The new personal care workers are planning a night out to celebrate the end of their probationary period. The teamleader respons
ible for the new staff is organising dinner at a local pub advising staff they welcome to bring a friend orpartner. One of the new instructors Tom, is planning on bringing his partner of 5 years, Dave. When the newscirculates to the team leader, he pulls Tom aside and tells him it would not be appropriate to bring his partner as itmay impact the reputation of the facility and cause discomfort among the other staff.A) Is Tom being discriminated against? Explain your answer.
Explanation: Believe that if we are co-workers working in a place together and drinking together, there should be a level of friendship involved. For a level of friendship involved that warrant us drinking together, will still enable his co-staff to accept him for for who he is. Most of his fellow staff can be drunkards, some even womanizers. Why then are they accepted and He is not. I believe they are hypocrite and he should not be friends or even drink with them. If they want his hand of friendship, then they should allow him to be able to show his partner without being discriminated or looked down on.
