Questions 3-7 refer to the following e-mail and memo

To: Maximilian Johansson

From: Assawa Hussein

Subject: Discrimination

Date: January 22

Dear Mr.Johansson:

After serious thought, I have decided to resign from Marko Enterprises. Over the past year, I have overheard several co-workers making discriminatory remarks about my clothing, religion, and race. My traditional headdress is not only a symbol of my religion but also my way of life. Other colleagues freely proclaim and display their religious beliefs in the office. Therefore, I believe it is only fair that all employees be given equal freedom of expression.

I have devoted three years to this company and love my work. It is only my working environment that I dislike. Not all of my co-workers have treated me poorly. However, the number of those who have is enough that I feel uncomfortable at work. Additionally, I feel anxious and have noticed a decrease in my productivity at work, both of which are direct results of the treatment I have received. Please inform me if you would like to discuss this matter more in person. If not, please consider this my letter of resignation.

Memo

To: All Marko Enterprise Staff

From: Maximilian Johanson

Subject: Worker Morale

Date: January 29

Complaints have been made of discriminatory remarks in our office. This is completely unacceptable behavior at Marko Enterprises. We are legally and morally bound to take action against any form of discrimination, whether against sex, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Each of our team members has signed a contract against such actions. Therefore, any member caught doing so will be fired on the spot, in accordance with our no-tolerance policy. In order to improve our working environment, a one-hour lecture by the State AntiDiscrimination Board will be held every Monday for four weeks beginning on March 3 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. all staff, including myself, is required to attend.

At Marko Enterprises, we strive for excellence in business and relations. The way we treat one another in the workplace is directly connected to how we treat clients and how we represent the company. Marko Enterprises intends to take the lead in making sure all of our hard-working staff feel secure. Please join us in making Marko Enterprises a leader in human rights.
