If Antonio or Kevin were fired because they reported Empress’s fraud, would they be justified in removing all traces of their employment at the cruise line from their resumes so they don’t have to explain to a prospective employer why they were fired? Why or why not?

It all began innocently enough, Kevin said. When he reported to the luxury cruise line’s corporate headquarters, his supervisor Phil Bailey informed him that the computer system had been hit by a power surge during the fierce thunderstorms that rolled through southern Florida the night before.“Check out the damage, and report directly back to me,” Phil instructed.
