Two weeks ago you started a job as part of the housekeeping staff in a nursing home.
You are often ignored by the other staff members, who do not invite you to sit with you at
lunch, often make rude comments about you behind your back and exclude you from their
conversations. The other staff members often refuse to help you with any questions you may
have and will tell you to “Work it out yourself”. As a result you are having a hard time
“learning the ropes” and are feeling unsure of your role and what is required of you in the
job. You are a male in a female dominated industry and you feel this may be the reason
that others workers ignore you or refuse to help you. You are writing a letter of complaint
to inform your employer of the discrimination that you are experiencing and to provide some
suggestions that may be useful to improving the situation. Suggestions you have

Jane Smith works at the front desk of a hotel. She is the first person that
guests see when they walk in the front door. Today, Jane woke up late and
didn’t have the time to have a shower or brush her teeth before leaving for
work.
She decided she would liberally splash on perfume to try to cover her body
odour, and started chewing some gum to clean her teeth. She grabbed
yesterday’s uniform which had been thrown on the floor. She forgot to
throw out the gum when she arrived at work, and she also realised she had
forgotten her name badge.
2. What do you think is an appropriate way for her supervisor to handle her poor standard of
presentation? - Verbal warning – call a meeting agenda to this in advance
3. How do Jane’s poor presentation standards reflect on the image of the company as it is perceived
by customers? – employee has right for a support person – union rep – rules – document the
meeting lazy / unprofessional all of this makes the compony look bad.
