Tianhui was recently hired as a sales representative by Oxtron, Inc Before leaving on his first sales trip, a number of the other sales representatives take Tianhui aside and tell him that it is customary for the sales representatives to "pad" (increase) their expense reports each month by 20%. Use utilitarian ethics to decide what Tianhui should do about the expense report he submits to Oxtron
According to utilitarian ethics, Tianhui could justify padding his report because:
? It will increase his overall happiness.
? Increase in pay will help him feel better about going on trips, and make him more successful.
? Help him "fit in" with the other sales staff, increasing morale for all.
? The end result will be better because he will more likely stay with this job, decreasing employee turnover costs.
