Week 4 ends in 1 hour
I know when you read this you are thinking it's really close to the wire for you Omega. I know, I know! This was the second weekend I haven't felt well at ALL. This one was far worse than last week. I had to go to ER Saturday and I only waited 4 1/2 hours, but at least I was cool inside the building because temps here in the Atlanta area were 104 degrees. I'm still experecing some discomfort expecially when I sit still for a long time it's difficult to start moving again. Hopefully THIS weekend I'll feel just fine.
This week our topic has been on ethics in corporate America and if one person can make a difference. My answer is absolutely but they must have ALL their facts and be willing to face the scrutiny that will surely come as a result of being a whistle blower.
I posted this story in response to a classmate - Although this story is not about corporate America it is about doing what you believe to be right.
I bought an ipad 3 case from an on-line retailer through Amazon, good price. (you get what you pay for) In most things I do a little research to see if it's worth my money, so I read all the reviews and everyone said it was a good product and they were happy with it and would recommend it. However; I had a few questions because the new ipad hadn't officially been launched as a Apple fan & customer I was able to pre-order. So may biggest question was will it fit, if no one has for the sake of true measurements how can you guarantee that it will work for me. So excited I made the purchase and my ipad came about 4 days later - wouldn't you know it - it did NOT fit, it did not secure my purchase. I'm a little sideways at this point so I go online and write my review, nothing nasty but honest in that it didn't work for me. To this day I am getting e-mail request from the company to go in and change my review and they will send me a partial refund. I have not even acknowledged their e-mails (all 12 of them)
Totally unrelated to corporate America but it's a perfect example that people will go to great lengths for you to do things their way even if it means going against what you stand for.
None of my neighbors have visited me - I'm a little disappointed :-( I'm moving at the end of this semester :-) Have a wonderful safe celebration tomorrow.
