Scenario/Summary
This scenario takes place at a college campus among a group of student employees. We take a look at the interaction among a few employees and the proper approach to take when the behavior of some employees is deemed inappropriate by another employee.

Assignment
You are a student employee who overhears conversations among your coworkers. While on break, two of your male coworkers usually go off by themselves and smoke a cigarette. These recently hired coworkers are in their first semester and have just graduated from high school. Sometimes you overhear bits and pieces of their conversations. You are concerned that they regularly have conversations that are inappropriate for the workplace. You have overheard these coworkers making crude sexual references about other employees, telling sexist jokes, and sharing images and graphics of a sexist nature on their cell phones. You seek advice on how to handle the situation from others at your workplace.

KEY PLAYERS You need to decide if you want to file a formal complaint. If you do, the matter will be investigated. If what you say can be substantiated then the young men will be reprimanded. That usually results in their employment being terminated and their student loans/financial aid may be in put in jeopardy.

Shirley Wright
Manager of Student Employees

I don't care what your boss says; this is inappropriate behavior for the workplace, even if they are on break. They should learn to stop this kind of behavior before they graduate. It's the sort of thing that could get you fired in the real world. If I were you, I would, informally, have a word with them and tell them that I was offended. Once they have been informed that they offended someone, they may decide to change their behavior on their own.

Ron DesVue
30-year-old veteran, student and classmate

Hey, you got a smart phone, don't you? First thing I'd do is record their conversation on my phone. Don't let them know you're recording it. The next time they have one of those conversations tell them that you find it offensive and ask them to stop it. If they refuse or give you a hard time, tell them that you have a recording of their sexist comments and you'll take it to the boss. They don't need to know how the boss feels; the threat should be good enough to get them to stop, at least when you are around.

Hugh Jim Bissell
Close friend since high school and current classmate

Let's not turn this into a federal case. I'd say as long as they're having these conversations in private, among themselves then it's not any of your business. After all, boys will be boys. These are young, single men, and this is a way that they bond, work out frustrations, and blow off steam. Look, it's not like they're making racist remarks. In that case, I definitely go straight to the boss, even higher up the chain of command, if I needed to. After all, who hasn't told a dirty joke now and then? As long as they keep it on the down low, it's no big deal.

Frieda Choose
Close friend and classmate

Activity or Assignment
This assignment covers TCO 6 in terms of interaction among groups and TCO 4 in terms of the meaning of culture within society.

The following questions should be answered in the essay.

3. Do you agree or disagree with Hugh Jim Bissell on using your smart phone to make a recording? Why or why not?

4. Should you take Frieda Choose's advice that "boys will be boys," and that there is a general expectation that men will occasionally behave badly, and so long as the behavior is kept between privately, it should be ignored? Why do you think she distinguishes between sexist remarks and racist remarks? Explain your answer.
