Brianna is a college student who is applying for summer jobs in town. She is majoring in
communications and marketing. She has experience in customer service and is very sociable. She
applies for a part time job at a local store.
Tom, the store manager, thinks that Brianna would be a good fit for his department and is interested in
pursing an interview. He emails Jessica, the HR manager, to set up an interview. Tom interviews
Brianna, and like he imagined, he is interested in offering her a position with the company.
In a series of email exchanges, he and Jessica discuss the three candidates that have applied for the job
and they review pros and cons for hiring each. In one email Jessica states “well, I agree that all
candidates did a fine job in the interview but I think we should hire Brianna; after all, we don’t have any
black employees and it’ll be good for marketing us.” Tom, replies with more information from the
applications and ignores Jessica’s comments about Brianna being black. Jessica sends a follow up email
where she again addresses Brianna as black. This time, Tom responds “well, we do need a token black
person and she is really qualified so let’s hire the black girl.”
You are a manager in another department and someone anonymously leaves copies of the emails on
your desk.
