Why did the ethical dilemma arise

Reference no: EM13120610

Manager: "If I can reduce my costs by $40,000 during this last quarter of 2011, my division will show a profit that is 10% above the planned level, and I will receive a bonus of $10,000. However, given the projections for the 4th Quarter, it does not look promising. I really need that $10,000. I know one way I can qualify; all I have to do is to lay off my three most experienced Sales executives. After all, most of the orders are in for the 4th Quarter, and I can always hire new Salespersons at the beginning of the next year.
Required
