In this fictional case study, Vision Software was an interesting and exciting company - on the cutting edge of computer technology and a leader in its field. CEO John Clark was proud of its enlightened human resource policies, including efforts to hire and promote women. Yet something was wrong. In just two years, four top women had resigned after working at Vision for many years. Liz Ames, Director of Consumer Marketing, blamed sexism at Vision, and she had drafted a memo to Clark about it. She described a workplace where women felt undervalued. In the midst of this discouraging atmosphere, Vision's best women were just giving up. Liz turned to a trusted male friend at Vision for advice, and step by step as he read the memo, he had to agree with what she had said. But how should he counsel her? Would Clark be open to the criticism, or would he use it against her? Would she harm her relationships with other men in the company? If he advised against sending it, would he be condoning sexist behavior? A broad range of experts comment on Liz's memo and discuss issues women face in the workplace.
