Simone Blackstock, assistant credit manager of Caribbean Incorporation arrives at the office in
a happy mood. It is a sunny Monday morning, and she is returning from a well-earned vacation.
The Blackstock family really enjoyed its vacation; and on this Monday, as Simone opened the
office door, all seemed right with the world. Simone greets a co-worker, Michael Biggs, with a
bright smile. Biggs, however, frowns.
âSorry about the bad news, Simone.â
âBad news? Itâs too nice a day for bad news.â
âWell, I donât believe it, Simone. Let me know if I can help,â says Biggs, as he hurried
away.
Sensing that this happy Monday has changed suddenly into a disaster, Simone hastily picks up
a telephone and calls home.
âEverything alright there?â Simone asks. She is re-assured by a familiar voice.
âEverythingâs fine; Iâm a little late leaving for work this morning, thatâs all. Why, dear? Simone,
whatâs wrong?â
At that instant, Biggs re-enters the office. Simone ends the telephone conversation abruptly
with, âDonât worry. Weâll talk about it tonight.â
Simone hangs up the telephone, and enquires of Biggs âWhatâs this all about?â
âPottinger wants to see you,â was the reply.
Anxiously, Simone rushes to the suit of John. W. Pottinger, vice president for Human Resource.
Pottingerâs receptionist says mournfully: âIâm truly sorry about this thing. âGo right in, please.â
Simone opens the door to Johnâs private office.
âCome in, Simone. Shut the door. Please sit down.â
âWhat is it, J. W.?â
Pottinger pushes back his chair resignedly and says âIâll come right to the point: This company
canât have credit executives who donât pay their own bills.â
Blood rushes to Simoneâs perspiring face as Pottinger continues: âWhile you were on vacation,
Simone, your secretary was assigned to another office for a few days. A temporary replacement
handled your incoming mail during that time.â
âSo what?â
âOne of the incoming letters wasnât routine, Simone. The envelope it came in wasnât
marked personal or confidential, and the message waswell, itâs an ultimatum from one of
your creditors, demanding payment for a long overdue bill. A very large bill, I believe.â
Pottinger reaches into a desk drawer and tosses the letter to Simone, who silently reads it, and
glares at Pottinger. There is a long painful silence before Simone finally says: âYouâll get another
letter this afternoon. My resignation! And that creditor may not be the only one who is sued!â
âCalm down, Simone. If itâs only a matter of miscommunicationâ
âOnly miscommunication? Do you want to see receipts and cancelled cheques proving I
pay my bills? That ultimatum shouldnât have been sent to me â especially without a personal or
confidential notation on it. And why did an unauthorized person open my mail, read it, feed the
grapevine with false information about me? I thought people were logical. I thought you were
ethical. Why did all of you believe what is untrue?â
âWhy?â repeats Pottinger thoughtfully, as he paced the floor and scratched his head?
âWhy?â
