Question

While working on your homework for this course and surfing the Internet to check out all the fascinating links, you realize the person who manages the branch of the new durable medical equipment company (DMExcellence) where you work looks just like someone on the OIG Most Wanted list. He even has the same first name! And he has a wife who looks like the woman on the list with him! While you really need this new job to help pay your way through school, you have a sinking feeling all is not good at DMExcellence. What do you do?

Explanation / Answer

It is a case of ethical dilemma. The person in the case has to decide whether he has to take the moral approach or practical approach. The practical approach is about the fulfillment of personal needs whatever might be the way to fulfill it. The moral approach will inhibit such action of fulfilling personal needs in unethical way. The person to whom the subject wants to work for is in the list of OIG Most Wanted person. The subject must follow the rational approach. He must confirm the facts about the person from the reliable sources. The person is the same person or it is merely congruence. The person is convicted by the court of justice is not. If it has been observed that the person is really a fugitive, then the subject may think of leaving the person. Before taking such action, the subject must try to find some other option otherwise his school will be suffered. After getting some new assignment at other place, the subject may leave the person.
