Please read the following scenario. Then complete the writing assignment described below. Green Wave Landscape Management You are the operations manager for Green Wave Landscape Management, a provider of residential and commercial landscape maintenance. You have a substantial number of customers in your metropolitan area. Due to the increase of business in the summer, you must hire additional employees. This year, you hired six new employees. Henry Stewart is your most valued customer because he is a prominent real estate agent and refers many of his clients to your company. He recently had his home’s trees and shrubs sprayed for insects by your company. Yesterday you received the following letter from Mr. Stewart: August 18, 2014 Dear Green Wave, I have been a customer of yours for five years and have sent you innumerable customers. And you have the nerve to send over two bozos to spray my yard. Those two idiots have killed over $2,000 in prize fish. Additionally, they were rude. As you may or may not know, I raise expensive koi in my fishpond. Whenever your people spray my shrubs and trees, they have been asked to cover the pond. I assumed people in your profession would know how to do that without being told. Obviously, I was wrong. I am terminating my service with Green Wave, effective today. I demand immediate restitution for my dead fish. If payment is not forthcoming, I will see you in court. Sincerely, Henry Stewart In addition to the letter, you also discover that Mr. Stewart has posted scathing commentary on your blog. He has posted the same complaint and request for remuneration publicly. Now you have a public relations crisis. During your investigation, you discover that Tom Harrelson, field manager in charge of assigning workers to the various job sites, sent two new workers to the Stewart residence. The accident at the Stewart residence probably occurred because these new workers were sent alone. Your company policy is to pair new and experienced employees on work assignments. Please write an analytical report in memo format for internal circulation to your company’s president, Ms. Sarah Robinson. Your report should provide any necessary narrative background on the situation, explain what went wrong, and provide recommendations to prevent it from happening again. Was this an isolated incident attributable to a field manager who failed to follow company policy? Alternatively, are there deeper causes related to your company’s communication processes, training and hiring policies? In constructing this report, you can get creative and construct possible problems that may not be apparent in the scenario described above. For example, you can construct communication problems for the company, even though the scenario above does not specifically mention communication problems in the company. Or you can construct hiring problems and weaknesses if you would like to.
Most of us have situations in which we find it difficult to communicate. Improving your written communication skills and being comfortable speaking to people are extremely important. Develop a two- to three-page APA-formatted paper in which you analyze your personal communication skills. Be sure to address the following:
Your paper must be two to three pages (not including title and reference pages) and must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the approved APA style guide. You must cite three to four scholarly sources in addition to the textbook.
Explain the processes involved in how one senses the world around them (sight, touch, hearing, etc). If you had to give up one, which would it be? Why? What in your life (think about home, work, school) would be impacted by this lack of sense? How does perception influence your sensory systems?
Write a 1000 word, APA style paper on Community Reintegration Programs for Juveniles (returning from detention facilities).
In your paper discuss what types of coordinated services should be provided to help youths making the transition from detention to community.
Scenario: Sam Trudeau owned a busy veterinary hospital. Two receptionists “manned” the front desk at all times. Their responsibilities were to answer phones, make appointments, collect payments on services rendered, and various other duties. Almost all payments into the hospital were in the form of cash, checks, and charge cards.
A receptionist called in sick, and Sam could not find any other employee who could work her shift, so Sam decided to cover the shift himself. On the day he covered the sick receptionist’s shift, the phones seemed to be ringing non-stop, clients were backed up, and everything was chaotic. Mr. Ordine, a regular client, and his dog had just been seen by the veterinarian, and Mr. Ordine wanted to pay his bill in cash. Sam knew Mr. Ordine’s dog received just one vaccine, and the price was $25.00, but no paperwork was done yet, so Sam took Mr. Ordine’s cash and said he would mail him the receipt when one was generated.
At the end of the day, the veterinarian still had not completed the paperwork, and Mr. Ordine’s file was in the stack to be re-filed. Apparently the veterinarian had forgotten to generate the paperwork, so there was $25.00 in the cash drawer that had no paper trail. Sam needed to run by the grocery store on his way home and was short cash, so he took the $25.00 out of the drawer, meaning to pay it back.
The next day, no one had noticed the $25.00 was missing, and Mr. Ordine’s file was re-filed. Sam considered the plusses and minuses of putting the $25.00 back in the drawer, and creating the paperwork for the service rendered. Mr. Ordine was expecting a receipt to be mailed to him, but Sam knew he could easily generate a receipt without it going into the computer system, thus allowing him to just keep the $25.00. After all, it was not that much money and if he did the proper paperwork, he would just have to pay taxes on it anyway.

3) Describe what you think the effect will be on the other personnel at the hospital upon an auditor discovering this situation.
4) Discuss how Sam Trudeau should approach the situation using your chosen ethical perspective and explain why and how it will impact the personnel at the hospital.
