  • After her conversation with Temple, Goodearl goes to the Personnel Department to inquire into fling a harassment complaint against her supervisors at Hughes
  • After her discussion she sees the personnel official leave his office and turn toward Frank Saia's office, one of Goodearl's supervisors.
  • Goodearl is then called to Saia's office. An angry Saia throws his glasses at her and threatens to fire her if she persists. He also asks her where she gets of fling a harassment charge against him.

Dialogue

  • Construct a dialogue in which Gooderal reacts to Saia both during Saia's outburst and after it.
  • Is Saia harassing Gooderal? (How do we define "harassing" in this context?)
  • How should Goodearl respond given that Saia's latest outburst was caused by the personnel official reporting to him the confidential meeting he had with Goodearl?
  • What are Goodearl's options at this point? Are any of the strategies for responsible dissent we have studied so far relevant or of use?
