Suppose if a co-worker tells you in confidence that she plans to call in sick while actually taking a week's vacation. What would you do and why?
Answer:
I would tell this co-worker that being dishonest to her boss, as well as her co-workers, is not wise, and being dishonest in her job is wrong. I would say how we all want more vacation time, but we have to earn it -- and that taking this extra time hurts everyone in the department because the person's absence will affect productivity.
