Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pam has exhibited gender bias and discrimination, which can lead to negative consequences such as decreased motivation and productivity from the victim. It is not an appropriate use of managerial intuition or affected by coworker perceptions. While it may be a violation of company policies or ethics, it may not necessarily be a violation of the ADA unless it can be proven that the discrimination is based on a disability.
