Question

I am doing a report on ethics in the workplace and need some examples of ethical dilemmas or ethical wrongs in the working world. Anyone have any to share?

Answer 1

When SARS hit a few years back I got into an argument with my boss about a colleague who had gone for a holiday to Quandong (China - forgive me if that is spelt incorrectly). She'd gone despite the warnings and come straight back to work upon her return. I thought that until more was known about just how dangerous this thing was, or at least until they knew how it was transmitted, she should not be allowed to come back to work without a suitable quarantine period. My boss disagreed, as it was "probably all a media beat-up anyway", and the colleague couldn't be given paid leave and shouldn't be penalised for something which was beyond her control (I debated that point too).

Yes in retrospect it probably was a bit of a beat-up, but we couldn't know that then, and I thought it was unacceptable that I was being exposed to any risk at all, no matter how minimal. Strangely enough my contract was not renewed...but I'm not bitter any more, really!

I hope that's the kind of thing you're after, sounds like an interesting project.

hmmmmmmmmm i hpe this helps u
One of the most difficult trials I face in my life are ethical and moral
dilemmas. They can be soul-wrenching and searching experiences that tax my
character and cause me to really "put my money where my mouth is." Sometimes
I'm quick to see ethical faults in others, but slow to see them in myself.
Other times I see all to clearly my mistakes and wonder why I don't measure up.
I believe one purpose for this life is to learn to act for ourselves. Learn to
see a situation correctly and act righteously. In this paper I wish to discuss
many of the thoughts I have had recently on setting a pattern for making ethical
decisions throughout my life. I will present many of the traps I have fallen
into or observed in others.

Everyday I'm faced with decisions of right and wrong, most of which are
easily and correctly dealt with. Sometimes however, decisions need to be made
that are not easy or clear-cut. They require thought and often prayer. I like
to draw on past experience to make comparisons that help give insight to new
problems. Many times, however past experiences cannot be related to present
problems and can confuse and obscure possibilities. Even the opinions or
actions of friends faced with similar dilemmas may not be helpful. Often you
feel pressured by piers that say, "it's no big deal", or "you'll understand
later". It's important that I understand why a particular action or resolution
is correct or incorrect. I
