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.

What will be an ideal response?


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.?It will 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.
