Assignment:
Ethical issue Analysis of Padding Business Expenses You have just completed a grueling 10-day business trip calling on two dozen accounts up and down the East Coast. There were even business meetings combined with social events late into the night and on the weekends. On the flight back home at the end of this marathon, you are tired and feeling as if you have not seen your family for a month.
As you work on completing your expense report, you say to yourself, "The company does not pay me enough for the work that I do." For more than a few moments, you think about padding your expense report to make up for all the extra hours and time away from your family. Would it be okay to add "extra expenses" to compensate for the hardship of the trip?
