Week 5 EOC: Silicon Valley Rights and Wrongs ep.5

While looking for a new logo, Erlich gets a graffiti artist to make them a new logo. What’s wrong with this is that Erlich got someone who affiliated in illegal activity and brought them to design a company logo. Erlich also did not get any consultancy from Jared when making the deal with the graffiti artist, meaning there was no legal document that confirmed the transaction. Jared’s mental tension starts to break when the group of employees of Pied Piper have no boundaries nor do they have respect for the company. Jared starts to take action and tries to make Pied Piper a legitimist functioning company. He makes this flow chart to keep track of the group’s progress and he spikes a little bit of coworker competitiveness which raises the level of work being completed immensely. A problem Jared had with the “organization” was that Jared and Richard were not communicating, it almost felt as if everyone was ignoring Jared. “Effective workplace communication is important in companies with workplace diversity.” Richard put in an application for a tech competition that would fund your business fi you won. Jared had no idea and when Gavin and Peter Gregory, Gregory who is funding Pied Piper, found out there was a big mess that took place. A big mess which could’ve been easily avoided if Richard would’ve told Jared about the application. “Understanding the benefits of effective communication helps companies place a focus on developing a workforce that is able to communicate within the firm and with customers, vendors and international business partners.”Then there’s the obvious mess at the end of the episode where Elrich gets busted by the police for growing marijuana. Even if he didn’t get caught, partaking in illegal activities in the work place is not a good idea. “Corruption and criminal activity within the workplace are serious problems.”
