Ethics in the Workplace
Analyze 2 of the following ethical scenarios:
Although John is an honest employee who never takes money
from the company cash box, he uses the company car to run personal errands
while making sales-rounds. Is this unethical behavior? If so, why? If not, why
not?
Betty is a high producing, devoted employee who might work
overtime in an emergency. She tells her boss that she got caught in traffic
upon arriving late the next day, when in fact, she overslept. Is this unethical
behavior? If so, why? If not, why not?
Suzy is a sympathetic employee who knows a co-worker is
operating a small business on the side (often using company office equipment
and paper) but says nothing. Is this unethical behavior? If so, why? If not,
why not?
Noticing her supervisor, a young married man, taking her
co-worker, Joanna, who was divorced, home two nights in succession, Diane
decided something was going on between them. Without any malicious intent,
Diane introduced the matter into the local grapevine and, as so often happens,
the rumor got out of hand. Is this unethical behavior? If so, why? If not, why
not?
