1. What ethical pressures are present in this scenario?
In this scenario, Sally faces an ethical dilemma because she is caught between two entities that she really values. On the one hand, Sally values her job and the company, and she does not want to cause them unnecessary damage. On the other hand, Sally cares about the community, and she wants people to be safe. Sally appears to find it difficult to reconcile these concerns. Moreover, regardless of her decision, Sally is likely to damage one of the two entities she cares about.
2. If you could advise Sally about how to manage ethics in this situation, what would you say? Explain.
I would say that Sally should contact the newspaper and make the story public. Sally has already contacted the company, and she gave them a chance to rectify their mistakes. However, they decided not to take responsibility for their actions. This is their decision, and it makes them responsible for whatever punishment they receive. Moreover, Sally knows that this practice is illegal, and as a responsible citizen, she has to follow the law.
3. What potential risks does your recommendation pose if Sally were to follow your advice?
Sally could face many risks because of this decision. The company is likely to know that she is responsible for making the story go public. This could cost Sally her job. Depending on the seriousness of the situation, the company might close permanently, leaving many people unemployed, including Sally herself.
