Rights approach of Immanuel Kant establishes the moral rights such as privacy, promise and non-injury of everyone. It is the moral responsibility to save co-worker from heavy debt and it is ethical responsibility to keep the information of the company confidential.
As per rights approach one would suggest co-worker to wait for few days to make an order buying an expensive car stating the market condition or stating the future offers.
