If Starbucks were audited based on this recorded data, would they be able to claim it was an innocent mistake, or would they be fined?
I’m not finding much sympathy for a woman who should have known she was inadequate to the job. It’s not like she was diagnosed after she started.
The company is getting shafted at both ends. They are liable if she screws up (and not making sure her dyslexia doesn’t foul the record is *not* an innocent mistake). And they are liable if they hold her liable.
Falsifying the record, to my understanding, is the appropriate name for submitting a record as true data, when one is not certain that the data is correct.
Innocent mistakes will still get you fined, but they WON’T get you jail time. That’s one of the big differences between misfeasance and malfeasance. Falsifying implies deliberation, ie malfeasance. She probably was sure, but didn’t realize they she shouldn’t be, until they’ve trained themselves around it dyslexics don’t know the vision center of their brain is lying to them, and even trained up fatigue can leave people confused, or they can hit a symbol combination they’ve never hit before and don’t know how dyslexia is messing with it.
