Document Summary
Consequences should be considered in a broad context- both from a time perspective and from the various stakeholder perspectives. There is a natural tendency to emphasize the short term because those consequences will occur quickly even if long term may be more important e. g. if bryan decides to work additional hours and not report them. Long term- face ethical dilemmas in his career as he advances such as. At one extreme, bryan can decide that the only relevant consequence is the potential impact on his career and choose to do nothing acting on self-interest which is inappropriate and/or unethical. At another extreme, bryan can decide to refuse to work for a firm that permits even one supervisor to violate firm policies. This is na ve and not helpful in resolving the practice. In the middle of these two ends, bryan decides to speak up. May be intimidating to speak directly to karen.
