You have been wondering about this, especially since reading about employee harassment incidents and fights recently in the news. The General Manager (GM) calls you into his office the minute you arrive. He shuts the door after saying a quick word of welcome, and begins to tell you about an incident that happened last week that needs your immediate attention. The company\’s manufacturing operations runs three shifts of production workers so the plant is operating 24/7.

Be sure to cite any references used in proper APA format.
