Margaret has asked her employees to work on the project of processing loan applications for low-income homeowners who have received federal aid from Hurricane Kyle. All employees have been assigned specific tasks and provided instructions for completing the loan application to meet the deadline required for reimbursement for federal aid. In addition, employees have been instructed to not discuss the specifics of the project due to client confidentiality. During the employee's lunch break, an employee overheard two other employees talking about her cousin who was on the list to have her mortgage loan processed. She mentioned that her cousin needed to have her loan processed within the next 2 weeks or she would incur a higher interest rate or be required to requalify for a new loan. Hearing this conversation and understanding the policy on ethical responsibility in the workplace, the employees are faced with a dilemma on how they should handle the situation.

Describe the possible outcomes of the pros and cons of bringing this situation to the attention of the manager?
