As a young engineer in the transmission division of a large automotive company, you are given an engineering assignment that originated in the engine division. Your supervisor is experienced and has a good idea of what the engineer in the engine division wants. Your solution is not what your supervisor expected, and he or she asks you to change your report. What do you do?

a. Fully discuss the issues with your supervisor, and if you sincerely feel that you are right, then do not change your report.

b. As long as your supervisor assumes responsibility for your report, then change it as requested.

c. Since you are not very experienced, change your report as long as the changes are still correct engineering practice.

d. Report your supervisor’s behavior to the human resources office as harassment.
