5.( TCOs 5, 6) You work for a grocery store and a new manager is hired to oversee your department. He comes into your department( the butcher shop) and explains to you that for the past 6 months, your department has been losing money for the store because of the waste and spoilage going on from having to discard unsold meat and poultry. He tells you that from now on, he wants you to package ground meat in smaller, more compact packages, with older meat on the bottom of the package( so it is not visible to the customer) and the fresher meat on the top, where it is visible to the customers. In this way, you can move more of the older meat and still receive the top dollar for it. As he leaves the department where you were having the discussion, he turns and says,“ And by the way, one more month of losses like we had last month from this department, and you can kiss your job goodbye.” Will you repackage the meat in the way he requested? Why or why not? Explain what ethical analysis you used to come to this conclusion.( Points: 30)
