Michelle Go began employment with Luxor Tours Company when she was
hired as probationary employee as tourist guide in 2005. Her application form
showed that she was a BS Tourism graduate of a university e in tour-guiding.
Three years later, Luxor Tours acquired smaller tour agency. Luxor HR
manager Lynn Sotto, while preparing for the merger, saw Michelle’s name in the
employees’ list of the said tour agency. Upon checking, she verified that, indeed, it
was Michelle Go whose service they terminated a few years ago. She held a middle-
management position and her personal files, when reviewed, showed some
questionable entries like the following: that she was a BS Tourism graduate of a
leading university; that from 2001 to 2004 she managed a tour agency in Manila;
her employment with Luxor was no mentioned at all.
Lynn had a dilemma: should she report the false claims in Michelle’s files to
the owner/general manager of Luxor Tours?
Questions:
1. If you were in Lynn’s position, will you report what you found out about
Michelle to Luxor’s Management? Explain your answer briefly.
