Talk:Work ethic

Problem to solve

Mr. Adan, a supermarket manager, asks Henry to submit a report which is to include a background analysis of some data, and recommendations based on the interpretation of that data. Mr. Adan asks Henry to get the report together within 2 weeks. Off Henry goes, He delegates the research, analysis and report writing to one of his subordinates, Rhoda, who completes the work in ten (10) days and gives the report to Henry. Henry takes Rhoda’s work, reads it, is satisfied with the content, retypes the cover page to show his name, not Rhoda and then submit it to Mr. Adan as if it were his own work. He accepts praise and gives no credit to Rhoda, who in fact did the research and wrote the report.

3.It is possible that you answered that question by saying that subordinates are supposed to do the dirty work, the grunt work. But is not representing someone else’s work as your own a form of theft. In the same way as using company property?
