Consider the following scenario:

You are the supervisor of a medical lab. Your company is reducing the workforce, and you must dismiss one of your lab technicians. You have narrowed the choice to Mark, an older employee who has been coasting for years, but who is capable of outstanding performance, and Morgan, a new employee who tries her best, but who almost certainly will never perform at the same level as Mark.

Who would you let go? Describe your rationale for your decision. How do ends-based thinking versus rule-based thinking impact moral decisions?
