Business Ethics
Meme It!Holly:So, regarding this supplier, approximately how many liaisons have there been?
Meredith:Liaisons, you mean meet-ups? I don't know, once a month for six years. Something like that.
Michael:Meredith, why don't you tell Holly... it's not what she thinks. Nothing unethical happened... and that you just like to sleep around.
Meredith:Am I in trouble here or something?
Michael:No... no, this is just a stupid formality.
Holly:No, it's not a formality. Now, were these, um, meet-ups just personal? Unrelated to business?
Meredith:Nah, I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for the discount paper. There's not a lot of fruit in those looms.
Micheal:Ughh! For the love of God we're trying to help you... stupid bag.
Holly:What I don't understand is... why the steak coupons? I mean, if you were already getting the discounted paper?
Meredith:Well it's funny. Maybe it's a girl thing, but after we did it, and he would give me those coupons, I just felt good about myself. [Holly begins to write in her notebook] Hey what's going on here? I thought I had immunity?
Holly:Well unfortunately immunity or something being off the record does not really exist in the workplace. I mean I've never heard of anyone who's kept their job after something like this.
Meredith:Well... I'm not quitting.
