What’s the most significant moral or ethical dilemma you’ve dealt with?

For example let’s say you own a business or are an executive at a business and you find out your top sales guy, who is married, has been banging some of the staff chicks in the office. They don’t report to him and there is nothing in the policy that prevents them for hooking up. Do you fire the sales guy? But he’s the top guy and accounts for the vast majority of your sales. Without him the business will be significantly impacted. He married but who knows maybe they have an agreement? But probably don’t. A scenario like this.

Seems... oddly specific.

There is no dilemma there.

That's a tough one. I mean, there's some reasoning to mind your own biz and let him keep making you money. But it's also tough to work with slimeballs.

I'd probably shitcan him. There's way too much stuff that can get fricked up if he's mowing through all the famale staff. Eventually it's gong to make enough waves and become a significant problem.

That’s certainly an option.

Yep. As a business manager I don’t want any drama from in-house relationships. I’d fire all of them.

There’s plenty of people out there looking for jobs and hungry enough to become my “top sales guy”

You tell him to either let you join in on the gang bang or else his sales days there are over.


Use a little quid pro quo on his arse.

Have to agree. This is probably the wisest & most ethical move.

If you don't want to fire him, you could blackmail him with the evidence, threat of divorce etc. But that's not very ethical

A good friend of mine old lady was cheating on him and told my wife about the affair, and my wife told me.

This dude, is one of the best dudes I know, shirt off his back types. Has two kids. I wanted to tell him badly, but didn't know if he would snap and kill the whole family, or anything. So I sat on it. I regret doing that, but I did.

He found out later, that she cheated numerous times and he got divorced. After he told me that, I came clean about what I knew, and we really haven't spoken in years. I really wish I told him.

in your scenario sounds like you need to mind your own business. Like you said, he didnt break any rules or company policies. Let the dude sell.

Rules exist to mitigate risks to the company. Typically this is only an issue if the company may be at risk due to his behavior.(sexual harassment) Risk are often quantified differently for people who make the company millions of dollars.(mitigates risk with income)

I'd weight the sum of the equation. Chicks get scorned, some chicks are crazy.(see hot crazy matrix) If he's banging fairly normal chicks you might consider that less risky for turning the office into a shite show.

My supervisor at my first real job was an old, salty dude who had been at the top of the profession. Lost his high-flying gig and worked for our small company. He was an alcoholic and would leave the office to go whorin' on Thursdays and Fridays for several hours. I don't mean meeting his mistress; I mean going out on the street. One day he called me at the office and asked me to go into his office and retrieve the giant ziplock of dildoes and lube from his desk drawer and hide in the CFO's office before his wife popped in to snoop around. "She's on her way." I walked out to his office and there in the drawer was a cloudy ziplock bag of glass dildoes and lube. It was my first job and I'd worked hard to get it. I loved my job. Did I move it to the CFO's office???

Idk. I’d prob can him. Cant trust a guy like that. And If he’s ok with screwing his own family over then he’s def ok screwing you over, if/when the opportunity approaches itself.
