Post on Liz Ames and Josie Zaroft Questions based in readings Hi. Please follow the instruction in the attachment carefully. Make sure your answer covers the each point

The United States is in a period of major transition from an economy where mass production manufacturing industries constituted the core to a one in which industries based on information and knowledge form the core. In addition to the shift from mass production to knowledge-based enterprises, both the workforce and consumer population has also changed significantly. These changes have stimulated changes in employment laws and regulations as well as in management and human resource policies and practices.

Muhl, C.J. “The Employment-at-will Doctrine: Three Major Exceptions.”
Federal Laws Prohibiting Job Discrimination
K. Reardon, “The Memo Every Woman Keeps in Her Desk. – The case study concerns a woman who believes that she and other women are being discriminated against in her company.

Forum:

If Liz Ames at Vision Software sends the memo she has written to her boss and is subsequently terminated would any of the exceptions to the “employment at will” doctrine apply to her case? Would she be protected under any federal law? Explain your reasoning.
Josie Zaroft, a 56 year-old senior software engineer at FutureApp, has informed the human resource department that in advance of scheduled gender reassignment surgery, she would like the staff to refer to her using only female pronouns. The head of HR, Susan, once dated Josie when she was known as Joe, a biological male. Susan calls Josie in for a performance review and states that Josie will not receive a previously-promised promotion because her transition will make it difficult to manage the team of older male tech workers who “just won’t understand this she-male fad.” Susan further states that Josie “must be crazy” and is too old to be “performing drag” in the office. Has Josie suffered from any “discriminatory practice” under federal law? Identify which federal laws prohibiting job discrimination might apply, and explain why. FIRST POST (50 points)
