Discipline
Case 1
Cases
Rosa is an accountant who has had absenteeism problems for the past 6 months. Although some reasons appear to be valid, such as her son's illness, on other occasions, there is no just reason for her absence. This has caused a backlog of work in her area and the supervisor thinks it is time to take action.
Case 2
Ismael has proven to be a good worker, but with a very poor attitude towards his co-workers. On one occasion, his bad temper led to an argument with his immediate supervisor, for which he was verbally reprimanded by the Director of Human Resources. Yesterday, it was brought to your attention, as a supervisor, that Ismael had another altercation, but this time with a co-worker.
Case 3
As a supervisor, you have asked an employee to make a presentation, including an oral part and another using the Power Point tool. Upon handing over the presentation, you note that it was copied in its entirety from another presentation on the Internet, and that all the employee did was substitute his name for the real author. You are undecided about how to act in this situation, because you do not have time to make a new one, but you do not want to ignore that act of dishonesty.
Case 4
Arturo is an employee who belongs to the main union of workers of the company in which you are supervisor. In the past, Arturo has been disciplined for interrupting or abandoning his work to advance the causes of the union. His file already has three written reprimands, which he doesn't seem to care about. Today he has left his work again, despite the fact that you have instructed him not to.
