The Three Marvins

Marvin Lowery:

I think the main things you have to look at in this case are; is Marvin a danger to himself, is he a danger to others in the workplace, what can you as a supervisor do to help the situation? It was stated in the brief that he has caused and accident due to carelessness. I think this proves that he is both a danger to himself and others. There is also the added concern of suicide. I think the best approach would be to talk to human resources about the types of counseling is available. You should also look into community groups that provide help for this specific type of situation. There are also religious organizations that help with bereavement, if applicable. When you have appropriate counselors and community services line up, I would then sit down with Mr. Lowery and discuss the situation. I would try to key in on the fact that you are concerned for Marvin. You know he is a good employee and you do not want to lose him. I would then present him with some options on counseling. Make him aware of the fact that if he needs more time, that leave without pay is available. I would then reiterate your concern for his well being and that of his coworkers. Let him know that for any help he needs, that you are there for him. Your first concern is for his welfare.

Marvin Fletcher

I would set up a time to talk with Marvin. I would start off by stating the fact that he is a valued employee. You understand the difficulty he may be having with his children, because both he and his spouse works. I would then let him know that you cannot continuously adjust his schedule to accommodate this. If this is going to be as frequent as it has been then Mr. Fletcher will need to use his sick time and/or vacation time to make up for it. You might ask him whether it is possible for his wife to pick up the kids more often. Reiterate that you understand his situation but you have the rest of the department to think about as well.

Note: Before you talk with Marvin you should look into whether flex time is feasible in your department.

    On numerous occasions, I left work transported the children and went back to work to remain into the night. On other occasions, I left work during the day to take Stephanie to doctor’s appointments or meetings with the worker’s compensation attorney we retained to pursue her injury as compensable injury. This too required that I work late or on weekends to carry my responsibilities at work. There is no doubt that I was not able to make up the short fall created by my extra parental responsibilities. In the attempt to keep up I worked tired and sick, late in the day and early in the morning. I worked on holidays that were scheduled to be days

    The counselor indicated that she spoke with the client via phone and explained that the sessions would not be covered by his insurance. Remley and Herlihy (2014) indicated we should provide the client informed consent at the onset of treatment, including insurance coverage and payment expectations. It may have been beneficial to both the client and counselor to discuss this prior to the clients’ self-disclosure in order to minimize frustration on behalf of the client. Additionally, I can certainly see the challenge of counselors in managed care situations. In this case, the client may only be experiencing expectable bereavement, however without a diagnosis it may not be possible for this client to receive needed

  • The Nightmare of the West Memphis Three

    764 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his article, “The Nightmare of the West Memphis Three”, Rich explores how the people of Memphis drew horrific conclusions about people based on the lifestyle they chose to practice. The article highlights the trials and tribulations faced by the accused three young teenagers. Rich does this by citing the popular documentary series “Paradise Lost” which is an in depth analysis into the lives of the accused, the victims’ families and members of the community. This paper outlines how the belief system of that time superseded the inconclusive evidence, which ultimately led to an unfair trial. By “othering” and “marginalizing” those three teens, the society and police created a scenario that aligned with their belief system at the time. Lastly, this paper highlights the influence of the media and celebrity in changing the course for these boys.

  • The Greesboro Four

    Generally when you think of a hero, who do you envision? Most likely, you picture a strong and imposeing figure, someone capable of performing in high pressure situations, demonstrating bravery and passion to help his/her fellow man. Those who typically fit that role in society are firefighters, policemen, and soldiers. Those people deserve all the credit and recognition they receive for their courageous acts. However, what about individuals or groups who aren’t necessarily on the “frontlines” physically protecting others and saving lives, but who work extremely hard to improve the lives of others in some way? These everyday people deserve credit as well. After all, to the people they help, these volunteers or activists are heroes. An example of such a group is the Greensboro Four, a few African American college students in the early 1960s who helped change the landscape of segregation in the Jim Crow South.

