At a Target store in Pasadena, California, an employee who was subjected to the walk of shame was released and never charged with a crime.

Target Corporation denies that it has any such policy.

To determine:

The things you think of the "supposed" practice-positive or negative.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

I think of the this "supposed" practice negative, as this practice demotivates the employees and harms self-respect of the individual. Companies should adopt firing the individual convicted with crime silently and main total secrecy with his or her identity.

Conclusion

Companies need to think employees as an individual who is serving them not slaving them. Self-respect is an essential part of everybody's life.

Step by step answer
A bank loan officer who was taking medication for depression had numerous drinks at a local bar, went to a cemetery, and, with a gun in his hand, threatened to commit suicide. He eventually drove off but was intercepted by the police and committed to a psychiatric facility for four days. His physician certified that he would be able to resume all of his duties in a week, but the bank balked at reinstating him. Officials at the bank expressed their shock that he was released from the hospital so quickly after threatening to kill himself. He was told that he could not be immediately reinstated because of “the impact of your action in the community and on the ability to perform your job.” He was placed on a leave of absence and then terminated. Did the bank violate the ADA? Why or why not? Case: (Lizotte v. Dacotah Bank, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1223 [D.N.D.]
