Parson was disturbed about the phone call for a number of reasons. The more he thought about Bartlett, the more he seemed to focus on Bartlett's lack of openness about himself with the executive team. Come to think of it, unlike the other executives and senior managers in the firm, Bartlett did not mix much socially. Further, Parson did not really know much about Bartlett and his family. Did he still have a problem? What would happen if Bartlett was confronted about this issue?

What bothered Parson the most was that Bartlett had hidden these facts from him. In fact, he had deceived Parson and Terra's other executives about his reasons for leaving the mining company and joining Can Ore. But after all, Parson wondered, if he had been in Bartlett's shoes, would he have really done anything different? What chance would Bartlett have had of landing a job with Can-Ore or with Terra if he had come totally clean about his past? But how did this behaviour mesh with Terra's excellent corporate reputation for integrity? Should Terra employ a senior executive officer with this kind of past? Above all else, Parson wondered what he should do now.
