What Would You Do?No unread replies.No replies.While attending Santa Clara University, Ginny Erickson had a sales internship with a large radio corporation. Her job focused on selling advertising to untapped resources around the Bay Area. To find new business, she was advised to look for small, local companies that hadn't thought of advertising on the radio. The company's informal philosophy for its sales staff, as she learned from others on staff, was, 'Do the best for us, not for the client.'Ginny struggled with the company's motto. The radio station had a young audience base, yet they were asking her to convince family-owned restaurants and other small business owners to advertise with them. The station was willing to do anything to make a profit. Ginny knew that these family-owned restaurants and other targeted companies shouldn't be interested in placing ads with such a young audience, but she was told to convince them anyway. To her, this philosophy was just dishonest.Ginny was also told to "use whatever incentive, whatsoever." For a young female, this included pushing the limits of accepted, respectable business attire to attract customers. She had a target to reach and, as a low-ranking member within the company, Ginny didn't voice her concern about the business practices to any of her superiors. With the lofty quotas they set, she felt she had no choice but to use their unethical practices. Besides, she needed the sales experience and a good reference to put on her resume.Ginny was your student in Business Ethics last semester. She just called you seeking your advice. What would you tell her, and why? After you create your initial post, respond to your classmates posts. Do you agree with their course of action? Explain.Second question:My Job or Tobacco?No unread replies.No replies.Weyco may be one of the only large companies in the country that can boast not only a smoke-free workplace, but a smoke-free workforce. Achieving that status, however, didnt come without a lot of effortand controversy. Howard Weyers, the founder and CEO of the Michigan-based health-benefits-management company, attracted a lot of media attentionand the ire of workers advocateswhen he let go four employees recently after they refused to stop smoking. Civil-rights activists accused the company of discrimination, arguing that Weyers was punishing workers for engaging in a legal activity on their own time. Weyers claimed that he gave his employees plenty of notice and opportunities and incentives to quit. I gave them a little over 15 months to decide which is most important: my job or tobacco? says Weyers. Thats a question that more Americans may be asking themselves these days. Most companies already ban tobacco use in the workplace and more than a half dozen states and hundreds of cities have enacted laws to the same effect. Now, citing rising health-insurance costs and concerns about employees well-being, a growing number of companies are refusing to hire people who smoke, even if they do so on their own time and nowhere near their jobs. An estimated 6,000 employers no longer hire smokers, according to the National Workrights Institute, an affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union.Discuss with your peers how you would react in this type of situation.  Should an employer have the right to not hire you solely based on the fact that you are a smoker? Why or why not? After creating your initial post, respond to at least two of your peers and discuss whether you agree or disagree with their viewpoint. Explain and justify your response.$00 words per post include sites and video links if available