  • The Gracchi Brothers

    Upon expansion of the Roman Empire, lie trials and tribulations for the government to rule the foreign lands and keep the population in check. The Gracchi brothers grew up during a time when the Roman Empire was still under civil unrest. The Roman people were divided, lands were unevenly distributed, the government was disorderly, patriotism ceased to exist, and slave labor made it harder for citizens to uproot themselves from poverty. Tiberius, the elder brother, was the first to bring up the agrarian laws, and was followed after his death by his younger brother, Gaius Gracchus. The brothers knew of the significance of winning the side of the commoners to assert their power over the empire. By ways of the agrarian laws, and other reforms, the two brothers were able to win control of the masses, leaving the senate to fear what could happen if these two rise in power. According to Gaius Gracchus, “in a certain pamphlet, has written that as Tiberius was passing through Tuscany on his way to Numantia, and observed the dearth of inhabitants in the country, and that those who tilled its soil or tended its flocks there were imported barbarian slaves, he then first conceived the public policy which was the cause of countless ills to the two brothers.” (Plutarch, Tiberius Gracchus 8.7)

    There are many prisoners sitting in prison today for a crime not committed by them. Sometimes, the law rushes into convictions before getting complete facts. Maybe a small town needed revenge which could lead to a wrong conviction. It could be from “ignorance of the law”. Most are not aware of their rights and what could be said that might falsely incriminate a person. There are also the forced confessions by police who threaten or use scare tactics to get a false confession. Most wrongfully convicted are sitting in prison for witness misidentification. Police not taking the time to get actual proof of guilt have ruined innocent lives. Is it fair for a person to serve time for a crime they did not commit? Why is a person still serving time when the evidence is there proving their innocence? Today, DNA testing has become more evident to solving cases in proving guilt or innocence. I am focusing on a case of three boys convicted of murders with no substantial evidence to prove guilt and how DNA evidence could help them receive an acquittal they have anticipated for eighteen years.

  • Michael Buckley Case Summary

    In the case of Michael Buckley, it seemed to be a difficult situation to remedy; however, it would seem that clearly Buckley had experienced a situation of exposure. The exposure was evident, Mr. Buckley’s body covered in a substance known to cause illness and death, e.g., Cancer (Montgomery, 1998) . Nevertheless, Buckley did not seek any help in understanding his situation therefor, he did not show signs of a traumatic experience. Buckley would later file suit under the direction of federal employer liability act (FELA) (Montgomery, 1998; Twomey, Jennings, & Anderson, 2011). The lawsuit was based primarily on the belief that Mr. Buckley had indeed encountered a traumatic episode that rendered Buckley emotionally distressed. However, according to the readings, Buckley did experience and exposure to a harmful substance, e.g. asbestos it would be difficult under the terms of the law to prove he experienced a traumatic event being that Buckley refuses any assistance from the psychiatrist or medical personnel determine his State of mind at that time. Still under the law as it's reviewed by the second court Buckley had only to express concern as stated in the court preceding e.g., Metro – North Transit Inspector General, Supervisor,

    I understand that you have been working with our employee Louis Reyes regarding the FMLA and short term disability claim. Yesterday I received the notification from Aetna that Louis’ claim was denied for short term disability. We do need to take a closer look at the dates listed on the claim regarding the last day worked. According to the Kronos record Louis was coded for PTO on 7/12 and his last day worked was actually on 7/11. On 7/12 I reached out to Louis as he was absent at work and was not previously approved for PTO. Louis indicated that he was unaware he was supposed to be at work that day during that particular phone conversation and thought it was the weekend. After cross checking with Louis today he informed his inability to know

Another is the mother may feel embarrass and feel like you are pointing her out to everyone. Since this scenario may not work I may choose scenario two.

    Flextime is short for “flexible work time,” and simply means that it allows for employees to express discretion over the time of arrival to work and the time of departure from work. (Robbins & Judger, 2014)Although with flextime, employees are still required to work a specified number of hours per week, it is up to their discretion how and when they work those hours. Flextime allows for employees to work their work schedule around their personal schedule. This is especially a great benefit for parents. A parent with flextime can ensure they do not have to miss sending their child off to school or a school play or classroom party, because they can flex their work schedule around those things. I had a part-time job with flextime. I was required to work a set number of hours per week and some of those hours were at a specified peak time, but if I needed to come in later or leave earlier for that day, I could adjust my hours around those time. I took advantage of this while my son was in Kindergarten and I never had to miss any of his classroom events. This kept me highly motivated in that job to ensure I was doing the best job possible in order to remain in that position and keep those
