Moore Beer Reduction in Workforce
Moore Beer, Inc. is a 25 million dollar a year micro brewing company heavily involved in the direct marketing of its various micro brew products. In order to cash in on the internet selling boom, Moore Beer, Inc. opened two new online marketing and direct distribution channels.
Soon after these websites went live, technology problems, together with sluggish sales killed the company’s profits. As a result, the company has decided to abandon its new direct marketing plan and to reduce its workforce.
You are the Vice President (VP) of Human Resources (HR) for Moore Beer, Inc. The President of the company has asked you to terminate the employment for a number of employees. He has given you a list of people to consider and has charged you with writing a paper describing which employees to terminate, the reasons for each termination and the legal risks with each particular employee in terms of post termination litigation.
Your job as VP of HR:
You must terminate three (3) of these employees. Two employees may be folded into existing openings in the rest of the company.
Here are the employees:
Roger Jones
: Roger is a 34-year-old male, who is originally from a country in Asia. His overall track record with the company is above average. His productivity is above the median although other employees complain that they have difficulty understanding him because he speaks English with a heavy accent. This has been a problem when he is answering calls from employees at the company information systems help desk. He has achieved no special honors or awards while employed with the company. He has a Bachelors degree in Information Systems from a good University. His job duties include maintaining existing computer systems which will be obsolete after the reduction in force. He has had no absenteeism.
Patrick Pierce:

He has been solely responsible for much of the quality programming which took place in the program being abandoned.

Pat has recently let you know that he suffers from a chronic illness and he feels like others in the company have been treating him differently because of his illness.

Terminating Sally will cause immediate financial hardship for her. Sally has missed 13 days in the last two months.
Margaret Johnson:
Margaret is a 28-year-old African American female. She is a very dynamic salesperson. Although most of the new division’s sales came from Margaret’s hard work, she is generally perceived to be a ladder climber and puller and out only for herself. She is not perceived to be a team player although it is widely recognized that she is smart and talented. Margaret is very active in the local chapter of a civil rights group and, on several occasions in the past, has complained on behalf of other employees when she believed they were not being treated fairly. She has missed two months work in the last 12 months.
