Tacit Agreements

For Glenn Ruisdael, life isnt turning out quite the way he expected. At thirty-three, hes alone once more, living in the small town in Michigan where he was raised, chronically depressed and working a job thats below his abilities. He spends his days merely drifting along, drinking too much, and feeling like a failurebut things are about to change. His grandmother, Sandra, has died, leaving him and his estranged brother, Martin, very wealthy. He has also inherited keys to two private rooms at the family mansionone, the sole domain of his grandfather, and the other, that of his grandmother. As he explores these rooms and discovers the truth, he is forced to admit that idols all have their feet of clay. But he also comes to realize that saints can be found in the most unlikely of places. Checkered as his own past is, Glenn knows that the time has come to deal with his personal demons. He misses Gideon, his ex-lover in Minneapolis, an unconventionally spiritual man who challenged the core values by which hed been living. Glenn also realizes the time has come to try to reconnect with his brother. Martin, after all, is the only family he has left. Glenn knows he is at an important crossroads in life, and the path he chooses now will have repercussions reaching far into his future.

In many countries, employees are legally entitled to a contract of employment. The contract of employment usually provides a statement of a range of obligations and rights on the part of the employer and the employee. For instance, it will probably say how much the employee is to be paid, what hours they are expected to work, and what duties are required of them. It may also say something about standards of conduct and dress. And it will probably contain some information about disciplinary procedures and notice period. All these things will be clearly and precisely stated. In other words, they will be explicit. In addition to these explicit terms, though, employers and employees tend to have expectations of one another that are not stated clearly and precisely. This case study examines these tacit agreements.
