an ethical Dilemma* Julius started working for Simple LLP, a local accounting firm, a few years ago. With a bachelors and masters degree under his belt, he was an attractive recruit. Julius was promoted from staff to senior accountant. He was very charismatic and was friends with everyone at the firm. He often found himself in conversation with his coworkers. One of his good friends at the firm, Bobby, talked to Julius about his recent fishing adventures. Julius, being a big fisherman himself, indulged Bobby in the conversation for a long period of time. Recently, a new staff accountant, Samantha, was hired and placed under Juliuss supervision. Samantha was fresh out of school, so Julius spent a good amount of time training her. Julius and Samantha quickly became good friends. Sometimes Samantha would play office pranks on Julius. Soon afterward, the whole office joined in, starting an ongoing prank war. Julius and Samantha, along with other coworkers, would frequently grab lunch together. Julius started to grow fond of Samantha and tried to suggest they go to lunch alone, but Samantha always invited other coworkers to go with them. Sometimes Julius even tried to leave work at the same time as Samantha so that he could walk with her to her car. Samantha started to feel uncomfortable and tried to leave when she thought Julius wasnt looking. One night, the whole office went downtown to a bar to celebrate the finish of their most recent project. Julius left straight from work and went to the bar, so he didnt have time to change and showed up still wearing his Simple LLP shirt. His friend Bobby came up to him when he arrived and told Julius that he needed to do something crazy to post on TikTok later. Julius loved to make and watch TikTok's to keep up with the trends. He spent on average 15 minutes every hour swiping through TikTok videos while at work. At the bar, Julius had a few drinks. He joked and laughed with all of his coworkers but paid special attention to Samantha. He sat closer and closer to Samantha to the point where Bobby couldnt help but notice. Bobby pulled Julius aside and suggested that Julius give Samantha a kiss on the cheek to see if she liked him back. Bobby explained he would film it on video. That way Julius could post it later that night on TikTok. Julius agreed to the plan and walked back over to where he was sitting next to Samantha. After getting a thumbs-up from Bobby, Julius tried to kiss Samantha on the cheek. Samantha quickly pulled away in surprise. Samantha didnt appreciate what Julius did, but she laughed it off because she feared it could affect her good standing at work if she spoke her mind
