Course Descrption (4 credits)
What’s the right thing to do when as an employee you witness illegal actions? Whose interests should take priority in pricing and hiring decisions? What choices can you make when your supervisor tells you to ignore company policy? Employees sometimes face situations such as these that suggest a conflict between being a good employee and being a good person. We will study several approaches to ethical decision making in conjunction with the Washington State Ethics law, case studies, films, and short fiction in order to clarify issues faced at work. This course meets in conjunction with the program Ethics in the Workplace: Theory and Practice.
