Case Study: You have been working for Alpha Management for almost two years. You are in the officeworking on Sunday to prepare for an important meeting the next day. After putting somePowerPoint slides together, you decide to print a copy for review. You leave your office andmake your way to the copy room, which serves as both a copy room and supply room. You canget common supplies (e.g., pens, paper, staples, etc.). Upon arriving to retrieve your copies, younotice your supervisor is in the copy/supply room. This seems a little unusual, especially sinceit's a weekend and you thought you were the only one in the office. After some ‘professionalsmall talk,' you notice he has been putting a large quantity of office supplies in his laptop case.Before you can ask him what he's doing, he quickly tells you that he has a home office where hedoes much of his weekend work. You have not heard of or seen a policy for taking officesupplies home. He then tells you that if you need any extra supplies, you can just take them,since you are probably doing some work at home. You don't take any supplies, but you thankhim for the offer. As you leave the copy/supply room, you see him putting some of the suppliesback on the shelves. On your drive home that afternoon, you think back to the situation, and itjust makes you feel uncomfortable. You then start trying to convince yourself that it's only pensand paper. Also, who knows, there may be some type of company policy that allows this. Yougo back to work on Monday, and the same supervisor comes to your office and asks how therest of your weekend was; he has not done that before. What do you do? Do you report thisactivity through the chain of command? (He's your direct supervisor.) Do you not reportbecause it's only small office supplies and, who knows, there may be some type of policy thatallows this for home office use? Do you sit down with him and discuss the situation? Do you donothing; it's no real issue and it's only pens and paper?
