Case Study: Lying to Rachael Adams
From a legal point of view, Ballinger did not have any binding obligation to
inform Rachel and other employees about the impending merger. I do not find Janet
obliged to tell Rachel the truth. From this case, Janet unethically cheated Rachel that
there was no planned merger. Janet defended her decision by claiming that she took the
decision that was best for the company. However, the truth is that we are living in a time
when management of people is more important than a company. A good manager is
honest and cultivates a culture of trust in the organization. As for this case, the Ballinger
administrators had a moral responsibility to communicate to the employees about the
planned merger so that workers who do not have chances of retaining their jobs after
takeover can find jobs elsewhere in time. Mergers have direct impact on the acquired
entity and thus their livelihoods would be affected. The management has a duty to assure
their employees of a good social status.
