Scenario: Following Rules Under Pressure
Mateo is working on a busy construction site. His supervisor told him to return power tools to locked storage when finished. Later, another worker tells Mateo to leave the tool out to save time. Mateo feels uncomfortable because he does not want to upset coworkers, but he also understands that safety rules exist for a reason. The crew is behind schedule, and everyone is feeling stressed. Mateo must decide whether to prioritize speed, peer approval, or site safety expectations.
