Pat Walker, an employee at an automotive steel casting company, faces a significant ethical dilemma regarding the reporting of findings on an operating problem in wheel casting for a luxury automobile. Despite conclusive evidence contradicting her boss’s report, which falsifies data to support a predetermined hypothesis. Pat must decide whether to confront her boss or remain silent. The dilemma revolves around Pat’s obligation to uphold ethical standards of integrity and honesty in her hard work, while also considering potential consequences such as conflict within the team and career risks.Primary stakeholders including Pat herself, her boss, the VP of engineering, and customers, each with their viewpoints and stake in the decision. Analyzing the alternatives, Pat could choose to confront her boss about the falsified report, risking conflicts and career repercussions but upholding ethical principles. Alternatively, she could remain silent, preserving her relationship with her boss but compromising her integrity and honesty. Considering the risks and benefits, the most ethical choice Pat can make would be to confront her boss about the falsified report. By advocating for accuracy and honesty in reporting, Pat demonstrates her commitment to ethical standards and the company’s long-term reputation, despite potential short-term conflicts. Critics argue that they may prioritize loyalty to the company and career advancement over ethical considerations. However, this neglects the importance of integrity and honesty in maintaining trust with the stakeholders and upholding professional standards. Confronting the issue ethically remains the most justifiable action for Pat when it comes to this complex and unique situation.
