There are lots of Unethical Actions that occur in a company. In September 2016, Wells Fargo was involved in a scandal that involved over 5,000 employees had made fake accounts and were eventually fired. There are 269,100 employees in the Wells Fargo organization, 2%, which is 5,300employees of the organization were let go. The Wells Fargo scandal had started in January of 2009 to September of 2016 and more fake accounts are still being made by Wells Fargo. There was so many employees involved in this scandal, therefore making it really bad for the company Wells Fargo. One of the reasons why the employees were fired from the scandal was because the people were feeling pressured to meet hard to reach performance goals. As the employees felt more anxiety, their ethical behavior became

The factors I will use to weigh in on reaching my decisions will be the evidence that is incriminating against Mr. Tim Defoy. Embezzlement is a serious charge against the superintendent over the school district. According to Forman (2017), "Embezzlement is defined as the misappropriation of funds for personal use by an entrusted individual. Studies do show that most embezzlers work alone, too many people working on the same task makes it much easier to be caught." In this case, Mr. Defoy was the only person that had been accused of the crime. I will have to investigate how long do the reports show the misappropriation of the public funds. I will also have to rule out everyone in that office at the time because Mr. Defoy was caught that does not mean anyone else was apart of the scheme. Once I

Many companies have ethical decisions that need to be and sometimes those decisions can affect many individuals or just a few. Making ethical decisions may be placed solely on one person’s shoulders or it may be a decision that multiple individuals must be involved in. There are several ethical issues in the Richardson Drilling case that should be considered. For instance, bribery, purchasing substandard parts with lack of disclosure that causes injuries, and revealing sensitive information. One potential ethical concern that could arise has to do with ongoing health insurance and the employer’s responsibility.

In Marshawn case, shortly after being hired, after meeting with his supervisor, he encountered a code of ethics violations by Clive Jenkins, his supervisor, the actions of other coworkers at Treton, made his environment hostile, both

Walking down the aisles of your local drugstore, you are bound to see rows and rows of supplements and vitamins. Many would be curious about them and their touted super health benefits, but few would actually spend the money to try one of these supplements. In some cultures, these supplements are ingested as part of a daily, natural diet, leading researchers to find why these cultures have lower instances of certain diseases. For example, villages in Northern Alaska have an incredibly low instances of heart diseases, despite having predominantly fatty diets. Researchers have found this to be due to a diet rich in fish and seal [8]. Because I am interested in village medicine in Alaska as a career, and my majors are Biochemistry and Environmental and Outdoor Education, I will detail the effects of seal oil. I am going to discuss how the structure of seal oil and unsaturated

Unethical behavior…sounds bad doesn’t it? But what employee can truly say that he is completely innocent of any unethical behavior in the workplace? Some of the most common unethical business behaviors are fudging work hours, making phone calls on business lines and photo copying of personal paperwork. Simple acts such as these are highly unlikely to have an employee face criminal charges but when the acts of embezzling money or falsifying business records are committed a company is more apt to prosecute. People have different views regarding what is ethical and what is unethical. Some feel that it’s

In the United States, billions of emails are sent from any business regarding the business done, and sometimes things that aren’t business at all. I’m talking about things such as company sports, company games, or even company free time. Because of this, many companies’ these days monitor their employees’ emails in order to discourage the use of company time for leisure work. These seemingly random checks can tell the company when and/or how an employee has misused their time and misused the companies’ resources for their own gain. According to Halbert and Ingulli, employers have had a long history of interest in scrutinizing their workforces (Halbert & Ingulli, 2006, p. 87). Today, “spying” on their employees has been made many times easier due to technology. Monitoring emails

The bottom of the cup is blackened and the water was emptied from the cup.

Every person has the right to privacy, and this right must be extended to the workplace.

Employees will act ethically only when it's in their best behavior. Capitalistic and American culture dictates the competitive nature of its citizens and business, so to expect a non-competitive or cooperative culture when dealing with relative terms such as ethics is to ignore reality. Assuming a company is unethical because it does not develop specific ethical programs lacks trust and faith in the community. Large scale and sweeping rule changes add very little to the

After reviewing all the information provided, Allen Lopez should not be able to keep his job. He stated he was protecting the lower level employees which means he was practicing utilitarianism by making sure everyone is happy and deontology by explaining he felt it was his duty. However, after rereading the scenario, he was really practicing egoism; he was more worried he may lose his job and protecting his own job by airing out the company’s dirty laundry. Employees should build a relationship and empathize with the situation which is described under the under care ethics (Sadler, 2011).

In the workplace as well as one’s personal life is essential for ethics to be maintained; often taking the right action is not always the most popular choice. It is important for maintaining an upstanding ethical code of conduct to be a productive individual as well as function as an employee in the workplace.

Analysis: When dealing with employees, there is always the possibility of dishonesty. Wages may be exaggerated, time clocks altered, sick or leave days abused, or there may be theft involved. However, allegations of theft are not at all the same as being able to legally dismiss or prosecute for theft in the workplace.

In the case study of the Dilemma at Devil’s Den, we have a student snack bar Devil’s Den, which was managed by contract with an external company College Food Services (CFS) that had many organizational challenges that needed to be immediately addressed. An employee Susan realized these challenges. One of the main many problems was the theft that was going on for a long time. The employees were allowing their friends to take free food, and they themselves were also taking food in large quantities when leaving their shifts. The storage room could be easily accessible as it was unlocked all the time. Employees took advantage of this situation to take free freebies from the storage
