Business Ethics





Ryan:Kendall from corporate HR is on line one and Holly is on her way in too.
Michael:What's the only thing worse than one HR rep?
Ryan:Two HR reps.
Michael:You get me.
Holly:Can I sit?
Michael:I don't know. Can you? Kendall, my main man.
Kendall:[on speakerphone] Listen, Holly, Michael, I just got the report that your branch submitted and there's a lot of stuff about a relationship Meredith is having with..
Holly:Yes, that came out during the ethics seminar.
Michael:Let the record show that it was during the immunity part of the seminar.
Kendall:Well, I'm not sure these circumstances warrant any action.
Holly:Oh, I think it is pretty clear that it was unethical.
Kendall:Well, from what I can gather it seems like a gray area. Look, to be honest the company is getting a discount at a tough time in our balance sheet and I don't know that the right thing to do for the company is to turn our noses up at that.
Holly:Umm, Kendall, I understand that the discount is good for the company but I'm just not happy about the way we are getting it.
Kendall:I thought it was clear with you, Holly. Your task was to get signatures from the employees showing that they completed the training.
Holly:No, I understand.
Kendall:Every other branch has managed to get this to us so if it's not something you can handle then that's a different discussion.
Holly:No. I can do it.
Kendall:Good.
