Robert’s Response
Robert faces the dilemma of making ethical decisions as required in his job description against good will. The driver has a number of outstanding warrants similar to the current offense. However, the driver faces various life challenges that seem to contribute to the outstanding warrants. Therefore, Robert decides to solve the situation by ensuring it does not make the situation worse for the driver and the legal department. The officer had four options, but by considering the driver’s demeanor, he decided to let her go by giving various conditions. The driver would have to be driven to work which would prevent any further arrests or warrants due to her expired registration number. The driver would also continue working and manage to get money to pay for the pending warrants without being financially oppressed. In other cases, the driver would be arrested for the outstanding warrants, and would be issued a warning or a citation for the new violation. In such a situation, the driver would have to provide some amount of money to be free from the outstanding warrants as well as the new violation.
Montie’s Response
Montie is a notary who is required to provide transparent and fair decisions on various issues and contracts which he signs and processes. The notary job has various policies and regulations that may affect the ethical decisions experienced from time to time in the workplace. Montie faced a situation that required the ethical decision based on the policies and regulations of his career. The policies made it difficult for Montie to help out an old friend because the issue was illegal according to his job description. Montie’s case shows the personal relations can be affected by some ethical decisions such as his relationship with his friend, the attorney. Ethical dilemmas are mostly experienced in the workplace as a result of the expectations in the workplace as compared to personal preferences (Garber, 2008). Montie believes that by working according to the policies and regulations of the organization, he would have a clear mind. It means that by acting against the policies, one would be restless and worried.
