Human Resource Management: Ethical Dilemma
You've been working as a talent specialist in Human Resources at Megacorp Manufacturing for about 3 years. Recently, you were asked to meet with the company president to help with hiring a new office staff member. You're nervous because this is the first time you've worked directly with the President and you want to make a good impression. After the two of you discuss the job description and the qualifications that are needed for the role, you are confident that you can find the right candidate to fill the job. The two of you shake hands and agree you'll begin the process immediately. Just as you are about to leave the President says "One more thing. I don't want you to hire a gay or lesbian for this position because it would make me uncomfortable. I have nothing against them. I just don't want someone like that on my office staff. I'm sure you understand." You're surprised and a bit shaken. What do you do?
