Week Three EOC: 9 To 5

The main thing that I really liked about what they did for the movie was that they used actual secretaries to see how they feel about their boss.  I could just see from the short parts that we watched in the added scenes that the producers really wanted to make this feel really real for the women that were going to watch it.  There were a lot of ethical things that we talked about in the book that were also shown in the movie.  One of the biggest things that I saw in the movie besides stealing was that the boss always tried to get with the secretaries.  Sexual harassment is a huge thing in the industry and the movie did a great job of showing that.  The other things that the movie showed that was unethical were that the boss was stealing from the company.  That is why the secretaries wanted to show him a lesson.  I really wanted to talk about the little things that I saw in the movie that I think are unethical.  I think that if you don’t make a work place a friendly place to work that people don’t want to be there and it makes work even harder to do.  When the boss came back he noticed that that everything was different he hated everything.  Then he finally realized that it was working out really well.  In the short story all of the women made everything very ethical and did it all the right way.  The movie just shows that there is an ethical way to do things.  I did not like the part at all where the women had been there a lot longer than the guy and he got the raise just because he was a guy.  Those are things that have been going on for a very long time and movies like this just like to show that, because it is wrong!
