Problem
In this Manager's Hot Seat case, Lynn Couchara's employee is put on a leave of absence for improper use of a company phone and Internet while Lynn is on vacation. As Lynn tries to understand the issue with her employee from the HR representative, the situation becomes quite complex.
• Do you feel the punitive action taken by the Human Resources Department was warranted?
• Do you feel Lynn's own use of the company phone and computer should have been brought into the conversation at all?
• How would you move forward with this situation if you were Lynn?
