You have been working at Saxet Consulting for the past year and are expected to complete three client reviews per week. You have been very productive and have been completing two extra reviews per week. At a recent team meeting, you expected to receive praise from the President for this extra work; however, your manager took credit for the extra work and received the praise from the President. What has your manager violated and what is your likely reaction?
Answer:
The manager has violated the ethical code of conduct of the organization. As all the employees are expected to be honest about the work they have done and not take credit for something that was done by someone else. This behaviour reduces the integrity and loyalty that the other team members would have in the manager in the future with respect to taking credit for someones else work. Other employees might also soon start doing it if this goes unreported.
I would go and speak to the manager and ask him the reason for doing so and ensure that he has committed a mistake and ensure that the credit is given to where it is due.
