Assignment 2: Making Ethical Choices

COM180 Making Ethical Choices Video (Music playing) (Video game sounds) Brian: Yes! In your face, sucka! Regina: You okay? Brian: Never better. Regina: Hmm. How’s the quarterly coming? Brian: Aces. Just wrappin’ up right now. Regina: Nice jacket. Your birthday? Brian: Uh, a vendor gave it to me. Regina: A vendor? Brian: Yeah, reps always give me free stuff. Regina: We’re not supposed to take gifts. Brian: She insists. ′Cause I take her to lunch all the time. And for drinks.

Strictly business, though. I think she plays for the other team, if you catch my meaning.

Regina: You read the memo. The expense account for that kind of thing is frozen.

Brian: Yeah, I know. That’s why I take it out of the petty cash account. Regina: You’re not supposed to use petty cash for that. Brian: Yeah, I know. I prefer to use it for movies, and Starbucks, and whatnot. Regina: That money is not for your personal expenses. That’s like stealing. In

fact, it is stealing. Brian: Oh, who’s being petty now? You never take any paper? Or pencils?

Never spend two hours sniping away on eBay? Regina: No. Brian: Well, you should. Ease the tension during these tough economic times.

Just ask the boss, he is always playing golf these days. Regina: You mean like the customer tournament in September and the other

last spring? Brian: Exactly. He wants to be the next Tiger Woods. Who I love by the way!

But ever since he slipped in, you can’t even get a decent tee time anymore what with all the Tiger wannabes out there. Which is great—

don’t get me wrong. Where they’re getting the money, I don’t even want to know.

Regina: Uh-huh. Anyway. Is that your quarterly printing? Brian: Oh, actually, that is my kid’s school report. Thanks.

Alright, sucka, prepare to be schooled.
