Wenonah, a foster care worker, intensely dislikes her colleague Herman, a worker in the same unit. She feels he is lazy, knows little, and fails to take his job seriously. She takes every opportunity to criticize him to other workers behind his back by focusing on the fact that he has a single eyebrow that flows across his Neanderthal-like forehead. This is the ethical thing to do.
