EEO Policy
Deborah and Dominic are the top candidates for an assistant
nurse manager position Deborah is the stronger candidate,
but it’s obvious to the hiring manager that she’s pregnant. It
would be really inconvenient for the unit if they hired
Deborah and she went out on maternity leave a few months
later, so the hiring manager decides to hire Dominic instead.

Q&A
1. Two coworkers are having a disagreement in front of a patient, and
one says, “Let’s take this outside” so they can continue the discussion
in private.
2. An employee asks a colleague in another department out on a date,
he declines, and she doesn’t ask him again.
3. An employee loudly complains to anyone who will listen about the
smell of the “ethnic” food a coworker brings from home every day.
4. An employee has an Eagles cheerleaders calendar (the one where
they’re all in bikinis) prominently displayed in his workstation.
5. An employee has some recurring problems with her supervisor, so
she fills out a Workplace Complaint Form. When the supervisor finds
out, she tells the employee she’s going to cut her hours and only
schedule her for night shifts.
