ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses a wide range of dilemmas that employees face such as accepting gifts, dealing with sexual harassment, managing confidential information, surreptitiously obtaining information from competitors, and following instructions required by one to mislead customers. In the process, it examines the general issues of when we are responsible for the unethical behavior of others, the role of autonomy in the workplace, the meaning of confidentiality, and the age-old question of whether it can ever be ethical to lie.
