Fundamentals of Selling 13th Edition by Charles Futrell

Exercise 10

You have been a sales manager for a small regional manufacturing firm for just over a year. By accident you overheard two salespeople discussing how much they had padded their expense reports for that month. These two salespeople have been with the company for several years, are very successful in their jobs, and are well liked by the rest of the sales staff. You know that the firm has strict rules regarding sales expense reporting and that this policy would require that the two salespeople be severely reprimanded or fired.
What would be the most ethical action to take
Do nothing. It is not your responsibility to turn them in. Besides, you never would have known if you didn't "accidentally" hear.
