After finding P10,000.00 cash in a hotel safe, you:
Turn it in to the front desk so the hotel can notify the previous occupant.
Consider it yours unless the previous occupant calls during your stay. If that happens and the front desk calls to ask you about it, you will turn it in.
You believe in the finders-keepers philosophy, so you keep the cash. You don’t want to give the cash to the front desk who will probably just pocket the cash anyway.
After dinner, the waitress brings your check. When you realize she forgot to add dessert and coffee to the bill, you:
Pay the bill. It was their mistake.
Call her over and tell her she forgot to add the dessert and coffee.
Give her a bigger tip since you saved money on the check. It will be faster and you’d rather give her the money than a big restaurant chain.
In a team meeting, your boss gives you kudos for a project that was primarily done by someone else on the team. You:
Stay silent in the meeting and later tell your co-worker you’re sorry the boss did that.
Quickly explain that it wasn’t your work and give credit where credit is due.
Never say anything about it.
Your boss gives you his credit card to pick up the catered lunch from the Italian deli for today’s sales contest kickoff celebration. The order’s not ready, so you have a latte while you wait. The cashier adds it to the bill. When you return to the office, you:
Give your boss the credit card receipt and Php100.00 for the latte.
Give your boss the credit card receipt and tell him you’ll bring in Php100.00 for the latte tomorrow.
Give your boss the credit card receipt and don’t mention the latte. He’ll probably expense all of it and may not even notice the additional charge. If he says anything you’ll tell him that you didn’t think he would care. You had to wait and figured it was your tip for running errands.
On your way to work, you realize you still haven’t sent the company binders for next week’s meeting. Doing it today means you have to send them express instead of ground, otherwise you can’t be confident that the shipment will arrive in time. When you realize how much more it costs to send them by air, you:
Blame it on the delivery service—telling your boss that they simply couldn’t guarantee ground delivery on time, so your only option was to send the shipment by air.
Tell your manager of the P1,500.00 mistake.
Decide not to tell your manager about the express shipping; your manager will find out soon enough when she attends the meeting next week.
Your company has a gift policy that prevents employees from accepting any gifts with a value of more than P1,000.00 and no more than three gifts in a year. The policy also requires that you inform your manager of the gift. A contractor you have known for several years offers you a brand new laptop. You:
Decide to accept and plan to tell your manager afterward. You are confident that you’re not compromising a work relationship because you no longer work directly with this contractor, but you don’t want to take a chance the request is caught up in red tape – or denied.
Decide to accept and don’t tell your manager about it. Since you no longer work directly with the contractor, you decide it’s not a business gift. You plan to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Inform your boss and hope for approval. Since the offer has no bearing on business because you no longer work directly with the contractor, you hope your manager makes an exception to policy.
It’s lunchtime, so you head to the office kitchen to heat up your food. While you’re waiting on the microwave, you notice an open file folder sitting on the table with what looks like a list of employees and their salaries hanging out of it. No one else is in the room, so you have no idea who the folder belongs to. What do you do?
Ignore the open folder and go about your business.
After briefly looking at the contents of the folder (just to make sure you’re being paid competitively) you take it to the HR Director for her to handle.
Take the folder with you and send out a company-wide email asking the person who left a file folder in the third-floor kitchen to come see you to pick it up.
Without reading the visible pages, close the folder and wait. When its owner shows up, explain that you closed the open folder as soon as you saw what it was but didn’t want to leave such sensitive information unattended.
You’ve been craving a soda all day. After digging through your desk for change, you head down to the vending machine to get your mid-afternoon sugar fix. You insert the correct change, push the button and two sodas come rolling down the shoot. What do you do?
Call the number on the vending machine to report the mistake and take the extra soda can to the receptionist, so she can return it to the vending company when they show up to fix the issue.
Take the two sodas back to your office and smile at your good fortune.
Give the extra soda to your coworker who was complaining just the other day that that same machine had taken her money and not given her a soda.
Give the extra soda to that same coworker, but tell her that you bought it specifically for her.
