You are an assistant Human Resource Manager at Company X. You have had this job for two years, and you love it. You have a great opportunity to become the manager within the year as your immediate boss is nearing retirement.

One day, the president of the company comes by your desk to ask you for "a favour". He has just hired a "rock star" CEO and wants you to enroll her in the company benefits program right away and waive the required 6 months probationary period. He really wants to make a good impression with her and roll out the red carpet.

What do you do? Explain your decision using the four ethical decision-making criteria discussed in the course.
