You have just graduated from DeVry University Online and have landed your first job as

a contract consultant for a web development company. You will work as a consultant

through a temporary service for a period of six months, and then, if all goes well, you will

be offered a permanent position with benefits. Your wife of two years is very excited,

and she is working in a dead-end position for a man who has been harassing her for the

last four months. And furthermore, as soon as you get benefits, she would like to start

having a family. You are a very motivated employee.

In month four of your six-month probation, you receive a new assignment from your

boss. The assignment is to set up a website which explains how to procure various

different chemicals and substances as well as link to another site online where individuals

may legally purchase anhydrous ammonia. You realize within minutes that you’ve been

assigned to create a website to help people produce crystallized methamphetamines, a

legal and illegal black-market drug.

You’ve selected to approach your boss with the assignment and hesitantly ask for an

appointment to discuss it. Your boss, a rather distant and nasty man, gives you a thumbs

down and says, “Ugh, I’m busy. Go get the assignment done! The client prepaid it, and

it’s a rush order.” You look down at the paper and see the gold star in the corner, which

means it is to be done within 24 hours.

As the employee, what do you do? Type in your solution, and then check it against the

three sample solutions. Do you agree with the sample solutions or do you disagree? Feel

free to discuss the differences and similarities or any questions you have about this in the

threads this week.
