ETHICAL DILEMMA

Mr. Ashok and Mr. Roy are very close friends and have known each other for 10 years. Roy and Ashok used to work in the same company but 6 months before, Roy joined another company.

12/3/2005……. Phone call ringing….
Roy: Hello Ashok, can you meet me tomorrow evening there is a serious issue I am facing.
Ashok: You sound serious, but I am afraid, I can pay you time tomorrow. Is it possible to meet this weekend?
Roy: Yes, no problem. See you then this weekend.

The day of meeting……..

Ashok: Hi Roy, please come in
Roy: Good morning.
Ashok: You seem to be quite serious, any problem.
Roy: Yes, I am having some. There is an issue where I am directly in conflict with the interests of my boss. I am at a total loss about whom to listen to, in this proposition.
I think I will not challenge the boss. It's difficult and risky to question for an employee asking about the appropriateness of his boss. As an internal employee, I feel that speaking up could've had political or even career-derailing consequences.
Ashok: If I would be in your position I'd also feel that it's a greater potential risk to my credibility to be perceived as a traitor for the company. But I think your stance must be consistent with company's standards on Ethics and Integrity, which states that we must not mix our personal things with professional standards. Let me share my brother’s experience, Sameer.

3 years before:-

Mr. Sameer Sharma was working as a Credit Manager in the Processing Cell of a leading public sector bank. He was working in this domain for past 20 years and had vast experience in sanctioning loan proposals. He had been awarded by the bank for his great performance in credit

    Occasionally my boss will lead in the participative approach to leadership. He will ask my opinion on things and always encourages me to come up with my own ideas… although new ideas have to be run by him before I can use them.

    With business in constant competition, losing an employee to a competitor could pose threat to the success of a company with the knowledge a former employee brings the competitor. Ethics, by contrast, is defined as the principles and standards of moral behavior that are accepted by society as right verses wrong. (Bovee, Thill & Mescon. 2007 pg. 63) The knowledge one possesses to make a right choice or at least the best choice from among competing alternatives, individuals must think through the consequences of their actions. There are many types of knowledge that may be shared that are considered ethical while others not so ethical.…

    Nietzsche and Saussure show in their articles that the speaker or viewpoint is what leads to the illusions of rhetoric causing misunderstanding to persuade society. Society today lives off these illusions of rhetoric Nietzsche states that “The art of dissimulation reaches its peak in humankind, where deception, flattery, lying and cheating, speaking behind the backs of others, keeping up appearances, living in borrowed finery, wearing masks, the drapery of convention, play-acting for the benefit of others and oneself.” (Nietzsche 142) This shows that society today lives off deceit and have become accustomed to spitting out false news than telling the truth. These lies are what leads to the illusions or misunderstandings in society. The interesting…

    I do think that the psychology theory is the most believable, mainly because most of the people of that time got paranoid very easily and hysteria set in very easily to. I’ll give some examples for one, once the hysteria set in mob violence and a lot of killing would take place. What did not help either was the fact that when there were problems with the overall town it was blamed on the governor. So what the governor would do is go along with what people said when they called witchcraft, because all the blame would be placed on that person and off of the governor.…
