Tornado girl...


Last week’s episode of Ugly Betty also has a truly valuable lesson. Those who follow this series know very well that Betty Suarez is a remarkable girl, she may be simple, but she is intelligent, hard working, always care for others, and most important of all Ugly Betty is Beautiful Inside.
In last week’s episode, Betty was accused for taking advantage of a tornado that had plundered somewhere in America to sell off Mode. Well, unfortunately, this happened because the front cover of Mode magazine was designed with the tornado motif. So she was dubbed the Tornado Girl, and everyone saw her as an irreverent opportunist.
The company was having monetary problems and ways must be found to boost up sales and save the company, and so Daniel and the scheming Wilhemina ( the ever beautiful Vanessa Williams) decided to go on with printing of Mode magazine, and put the blame on poor Betty.
When she learnt later that it was her boss Daniel Meade who had obscurely ordered the printing of Mode with the tornado front cover in anticipation of boosting sales, she was dismalled that it was her own boss who had put her to blame for the odious printing.
However, she was a girl of full esteem, and she met up with Daniel and said, “I am your assistant, but I do not want to be an assistant forever. The only thing I have is my reputation, and thanks to you, I don’t have it anymore.” (well, something like that).
This made Daniel uneasy , and his guilt made him confess in a press-conference that it was his fault after all……
There is valuable lesson in this story for employers or executives who are sincerely looking for ethical managerial enlightenment. If they are sincere.
