Gavin and Abby worked for Mega Grocery, a chain of grocery stores. Gavin was a manager, and Abby was a cashier. Gavin was angry with Abby because she would not go on a date with him. Mega Grocery set up, maintained, and allowed employees to use an online forum to post suggestions and complaints. Gavin and some other employees posted derogatory comments regarding Abby, criticized her for refusing to go out with Gavin, and poked fun at her appearance. Abby complained to Mega Grocery's human resource manager who told her that the forum was open to all employees, that Mega Grocery had a policy of not interfering, and that Abby should just post a reply. Discuss whether Mega Grocery should be required to intervene or whether Mega Grocery is allowed to have an open forum. Also, discuss what you ethically believe the law should be in this area.

Mega Grocery would have a duty to intervene. As discussed in the text, employers have a duty to remedy online harassment when they have notice that employees are engaged in a pattern of retaliatory harassment using a work-related online forum. Student answers may vary regarding what responsibilities they believe employers should have in this area.
