pleas help shortly and fast
Engineer Nabil is faced with a potential change of jobs. He is reasonably successful in his own company, however, his boss is not much older than him, and there is not much chance for advancement. A competitor approaches him and offers him a similar job at a higher salary. While there are no guarantees, it appears that there might more opportunities for advancement in this second company. After carefully considering the offer, Nabil decides to go back to his present company and see if they wanted to keep him badly enough to make a counter offer of a pay raise. The present company agrees to match the offer. Nabil then tells his present company he will stay with them at their higher matched offer. He then begins to wonder if he might be worth more than he had realized. He then goes back to the competitor to see if they will increase their original offer. The competitor then increases their offer, and Nabil goes to work for them. The real issue at this time is not the legitimacy of changing jobs, which we assume everyone would say is acceptable. The issue is whether Nabil acted unethically by leaving his company after telling them he would stay if they matched the other companys offer. Nabil said to his company that he would stay if they matched the offer, and he did not stay. There would probably be no ethical issue if Nabil had only told his company he would consider staying if they matched the offer. We now have the question, has Nabil acted ethically in this job change?
Use utilitarianism, duties and rights ethics, and virtue ethics in analyzing this case.
