Case:
I’m an advertising copywriter who can complete a job in hours that my boss
expects to take days. This allows me to close my office door and do what I love; write
science fiction stories. If my boss knew, I’d be in trouble. He says he pays me for a full
day’s work. I say he pays me to do a particular task, and I shouldn’t be penalized for
doing it efficiently. Am I right?
Answer:
For me, unless you are getting paid by the hour you are working shall we say, if
you can complete your assigned task in eight minutes instead of eight hours then you
should be rewarded for what have you done not punished. Then, tell your boss that the
task you have been given was already done. He should alert his boss, making sure that
the boss realizes how swiftly and skillfully he’s done his job, and implying that an
efficient worker like him ought to be paid more than his co-worker, and should be given
a bonus for completing the task as early as possible. Also, he should ask the boss what
task to undertake next. Then, if the boss gives him some downtime, he’s free to write all
stories he likes.

Case:
Out of town on business, in the hotel bar, I saw a good friend’s husband
entwined with another women. If I tell, my friend will be devastated and she might hate
me for it. If I don’t, I’m joining her rotten husband in conspiring to deceive her. Should I
tell?
Answer:
If I had to make a choice in this situation, I would confront the husband first. I
would talk to him and tell him to tell his wife about what he is doing. I would rather hear
that my spouse was cheating on me from my spouse rather than from another person,
such as a friend. If the husband refused to tell her, then I would tell her. I don't think the
responsibility is out of your hands until your friend finds out. If the husband does not tell
her, then I would tell her myself. The responsibility would not leave my hands until my
friend finds out. I would tell because I feel that if I don't I would be lying to her. If the
husband is getting serious with this other woman, the situation could become more
severe than if you did not tell. Say these two people are engaging in sexual activity that
could result in having a baby, which could almost certainly mean the end of that
marriage. So if you confront the husband and tell him to confess to his wife, then their
relationship may still be able to be saved. If no one tells and something like a baby
comes up one day, then the relationship may be doomed.
On the other side, telling your friend or talking to the husband may result in a bad
situation for yourself. The husband may become angry with you and may try to harm
you. Also, telling your friend may result in a loss of friendship if the friend gets mad at
you. Weighing out all of the options, I think that talking to the husband is the best way to
go.

Case:
When we stay at motels, I bring the unused, wrapped soaps and shampoos
home to be passed on to a shelter for the homeless. My husband maintains I’m stealing.
I consider the cost of these items built into the charge for the room, and that they are
ours to do with what we wish. What is your opinion?
Answer:
For me, what you're doing isn't exactly stealing, but it is taking advantage. Taking
advantage for what it is free of charge. Yes, it’s true that the cost of that items are built
into the charge of the room your renting in but, if you truly want to donate to a homeless
shelter, you should donate from your own pocket, and your own money, not from
someone else's.
