Case Study 1
A Team of Engineers
ABC Technologies is a semiconductor manufacturing firm that started its
operations in August 2003. It manufactures microchips used in most
electronic devices. By January 2004, it had about 250 employees mostly
production workers working on 24/7 shifts. The firm, being in its start-up
stage, was undermanned to meet the production demands of their
customers. As such, there was continuous recruitment of production
workers, staff personnel, and engineer trainees to fill vacant positions in
the production, process engineering, facilities engineering, and quality
assurance departments. Due to the lack of manpower, engineers were
performing multiple jobs to cover for deficiencies
In March 2004, Miss Red was hired by the ABC Technologies as a quality
control engineer trainee for a period not to exceed one year. She was
assigned to work with the Quality Assurance Department (QAD), together
with four male quality control engineers who were responsible for her
training. She reported to Eng. Marvin Cruz who was the head of QAD.
Over a period of time, Miss Red would continuously ask the assistance from
the four male engineers even for simple tasks, the procedures of which,
were clearly indicated and described in the QA manual of operations. It
came to the point, 3 months later, that the four engineers felt that she was
taking much of their time and they were bothered by her queries. Soon
they became uncooperative to her. Instead of extending to her the usual
assistance, they would ask her to refer to and read the manual for
instructions. Miss Red became desperate when she could not get help from
the four. She felt that the four engineers were not cooperating with her
because she was a woman, and as such, she was not able to effectively do
her work. She felt uncomfortable working in the QA Department. She went
to Eng. Cruz for assistance. Eng. Cruz likewise referred her to the manual of
operations. She felt that because she was the only female in the
department, she was being left out to work on her own. She decided to file
a case of discrimination, sexual harassment, and hostile environment
against the four engineers and the company. At that time, she was in her
6th month of employment.
The HR Manager intervened and tried to resolve the issue. While
investigating the case, Eng. Cruz mentioned to the HR Manager that he had
actually completed the performance evaluation of Miss Red’s training, and
that she was actually qualified to assume the position of a junior QC
Engineer, the position she was trained for. Eng. Cruz, with the approval of
the HR Manager, issued Miss Red a memo regarding her evaluation and
permanent appointment. The memo indicated that Miss Red has
satisfactorily completed her training and that she was now ready to assume
the position of junior Process Engineer to be assigned with the Process
Engineering Department. Miss Red acknowledged receipt of the memo but
instead of accepting the promotion, she instead filed another case of
harassment against Eng. Cruz claiming among others, that the promotion
and the transfer was intended to downplay her case against the company
so that she will eventually withdraw her complaint on sexual harassment.
Discuss the merits of this case considering the following:
a. Was there a violation committed? If there was, what was the
violation? Please discuss.
b. If your were Eng Cruz, how would you have handled this case?
c. As an HR Manager of ABC Technologies, how will you resolve
this issue?
d. What do you think should be done to prevent the occurrences
of this incident?
Please base your arguments from what you read and learned in Chapter 11
of the textbook.
