1. You are the vice-president in charge of personnel and marketing at a large manufacturing company. In-house detectives inform you that Gates, an employee, was seen stealing valuable computer equipment. Gates adamantly denies the theft and becomes upset when accused. There is no direct evidence against Gates, but you believe the detectives and fire him. The detectives suggest that you post notices around the company, informing all employees what happened to Gates and why. This will discourage others from stealing. Should you post the notices? Discuss the legal implications of posting the notices.

2. a phone call from another company's personnel officer asks for a recommendation for Gates. What should you say to the other officer? Discuss any legal issues that may arise from discussing Gates with a prospective employer.
