Several things have struck a nerve and given me many things to think about. The story about the old man who stole the drugs to save his wife's life was one . I can picture my parents(they're celebrating 50 years of marriage this year) in that situation and know without a doubt that either of them would have done just what the old man did to save the other. The conseunces wouldn't matter at all. Actually, I can see almost anyone who loves someone in the same predictment as the old man and willing to take the consequences. How unfair things are that this man could go to jail for trying to save someone's life.
Another thing that has given me much to think about was that there is a lot more the a H.R. manager than I realized, I guess. Yes, I was aware that you would be involved in hiring and firing, etc., but having to make decisions such as the one you had to make regarding the VP who had taken a leave of absence to care for her husband was something I'd never considered before. From this course I am already getting a sense that there is much more to a HR position than I realized. Has anything so far caused me to reconsider my major? No, just making me more aware of different aspects and responsibilites associated with the job.

Congratulations on your parent's 50th! That's wonderful! My parents just hit their 60th.
I think that every position in a company is faced with an ethical dilemma in one form or another. What aout a claims adjuster who denies a claim knowing how it can hurt a person or family? The larger issue is what is put in place for the employee to navigate through the ethical dilemma, thereby justifying what appears to be an unethical approach.
