Point 1: Donald Wright worked for 15 years as a snack bar cashier for the Sports Arena managed by Stanley Harper's company. Donald had twice won the company's "Employee of the Year" award, and Stanley considered Donald a valued and trusted employee who had, on many occasions, performed above and beyond the call of duty.

Point 2: Stanley was surprised when newly installed video surveillance equipment confirmed that Donald, despite rules against it, had, on several occasions, given free food and beverages to friends who had visited the arena.

On the advice of the company's human resource representative, Stanley is documenting, in writing, his decision on handling the situation.

Question 1. Assume you are Stanley, and draft a letter to Donald indicating the consequences of his actions.

Question 2. Do you believe an employee caught defrauding his/her employer should ever be given a second chance? If so, under what circumstances?

Question 3. What impact will Stanley's decision in this case have if, in the future, other employees are caught stealing?
