ACTIVITY - Scenario's

Review the following dilemma’s and explain what you would do and why for each of them in your workbook. 

1. You’re a summer intern and see your coworker using client data for personal projects. Reporting them might get them fired, but staying silent could harm the company. What do you do?

2. You are new to the job and are asked to lie to the client about their project that will end up costing them more money. What do you do? 

3. You see a peer post a private rant on their “close friends” story about their boss at a placement site. Another student screenshots it and shares it with others. Now it is circulating around school. Who is responsible here - the person who posted it or the person who spread it? What do you do?

4. You’re scheduled to work a shirt at your part-time job, but a friend asks you to call in sick so you can go to a movie together. You don’t feel sick, but you’re also not essential for that shift. Is it unethical to lie to your employer if it doesn’t hurt anyone? What would you do?
