DILLION V. CHAMPION JOGBRA
The objective of this study is to examine the case Dillion v. Champion Jogbra and to answer the following questions: (1) What are the legal issues in this case? (2) What is the implied contract in this case? (3) How did the employer breach the implied contract in this case? (4) Why did the disclaimer in the employee manual fail to have the effect desired by the employer?
What are the legal issues in this case?
The legal issues in this case revolve around the employment at will of employees of the company Champion Jogbra and the wrongful termination of the employee Dillion. Additionally at issue in this case is Champion Jogbra's 'Corrective Action Procedures' which are included in Champion Jogbra's employee handbook. The Corrective Action Procedures require that the company take specified steps prior to terminating an employee which includes that management use "training and employee counseling, to achieve the desired actions of employees." (p. 528) The Corrective Action Policy is reported to establish "three categories of violations of company policy and corresponding actions to be taken generally in each case." (p. 528) The Corrective Action Policy further is reported to delineate "progressive steps to be taken for certain types of cases including unsatisfactory quality of work and time periods governing things such as how long a reprimand is considered active." (p. 528) The result is that employees are sent messages that are mixed and the Corrective Action Policy in effect is inconsistent with the employment at will disclaimer contained in the employee manual.
Dillion states that when she was hired she was promised specified...

No matter how intelligent a person is and how successful he can be, there are many reasons for him to choose a career not really worthy of his talents. This can be due to the conception that some races do not succeed in a certain field. Similarly some women might want to become a space technician but not really take it up believing that women are not welcomed there
From the list of personal dimensions of development produced by the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (Arredondo et al., 1996), gender is the dimension most neglected or ignored, in spite of the fact that gender intersects with all other dimensions across cultures (see Hansen, Gama, & Harkins, 2002). Whether internal or external, one major weakness is the need to motivate more counselor educators to value career counseling and to
Sixth, I look at Alex's vocational personality. I do this by looking at her stories through with Holland's RIASEC hexagon. Using this tool I see that she most resembles the Enterprising type (Holland's Theory of Career Choice and You, 2009). She likes to be a leader, act with enthusiasm and enjoys being the center of attention. In Alex's case it appears that her choice of becoming an attorney and possibly getting
RT, in his mid-30s, has worked for the services sector in the past 7 years as a Business Development manager. He is currently out of work because the agency he used to work for 'folded up' when it was badly hit by the economic recession in 2008.

Career Counseling and Multicultural Students in School-to-Work Transition Good career counseling always takes place within a cultural context, which is true regardless of ethnicity. Current theoretical models may not be adequate to explain the career behavior of racial and ethnic minorities.
