You are the manager of one of your company's six factories. You have worked for the company for 20 years. Several years ago, the company permitted you time off to earn an MBA degree and the company paid 100 percent of your college costs. Your immediate supervisor has just informed you that the company soon will be drastically reducing its workforce, terminating the employment of as many as 400 workers. Fortunately, you will not be losing your job. However, your supervisor told you that you must keep this information confidential because it could affect employee morale as well as the company's value on the stock market.

Rumors are beginning to spread around the factory that bad news may be coming. One of your old high school friends, Jae Ha, has asked you for information about what is going to happen. He has explained that his wife is expecting their first child and that they are preparing to move to a bigger apartmentan expense they cannot afford if he loses his job. Further, his two younger brothers also work for the company.

What should you tell him? (A) Use utilitarian analysis to carefully explain how you will decide what to do. (B) Explain how your analysis and choice might differ if you used modern rights analysis.
