The owner, Timmy Blackburn, wants to maintain a policy of having a lean, yet highly productive staff, which means that the employees must be dependable, highly competent, and willing to work at a high level of productivity for long hours each day. Timmy needs to hire a new sales manager to replace the current one who is retiring at the end of the month. Timmy feels he needs the same type of employee he has had in the position - someone who has considerable experience as a sales manager, is creative, a good motivator, and communicator, with good communication and management skills, and someone who would be committed to the dealership for a long time. Time is of the essence because the current sales manager is leaving in two weeks and the inventory needs to be drastically reduced by the end of the year, which is just four months away. After reviewing applications, Timmy invites 10 candidates in for an interview. The interview panel is comprised of the office manager, Helen, the service manager, Joe, and Timmy. Based on the interviews, it was clear that one candidate, Sarah Morrison, was outstanding compared to all other applicants. Sarah had recently moved to the area from another city where she had been a sales manager for 15 years. Everyone agreed that she was the perfect candidate and planned to extend an offer to Sarah the next morning. The next morning, Helen approached Timmy with some news. She had met an old friend for dinner the night before. The friend told Helen that she was four months pregnant and that, coincidentally, her new neighbor was also four months pregnant. The pregnant neighbor was Sarah Morrison. Helen said nothing to her friend about Sarah’s employment opportunity or pending job offer. Timmy, Helen, and Joe discussed the potential consequences of hiring Sarah. Timmy reminded the others that an employment decision could not be based on her pregnancy. Helen observed that though legally this was true, from a practical standpoint the dealership could not afford to be without a sales manager for an extended period of time. Timmy was also concerned about Sarah’s absence and her potential inability to work for long periods under intense pressure, especially when they needed to reduce inventory. Helen also pointed out that although Sarah was clearly the best applicant, there were at least three other applicants who would be suitable sales managers. What are the legal and ethical issues involved in this case? Should Sarah have told Timmy that she was expecting? Should the owner hire Sarah or some other applicant (should the information about the pregnancy be considered)? If Sarah is hired, how could Integrity Motors accommodate her pregnancy?

A 1000-piece jigsаw puzzle is а tаsk that we cоuld all dо, but takes quite a bit оf effort because we have to figure out where the pieces go depending on the picture and the shapes of the pieces. This fact that solving a puzzle requires effort and skill makes this task an example of intelligence.
