company vs ethics

This is a true dilemma in ethics for the person which go by consequential ethical approach.

However, the wrong doing can not be supported by the materialistic gain and loss explanation. Communication in a right manner affirming the ethos of organization to all concerned authorities/boss will solve the problem. Generally, if the problem is communicated at right time to all influential stakeholders, then outcome is always good.

Ethically it will be wrong to pay up blindly to reduce boss anger and do a great work of saving a 300 Human Working hours loss.

Ethical professional will see whether it is a bribe or fees for penalty for which he officer will complete all the legal paper work for penalty and give you the receipt.

If it is BRIBE DO NOT GIVE MONEY.

In this case the word MANAGE clearly indicates that it is not  fees/charge for penalty but it is a BRIBE.

Ethical professional will inform the BOSS, chalk out Plan B for the work and will tke a decision which will keep the ethical concerns alive.

There is a saying "Kaupeena Samrakshanardham Patatopaha"

Which means To save one cloth from rats, Sanyasi started growing a cat, with cat his responsibilities increases and had to finally marry, have house and all the other things that are not required for a sanyasi.

By doing one wrong thing, Though we don't foresee, We will fall under ramifications of such an act.

Imagine, This person gets caught, authorities check the papers and found one illgal chemical being transported across, they inform your government, they lock your office, then your boss fires you.

All for one bad thing. If you don't accept the possibility is atleast you stood for a cause.
