ETHICAL DILEMMA

Mr. Ashok and Mr. Roy are very close friends and have known each other for 10 years. Roy and Ashok used to work in the same company but 6 months before, Roy joined another company.

12/3/2005……. Phone call ringing….
Roy: Hello Ashok, can you meet me tomorrow evening there is a serious issue I am facing.
Ashok: You sound serious, but I am afraid, I can pay you time tomorrow. Is it possible to meet this weekend?
Roy: Yes, no problem. See you then this weekend.

The day of meeting……..

Ashok: Hi Roy, please come in
Roy: Good morning.
Ashok: You seem to be quite serious, any problem.
Roy: Yes, I am having some. There is an issue where I am directly in conflict with the interests of my boss. I am at a total loss about whom to listen to, in this proposition.
I think I will not challenge the boss. It's difficult and risky to question for an employee asking about the appropriateness of his boss. As an internal employee, I feel that speaking up could've had political or even career-derailing consequences.
Ashok: If I would be in your position I'd also feel that it's a greater potential risk to my credibility to be perceived as a traitor for the company. But I think your stance must be consistent with company's standards on Ethics and Integrity, which states that we must not mix our personal things with professional standards. Let me share my brother’s experience, Sameer.

3 years before:-

Mr. Sameer Sharma was working as a Credit Manager in the Processing Cell of a leading public sector bank. He was working in this domain for past 20 years and had vast experience in sanctioning loan proposals. He had been awarded by the bank for his great performance in credit
