Document Summary

Rpq case study #4: the best of intentions. The primary issue of this case involves a conflict that cynthia faces regarding whether or not she should offer a job to a very deserving individual, steve ripley. The reason for cynthia"s confusion is that steve is black, and her boss, peter does not think it would be a smart move for herself, steve"s career, or agfunds" reputation. Cynthia is particularly sympathetic towards steve because she herself has faced similar discrimination in the past in her career, since she is a woman and is considered a minority in her workplace and district. She remembers the anger she felt when a less worthy candidate got the position she was vying for in indiana. She feels confused because she knows that steve has all of the credentials for the job, but does not want to set him up for failure, as peter suggests she will if she offers him the job.
