             Job Discrimination it is very rampant nowadays because of cultural differences, glass ceiling in which women are discriminated and many things against an employee based on their relationship in a certain group. This unethical in the sense that the person will work for you or already working for you and give his hand or share his ideas for the company and yet the employee is being discriminated or harassed.

Though the topic is job discrimination, there are other forms of discrimination aside from job discrimination, for example, in America; black people are neglected when in a restaurant. Even during the Spanish Era in the Philippines, we were colonized and enslaved. Though there are wealthy Filipinos that time, they’re still being discriminated and insulted for being shorter than the Spaniards.

             Though the government is taking action when it comes to discrimination but the problem is that there is also discrimination in the government when a person is applying for a position in the government offices.

Chapter 8: Moral Choices Facing Employees

            In the Obligation to the Firm section of this chapter, the employee must agree to do certain tasks whether he likes it or not. But if the employee is stubborn then he does not oblige to the firms policy and should be punish or be expelled. But if the employee doesn’t follow because of the firm’s unethical behavior, then it is a different story. The employee should take necessary action to ask why they’re doing it. If their reason is unreasonable then report it to the proper authorities.

            About the loyalty to the company, the employee should have the obligation of loyalty to the company. If the employee have loyalty to the company, regardless of being paid more or be promoted, he can do his job well and will not make any disorder within the company. He will also make beneficial move in order to protect the company’s interest or warn the company of danger that the organization will make. If the company is not loyal to your loyalty then there must be a problem about the company.

Chapter 7: The Workplace

             Organizational Influences in Private life portion of this chapter, privacy is an acknowledge right and everybody agrees on that. But some organization tends to threaten or abuse it. Some secretly listen to phone calls of the employees and read their e-mails or the secret relationship with a co-worker being foiled. This really is unethical. Don’t get information from your employees or co-workers for being nosey.

            Some organization makes some test like drug test, polygraph test to test the applicant’s information given is true. This is ok because with this test you will know who among the applicant you will hire. Because some applicants are not qualified that is why they’re being tested in some personal information like the personality test and skill test.
