Did you resolve the ethical issue at work, or will you resolve to solve the problem head-on in 2008?
Is there a price to pay for ethics on the job?
Is there a logical solution to resolving issues of conscience at work?

Yes I have.
I was a driver for a distribution company. I was given an "assistant" to help me with the route.
I am White, the assistant was black. All the other drivers (you need a commercial drivers license to drive these trucks) were black. If it's not clear, I was the only white driver.
Each driver has a route, and the driver gets hourly pay AS WELL as a commission from the route. The assistant only gets hourly wage. This is because the driving position requires a skilled and licensed person.
My route was the exception. My "assistant" got the commission, not me. This was the only exception to the commission going to the driver.
I was told that when the next "Route" opened up I'd get it and the commission. Several routes opened up.. and they simply hired new black drivers...
I had more experience than any of the other drivers... I hung around for a while to see how far it would go...
Oh yeah... all my supervisors were black. Hmmmm.....

My husband and I work together. He's the only ethical problem I have and the only way to work it out is divorce. I don't like being yelled at, cussed out, degraded and blamed for everything that goes wrong, even when he caused the problem.

Don't ask, don't tell: the motto of the military and law firms, and I'm not referring to gays or lesbians.
In the military you keep you mouth shut. The price for complaining about billing ethics, at law firms, is shunning from partners and timely termination, due of course, to down-sizing: one less attorney, but only until your replacement is hired. Most attorneys are not stupid: they keep their mouths shut and follow the "Vegas Policy" of what goes on at the office stays at the office. Lawyers practice law, not ethics.

Yes I have and lost my job over it, but I know I did the right thing and so I never regretted it and if put in the same situation again would respond the exact same way.
