After Jennifer has been passed over for a raise three years in a row, she discovers that the company consistently gives raises to all male employees, and only to male employees.

The company is going through some financial difficulties, and the board of directors decides that it would be a good idea to let some of the most senior employees go, as their salaries are a large drain on the payroll. For this purpose, Capital Manufacturing institutes a mandatory retirement age of 65, which will leave 67-year old Roger out in the cold.

One of the candidates is a white man with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, who has advised the firm on such cases for four years. The other candidate is an African-American employee who has a master’s degree in accounting, and a law degree.
The firm promotes the white male candidate, altering the position to allow a junior attorney to work together with him. This leaves the other applicant believing that he was not offered the promotion based on his race, rather than on a lack of qualifications for the job.]]> 2017-05-18 16:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/websterd11/9hoz9yv7btmu/wish/172628140 websterd11 https://padlet.com/websterd11/9hoz9yv7btmu/wish/172628632 Rhonda’s new employer, during her orientation, explained that all of the employees meet in the large breakroom before the start of the workday, for group prayer. The next day, when Rhonda tried to thank her supervisor for the opportunity, and said she would prefer not to participate, she was told that the pre-workday group prayer is required of all employees. While an employer does not have to alter its own practice of a religious custom, requiring an employee to participate is considered religious discrimination.]]> 2017-05-18 16:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/websterd11/9hoz9yv7btmu/wish/172628632
