Manager Ethical Scenario

As the manager of an establishment, I have obviously proven my worth to the owner to the point of where they trust me to run the place, and to make sure that all customers are taken care of in an equal manner. First things first, I would start with the hiring process. I would hire individuals that are hard-working and motivated to work their hardest and to their best ability every single day they clock in. They would have to be great team players and be able to thrive in a team type setting with no sort of judge mental views towards others. They would have to be extremely respectful and have the manners of a mature adult. So, I am saying that I wouldn’t have to worry about an employee not wanting to do their job, over some persons political prestige. They would be more than willing to serve each customer to the same level as the next no matter their race, sex, political views, or religion. In the case of such events taking place, I would have a talk with the employee or employees. I would let them know that they know what their job is, and what needs to be done to get it handled no matter the situation. They’re should be no set back from what this politician says in his political views. He is just like every other individual that is here to enjoy a good home cooked meal in a very nice, respectable establishment. Just because he is in the running for some sort of office, doesn’t mean he isn’t someone that has a good taste for food. If the employee still refuses, then I would take matters into my own hands. Being the manager, I would take the initiative to get the job done, in a timely, and efficient manner that we call for at our restaurant. I wouldn’t treat this politician any different than any other customer that we have had that day. After serving said politician, I would inform the employee about how easy it is to complete a job without having any type of biased views for anybody or anything. And I would tell them that this type of thing will not happen again, and if it does then refusal to work will lead to permanent termination. And it would be more than legal to fire somebody over refusing to work.

The ethical reasoning it feel would co inside with this would be Prima Facie Duties. I incorporate this theory for the reasoning that we must obey in a general way before any other considerations are put into account. My employee should obey the customer satisfaction trend that we have at the restaurant, before they put their tiny bit of political views out into the universe. The employee should have treated the politician just like every other customer, and then talked about how rough it was after the fact, instead of refusing to work. Get the job done, and then discuss the problem later when the matter at hand is taken care of. Then at that point, it more than likely wouldn’t be that big of a deal to the employee. Who knows, maybe they would find joy in working with the politician.
