ETHICS. A fresh MBA graduate, Soun, gets a job in a prestigious industrial business.
They like the work. The salary is good. However, after a few months they accidentally
discover that highly toxic waste is being secretly discharged into the nearby Duwamish
River. This is causing health problems to the local community including local indigenous
peoples tribeland, both of whom work or depend on the river for water needs. Soun is
concerned and mentions their apprehension to their colleagues who have been with the
business for longer tenures. Souns colleagues advise them to keep quiet as any team
member who mentions the topic is immediately terminated from their employment.
Soun cannot afford to lose their job as they are the sole breadwinner in their
partnership, and their family depends on them as do Souns partners ailing parents.
Soun struggles internally and thinks if their senior colleagues are not blowing the
whistle while should they; but Souns conscience begins to tug at them and Soun is
concerned about the people the toxic waste is affecting, and how their families depend
on the water quality. They are torn, and consider your advice prudent. What
arguments would you advance to Soun to show them that keeping silent is unethical
and not morally right? What legal course of actions can Soun take and what
consequences, remedies, and protections are available to them?
