%JACK'S RESPONSIBILITY CONTROLLING HARM 850714
Jack takes seriously his responsibility as president
of his company. He regards himself as responsible for the
personal welfare of his workers. He is like a father to
them. He takes steps to make sure none of them are
harmed.
Jack has heard rumors which make him suspect that in
private Jill has been doing things which threaten the
personal welfare of some of his workers. He has no
evidence of wrong-doing and no worker has brought a
complaint against Jill. No one has lodged a grievance
that they have been harmed, that any contract or law has
been violated, that anyone's fundamental rights have been
compromised.
Jack feels it is his responsibility to anticipate
probable harm and to take steps to prevent harm. A stitch
in time saves nine. An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. Better early than late.
Jack is a sensitive person and not given to making
direct accusations when they are not justified. Jack
calls Jill in and discreetly and gently makes inquiry to
try to determine whether action on his part is required to
prevent Jill's private behavior from harming his workers.
Jack feels he must fulfill his duty to protect his
workers. He does not want to be found to have been
negligent in fulfilling that responsibility. He takes his
authority seriously and intends to use it to fulfill his
responsibility. He is not sure just who placed the
responsibility upon him and where he got the authority to
do what he feels must be done, but that does not get in
the way of him doing what he feels he must do.
Jill is not mature enough to call into question
Jack's assumption of the responsibility to anticipate and
prevent harm due to the private behavior of his workers.
She does not know how to help Jack be less paternalistic
towards his workers, to deal with them as mature adults.
Jill is embarrassed by Jack's inquiries and does not know
what her rights to privacy are. Jill feels threatened in
vague ways by Jack's paternalistic behavior and acts
sufficiently guilty to confirm Jack's suspicions about
her. To fulfill his responsibility Jack fires Jill.
