting employees with substantial experience and salaries. My planed approach to this paper is to justify the staffing requirements that need to be made by this corporation so that they may remain competitive in this aggressive market. I have chosen a woman that at the age of 39 nearing 40 has been replaced by a much younger qualified but experience engineer. Under Title VII the woman being replace does not legally have a case but she feels that she has been wrongfully terminated based on the fact she is nearing 40 years old and replace by this younger employee.
Jane Doe is a well-respected engineer in the business. She has specialized in safety systems and understands the concepts and analyses of such systems to ensure companies design, engineer and build these plants safely. Jane is 39 years old and is at the upper range of her salary level and is due for a promotion in the up coming employee evaluation. The average age in the engineering business is 45 and ABC engineering is looking at hiring in new graduates to help ensure that they will have an edge in the market when the older generation begins to retire. With a recent downturn in engineering and construction of major petrochemical facilities ABC has decided to hire in new graduates at less cost and let the older engineers with 20 plus years of experience train them. With this decision ABC decides to replace Jane with a much less experienced engineer in hopes that the more experienced will train this person to do the job that Jane has done in the past. At less cost to the company ABC hopes to groom this individual into their next generation of safety engineers and level off the average age of engineers within its organization. Read more…
It seems clear that this situation describes the problems that arise, when the meeting between ascription based and achievement based cultures is not handled in the right way. Achievement based cultures accord status on the basis of what you have achieved, while in ascription based cultures your status depends on your family background, gender, age and education. Things you should avoid when doing business with ascription based cultures is sending young executives to important negotiations, using performance related reward and fast track promotion policies.
The main problem in the situation seem to be the fact that Mr. Yamamoto, coming from an ascriptive culture, does not feel that Janne Sundhagen, coming from an achievement based culture, has the necessary skills to handle such an important negotiation. Ascriptive based cultures must be assured that your organisation has great respect for you and that your are near the top. The fact that Mr. Yamamoto politely insists to speak with her boss might indicate that he does not believe her to be in a position to make important decisions. Read more…
Advertisements are involved in almost every part of our daily lives. They are involved when we watch television and listen to the radio. They are involved when we get up and use our name brand toothpaste, when we eat our breakfast and go to work. It is almost impossible not to be affected by all the advertisements. That is why private companies spend tremendous amounts of money for a slight glimpse in someone’s life. There will always be one ad that can usually stick out when flipping through these magazines. I found a particular ad like this in Gentlemen’s Quarterly (GQ). GQ is obviously primarily for men. The magazine “focuses on men’s personal style and taste, from what he wears to the way he lives his life. GQ covers subjects ranging from finance, food, travel, entertainment, celebrities, sports, grooming and fashion” (Conte). The average man that reads this periodical is probably going to be a man ranging in his late twenties to his sixties. A man that is also middle to upper class, who is able to enjoy certain aspects of life that the ads portray, will read this magazine. Read more…
