Ethics Case Studies What would you do?
Two of your subordinates routinely provide their children with school supplies from the office. How do you handle this situation? Potential Answers A. Lock up the supplies and issue only as needed and signed for. B. Tell these two subordinates that supplies are only for office use. C. Report the theft of supplies to the head of security. D. Send a notice to all employees that office supplies are for office use only and that disregard will result in disciplinary action. #1  Office Supplies
Answer A: Lock up the supplies and issue only as needed and signed for. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  -5 points This response is an example of locking everybody up; therefore, there can be no more crime. Not an efficient way to work either. NEXT
Answer B: Tell these two subordinates that supplies are only for office use. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  10 points This response is directed at solving the immediate problem. But isn't this only the tip of an iceberg? Are there more pilferers? NEXT
Answer C: Report the theft of supplies to the head of security. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  -5 points While technically correct - this response is overkill. NEXT
Answer D: Send a notice to all employees that office supplies are for office use only and that disregard will result in disciplinary action. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  10 points This is a solution aimed at the immediate problem and any continuing problem. A reiteration of the policies of the company for comprehensive understanding. NEXT
An employee in a machine shop objects to the type of music that is played on the shop radio all day long. The shop supervisor has informally polled all the employees in the shop, and the majority favor the music currently played. The aggrieved employee appeals to you, the division manager, for help. What do you do? Potential Answers A. You don't like the current music either, so you order the supervisor to play other kinds of music. B. Since the majority favor the music currently played, you do nothing. C. You are tired of hearing complaints about music, so you order the supervisor to remove the radio. D. Suggest to the supervisor that he consider playing different music periodically, e.g. one day per week. #2 - Different tastes in music
Answer A: You don't like the current music either, so you order the supervisor to play other kinds of music. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  -5 points Forcing a unilateral decision on the shop is unfair--and will probably decrease productivity. NEXT
Answer B: Since the majority favor the music currently played, you do nothing. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  0 points A defendable stance. However, it doesn't help the minority of employees who object to the music. NEXT
Answer C: You are tired of hearing complaints about music, so you order the supervisor to remove the radio. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  -10 points The easy way out, but it doesn't solve the problem nor do much for morale. NEXT
Answer D: Suggest to the supervisor that he consider playing different music periodically, e.g., one day per week. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  10 points The best solution with enough flexibility to allow everyone to feel a sense of satisfaction. NEXT
You are aware that a fellow employee uses drugs on the job. Another friend encourages you to confront the person instead of informing the supervisor. What do you do? Potential Answers A. You speak to the alleged user and encourage him to get help. B. You elect to tell your supervisor that you suspect an employee is using drugs on the job. C. You confront the alleged user and tell him either to quit using drugs or you will "turn him in". D. Report the matter to employee assistance.  #3  Drug Use on the Job
Answer A: You speak to the alleged user and encourage him to get help. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  5 points May do some good. NEXT
Answer B: You elect to tell your supervisor that you suspect an employee is using drugs on the job. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  5 points May do some good. NEXT
Answer C: You confront the alleged user and tell him either to quit using drugs or you will "turn him in. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  0 points Too confrontational. NEXT
Answer D: Report the matter to employee assistance. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  10 points Gets the right people involved in solving the problem. NEXT
You are a quality inspector. After making your own calculations, you disagree with your supervisor as to the acceptable quality of the item you have been asked to pass through. With a rolled-up newspaper in his hand, your supervisor swings it in your direction, hitting the back of the chair you are sitting in. What do you do? A. Swing back at him B. State unequivocally that such behavior is unacceptable in business and advise him you intend to take this matter up with the manager, to whom you both report. C. Get up and go straight to the Equal Opportunity Employment office. D. Since the boss says, "I was only joking," you ignore the act.  #4  Aggression from a Supervisor
Answer A: Swing back at him. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  -10 points Why stoop to his level?. NEXT
Answer B: State unequivocally that such behavior is unacceptable in business and advise him you intend to take this matter up with the manager, to whom you both report Lockheed Martin's Comment:  10 points Not only will this response get the item a third-party inspection, but it will also put your supervisor on notice that you don't accept his action. NEXT
Answer C: Get up and go straight to the EEO office. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  5 points This is your privilege, but it doesn't solve the quality problem. NEXT
Answer D: Since the boss says, 'I was only joking,' you ignore the act. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  -5 points Intimidation unchecked is intimidation encouraged. Lack of response will encourage this sort of behavior to expand.  NEXT
At a management offsite meeting, you and your boss are in the same golf foursome, but on opposite sides. The boss never likes to lose. How is your game that day? A. Smile and say to yourself: "I'm better than my boss, so I'm going to win." B. "I will play cautiously, one hole at a time." C. "Beating the boss is no big deal, so I don't mind losing." D. "She plays her game, I play my game. Low score wins." #5  Playing Against the Boss in Sports
Answer A: Smile and say to yourself: "I'm better than my boss, so I'm going to win." Lockheed Martin's Comment:  5 points No one will fault you for being competitive. But play the round in a friendly way, not an arrogant way. FINISH
Answer B: I will play cautiously, one hole at a time. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  -5 points What does that mean? That you'll throw the round if she's slipping behind? FINISH
Answer C: Beating the boss is no big deal, so I don't mind losing. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  -10 points What else can your boss expect you to throw? FINISH
Answer D: She plays her game, I play my game. Low score wins. Lockheed Martin's Comment:  10 points Isn't fair competition the whole purpose of sport? FINISH
Howd you do?  A perfect score is 50!
