I feel like we talk a lot about ethics in business from a liberal standpoint - but what if that Colorado baker just really didn't want to make a cake for a gay wedding because they don't believe in equal marriage?

Like who gets to decide what’s moral and what’s ethical?

Do we have any generic certification policy at HCL for upskilling.

Not talking about project specific or where RM needs to approve, as this tech (cloud) is something I want to learn, not part of my day to day work.

Looking for motivation to get me to my first Alcohol rehab appointment.

Thoughts on the new Vegas slogan “What happens here, only happens here”?Apparently people hate it. I think it’s a good spin on the classic “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”

Ever since lockdown started, my tastes have become more simpler and needs more basic. Life is simpler than we make it

How do you thoughtfully instill ethics with leadership and have that trickle down to the rest of the organization?

I have been approached by one of the biggest global management consulting firm for a position that requires 2+ years of experience and in locations which were not on the table in screening with hiring manager. As someone who comes with 6+ years of global experience, how would you recommend managing the opportunity? Particularly, how should I engage with the HM and recruiter and keep the door open for future opportunities that match the value and experience I bring to the table? (Urgent help)

FT Manager requested for an additional PT subordinate. The workload keeps herself & her current FT subordinate working 50 hours a week. The GM denied, saying working 40-60 hrs is "expected". Thoughts?

Can a company that is seemingly unethical incorporate ethics into its operations? Take Exxon for an example - can it ever become ethical?

From what I understand, ethics is separate from legal. Legal violations have consequences, ethical violations don’t. What’s the point of ethics if there are no consequences? Sure when it’s convenient to be ethnical, everyone will be. It only matters when it’s not convenient. So should there be ethics set up with consequences like loss of job that applies evenly for everyone in the company including the CEO? Should their be financial consequences set up for smaller violations?

Hi everyone, wanted to come back and talk about the work environment at the Washington Redskins/Football Club -- the Washington Post story was pretty jaw dropping. One troubling angle was the use of NDAs to stifle victims. NDAs have for too long enabled bad behavior to continue, and it's time companies pledged to stop using NDAs in settlements with victims -- the coverup is worse than the bad acts. I think Warren torpedoed Bloomberg's campaign due to his use of NDAs. Thoughts?

Whew. It's been a busy morning, I've had a lot of fun responding to some fascinating questions around business and ethics for the last couple hours.

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.

Just wondering if anyone here has reported someone to Ethics, had the illegal or unethical behavior of the person been substantiated and STILL be retaliated by their company. Also please state if you followed the reporting policy and if your company has a non-retaliation policy

Question. Court case reveals a security breach of an associate. Should the firm be notified?

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

How do you justify the ethicality of Airbnbs often accelerating gentrification and housing inequity in many cities? Do you weigh it against the GDP brought in by travel?

With this pandemic, and the way it’s changing the economy (destroying companies), can a company afford to turn down business over moral objections.

Thoughts on large companies taking PPP loans?

How is AirBnB ethical when its business model exists through legal arbitrage? It has functionally created rental property service without being subject to the same taxes and liability insurance of a regular hotel company due to the dubious claim of “It’s on the web.”

What are your thoughts on company setting minimum pay rate expectations for a specific title and role, being promoted to that role, and not receiving the increased pay rate?

Lots of great discussion this afternoon...there are few objectively "right" answers in this area, and I'm impressed that everyone on the forum engages in vigorous but respectful debate.

Hi all - asking for advice for a friend who resigned from his job (w/o job lined up) due to unethical and likely fraudulent actions leadership were taking. He tried to reason with the leadership team (c-suite, small company), but had no effect, so resigned since he would have to execute on those unethical/fraudulent decisions. He was only at this company for 3mo. He's looking for a new job and trying to figure out: what does he say when interviewers ask him why he left? Thank you in advance!
