1. What should Peter do? Should he submit a false discount claim on the Peabody account?
• Peter shouldn’t submit a false discount claim on the Peabody account. I believe
he should follow his beliefs of being an honest person and possibly tell top
management of the theft within the company.
2. What can he do?
• Peter can go along with Murphy and lie and not lose his job at that particular
moment but could risk legal actions in the future. Or he could tell top
management of the events because I’m sure they would like to know if the
company is losing money.
3. What would Murphy say?
• If Peter decided to tell top management about the theft, I’m sure Murphy would
probably try to cover for himself and claim that the new guy (Peter) is a liar and
is the one who is stealing and making these deals.
4. Does a boss have a right to expect an employee to bend the rules if he or she sees fit to do
so?
• No, I don’t think the boss has the right to bend the rules especially in a theft
