    Ethical Dilemma 1: Calling Employees after Hours

    You work as a manager for a family-owned, well-established and well-respected toy company.
    The owner, who is also you direct supervisor, frequently calls you after you have already left the
    office. His calls are never urgent, but he becomes very upset when you don’t answer the phone.
    Recently, his calls have become so numerous that they have started to interfere with and
    disrupt your personal life plans: you can't schedule a tennis workout or go to the movies if you
    want, knowing that these activities will be interrupted by phone calls from your boss.

    Task: Talk about how you would handle this problem with your superior.

    Ethical Dilemma 2: Tension in Teams

    You work as a project manager, and your team consists of three people. Having observed a
    certain tension in their interaction with each other, you notice that one of your team members
    is constantly rude and abrasive with the other two, and every conversation with him turns into
    an argument. As a result of this negative group dynamic, no shared project is ever completed.

    Task: Talk about how you would handle this problem in your team.

    Ethical Dilemma 3: Nepotism

    You are a front office manager at a prestigious luxury hotel. You need to hire an assistant guest
    services manager to help you with the reception desk staff. You have received many applications
    and found a perfect candidate to whom you would like to offer the job. However, the hotel’s
    Vice President pressures you to hire his 20- year old nephew who is in his second year of
    university majoring in Commerce.

    Task: Talk about how you would handle this hiring dilemma.

    Ethical Dilemma 4: Social Media: Distraction or Necessity?

    Social media can be a big distraction for all employees. Many employers block social media sites
    on company computers, but employees cannot be stopped from using their personal electronic
    devices and smartphones to access Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. This can make employees
    extremely distracted and unproductive.

    Task: Talk about your opinion on social media at work and how you will approach this dilemma
    in your own company or office.
