Assignment:
Daniel Dual has accepted a new position at another firm that will commence in two months. His current supervisor, Barbara Brutal, who he considers to be harsh and unpleasant, has given him a new and important assignment that will take four months to complete. The project will culminate in a presentation in London and is important to the future of Daniel's current firm.
Company policy requires two-week's notice. If Daniel complies with this policy, he will have only two months to complete a four-month project. When Daniel leaves the firm, the project will be only half- completed, causing his colleagues and subordinates to face a significantly reduced likelihood of a successful outcome.
Daniel is concerned with the possible ramifications of informing Barbara Brutal immediately of his scheduled departure from the firm.
1. Describe the ethical quandary. Consider the reasons Daniel is (or should be) conflicted.
2. List the important players and stakeholders.
3. List three options for action. Determine the advantages and disadvantages of each for the parties mentioned in (2).
4. Decide on an approach. What advice would you give Daniel?
