TAP PHARMACEUTICALS
In the culture of TAP and its ethical procedures the company was misalign. Durand was used to a different way of cultural ethical procedures involving a sense of working in a healthy environment where accountability of actions were being uphold by everyone at his workplace. In occasions companies offer great incentives but not reporting what exactly is required of an employee. In this matter TAP was involving employees, professionals and the Government in an established fraud hiding the reality of what the companies culture was really about. The money laundry, drug sales and not to mention the customers and their health. The misalignment of the company was not being ethically with the federal laws and regulations since the health and drug administration have guidelines that must be followed to ensure that customers are getting the right medications. Durand tried his best to change that culture of abuse and criminal acts by adding some of his ideas to continue with his ethical perspective of how a company should be ruined without lies and following a moral statue for the good of everyone. In cases of this nature employees are tested to their limits with monetary or higher incentives easy to accept but do not understand the importance of being ethical. An individual should always be align with what is right at all time Durand did what he could he knew all alone that TAP was not a company he could work for regardless of any amount offered to him since others will be paying the price. A company as this one, once it becomes under fire does not care about their elite employees all they care for is their own well-being.
