MHR001 Managing Workplace Relations

Case: The morning-after the office party

Helen Grant sipped her strong black coffee as she walked back to her desk. The bank's office party the night before had been wild. Everyone had been in a great mood. Bonus payment had just been distributed. Just thinking about the $5,000 she had received made her smile.

"Not bad for my first year', she thought to herself. Helen's musings were suddenly interrupted as she caught a glimpse of a woman showing far too much cleavage on the computer screen. Two of her colleagues, Josh and Wilson, were staring at the screen and laughing. Helen instantly felt sick. The image was of her!

Josh, catching sight of Helen, said, 'Great to see you Helen'!

Helen flushed. 'Where did you get that?'

'Email', laughed Wilson.
'Everyone in the office has seen it. You are gorgeous as well as famous, Helen!'
