Discuss whether this case represents an ethical dilemma (high or low moral intensity) and the extent to which the main people involved in the incident acted ethically. Case 2 A 16-year-old hired as an office administrator at a small import services company started posting her thoughts about the job on her Facebook site. After her first day, she wrote: first day at work. omg!! So dull!! Two days later, she complained all i do is shred holepunch n scan paper!!! omg! Two weeks later she added im so totally bord!!! These comments were intermixed with the other usual banter about her life. Her Facebook site did not mention the name of the company where she worked. Three weeks after being hired, the employee was called into the owners office, where he fired her for the comments on Facebook, then had her escorted from the building. The owner argues that these comments put the company in a bad light and her display of disrespect and dissatisfaction undermined the relationship and made it untenable.
