Organizations are expected to encourage ethical behavior among their employees. Most companies do; unfortunately, some do not. Imagine that you work as a salesperson for one of these unethical companies. Your employer not only encourages unethical behavior but he or she bases your review and compensation upon your compliance with these practices through a system commonly referred to as “rank-and-yank.”
Your manager has made it clear that neither poor performance nor questions about the company’s business practices will be tolerated. You know the manager is not bluffing; you have seen coworkers who openly disagreed with company policy be bullied and intimidated by management, or ultimately fired. You know you have to play by the company’s rules if you want to get ahead keep your job—even if that means going against what you know is right. If you are like most people, losing your job will cause a hardship. Therefore, you might be tempted to rationalize behavior you would not otherwise accept in yourself or others.
Prepare your answer incorporating the following. Do not answer in question and answer format. Use graduate level writing style, and prepare an essay.
How might you rationalize your behavior if you worked for this company?
Also be sure to discuss the following points:
Does it matter if you are a single parent with two children in college, or a head of household who has was downsized and out of work for over a year?
Would it matter if these practices were being investigated for their legality?
Who, ultimately, holds accountability for your actions as an employee?
Use literature to support your observations and opinions. Whether you are a manager or a leader, or both, you will rely upon more than opinion to make decisions.
