When Orlanda graduated from college, she got a job as a software engineer in Silicon Valley. After two years working in technical support, one of her customers offered her a job at his company. It turned out that her new firm was in shambles, but, after months of killer hours, she managed to get the company on a better path. One of her biggest accomplishments was to help a major supplier solve its technical problems so that its product would work reliably. On her birthday, her contact at the supplier (who was a friend of her boss) gave her a diamond watch. Her company had no policy on accepting gifts, so she kept it. Afterward, she realized that she was spending even more time working on this supplier’s issues. But, she said to herself, this was good for her company, too. Also, no one at her company had high ethical standards anyway.

Some months later, the same supplier offered to buy her a diamond necklace if she would make his company a preferred supplier. He said the necklace would look just like the one he had given her boss. 

Questions:

1. What ethics traps is Orlanda facing?

2. Is there anything wrong with accepting these gifts?
