The IT manager is now very uncomfortable meeting with her boss. She believes the directive to reconsider the finance director$$s request would undermine the integrity of the systems review process. She feels it would be unethical to grant preferred treatment just because a friendship is involved. She is thinking of submitting a request to step down as review committee chair, even though that might harm her career at the company. Is this an ethical question, or just a matter of office politics? What would you do if you were the IT manager?
