You are a supervisor at a telephone call center and have very positive relationships with members of your work team and your manager. A friend of yours, Kristie, is also a supervisor, and her younger brother, Blake, is a member of her work team.
You are returning to the company after a lunch date with a friend. While walking through the company parking lot you see Blake and several other employees smoking marijuana. As you pass by the group you casually mention that the company has a policy prohibiting drug use. There is some laughter among the group and nothing more is said. Upon returning to work you are troubled by the incident and wonder what, if anything, you should do.
Evaluate your alternatives and possible consequences of each alternative. Be sure to indicate which course of action you will adopt. In considering the merits of this case, think about Kohlberg's stages of moral reasoning, the L-F-S (leader-follower-situation) model, and the A-O-R (action-observation-reflection) model.
