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 )
