Great post. I believe your points are well founded and valid. However, I am not sure I would rather gain 10 pounds to give up coffee.
I agree with your assertion that the best option for Shania is to form an LLC. In addition to the characteristics of protected liability and tax benefits you discussed, this business structure has becoming so widespread in the domestic market that almost two LLCs were formed for every one corporation (Chrisman, 2010, para. 19). I firmly believe that the LLC structure is best fitted for a small business operation (Feigenbaum, n.d., para. 5).

This effort can suggest that Shania is trying to break the “glass cliff” where minorities are promoted to leadership positions within an organization (Cook & Glass, 2014, p. 441). While directed to the leadership of large organizations, Cook and Glass (2014) noted that “women and men are likely to be differentially selected for leadership position based on the health of the firm” (p. 441). However, promoting a climate that supports diversity can lead to greater worker commitment and decreased turnover (Cool & Glass, 2014, p. 450).
Perhaps Shania is trying to employ a voluntary affirmative action policy to promote diversity in her workforce (Thompson & Morris, 2013, p. 411). However, any action taken under this policy to promote a minority person will automatically exclude a majority person and can be perceived as discriminatory. Thompson and Morris (2013) noted that increasing the minority group representation is inconsistent with non-discriminatory policy (p. 413). Additionally, it is “illegal to knowingly using one of the protected categories (race, gender, religion, etc.) in any personnel decision, regardless of which group benefits” (Thompson & Morris, 2013, p.
