Scenario: The Layoff
Pat is the plant manager at one of ABC Company’s five plants. She has been with the company for 15
years and worked her way up from the factory floor after the company sponsored her college education.
Recently, her boss confided in her that the company will need to lay off 200 workers due to financial
difficulties. While her job is secure, rumors about potential layoffs are spreading within the plant.
One day, an employee who is also an old friend approaches Pat and asks, “Pat, is the plant shutting
down? Am I going to lose my job? My family and I are supposed to close on a new house next week,
and I need to know if I should back out.”
Pat now faces a serious ethical dilemma. If she tells the truth, she is betraying the company’s trust and
could face disciplinary action. However, if she remains silent or lies, she may be hurting her friend, who
could make a financial decision based on false assumptions.
Answer the following questions:
1. Should Pat prioritize loyalty to the company or honesty to her friend? Why? (2.5 Marks)
