1. What is "presumption of innocence" in your own understanding?

The presumption of innocence means that every person accused of wrongdoing is considered innocent until proven guilty. It is a legal and moral principle that protects individuals from being punished or judged unfairly before there is enough evidence to prove their guilt. This ensures that everyone receives a fair chance to explain their side and that decisions are not made based on assumptions, rumors, or emotions.

2. Elaborate or discuss the thoughtless expression made by Lucas to you and to your group if there is any. Do you think there is a maltreatment of employees or it was just an expression made out of his anger as he was dismayed with the result of the trading?

Lucas’s statement, “You are all morons, you made our stocks lose,” was clearly inappropriate and unprofessional. As a leader, using such words in a work setting can be damaging to employee morale and could be considered a form of verbal abuse. However, understanding the background—his upbringing under a military father who often used similar language,provides some insight into why he might react that way under pressure.
Even though it may have been an emotional outburst due to frustration, it still reflects poor judgment and a lack of emotional control. In a professional environment, leaders are expected to handle stress without demeaning others. Therefore, while it may not be intentional maltreatment, the impact on employees is still harmful, and it could reasonably be viewed as verbal mistreatment.
3. Will you be influenced by the Manager?
Answer: No.
As a responsible employee, I would not be influenced by the manager purely out of emotion or loyalty. Instead, I would base my judgment on facts and fairness. While I acknowledge that what Lucas said was wrong and unprofessional, I also believe in giving people the chance to explain themselves. Filing a case should be based on the actual harm done and whether there is a pattern of such behavior,not just a single outburst.
If the manager is pushing others to file a case purely out of personal insult or anger without considering the full context, I would be cautious and maintain objectivity. Everyone deserves a fair process, including Lucas.
