Question 13 5 points Save Answer You are the Chief Financial Company for the former market leader in widget production. A surprise activation of a termination for convenience clause by your largest customer will see revenue drop precipitously over the next thirty (30) days. At the end of that period, you will need to lay off dozens of workers, leaving them without health insurance. The workers assigned to that contract's production schedule are also, for the most part, unskilled and lacking in rapid re-employment following a layoff. What is likely the most ethically appropriate action? a. Send a memo to the workers about to be laid off suggesting they take the next thirty (30) days to look for work elsewhere. b. Begin researching possible plans to extend the health insurance benefits past the date employment ends, and work with the CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer) to prepare an informational packet on upcoming job fairs, companies hiring for similar positions, and other transitional information. C. Nothing because you can never alert employees about financial problems. The morale would suffer, and some employees might quit before the contract order's existing demand is fulfilled. Od. Contact each employee's spouse to alert them to reduce spending for the next month. If they can begin reducing expenses the financial hardship of job loss won't be as harsh. Question 14 5 points Save Answer You are an instructor at a local business school. One of your students once stopped to assist you on the side of the road, helping you change a flat tire with the spare tire that comes in almost every vehicle. At the end of the semester, the student's final grade is a 99, but the student sends a request to have the grade rounded to 100. The final grade will remain an A+ in the grading system regardless, so the only people who will know the 100 was not the earned grade will be you and the student. Should you round the grade? a. Of course, because the student helped you change a flat tire. b. Yes. No one will know so it is just between the two of you. c. Why not? There is no prohibition in the syllabus, or in school policy related to grade rounding, other than to say it is your sole discretion. d. You should tell the student to try harder next time and suggest some resources for people who probably won't enjoy the same success in life that better students enjoy
