LAW, MORALITY, ETHICS & ETIQUETTE CASE STUDIES

CASE STUDY – 2

Ahmad is a junior engineer at a big oil company. He has been working under Ah
Chong’s supervision for the past three years. Ahmad knows that Ah Chong is a
good and hardworking manager, but he has noticed that Ah Chong frequently
has liquor on his breath at work and that sometimes his speech is slurred.

One day Ahmad learns that Ah Chong is about to be offered a new and better-
paying position. He is happy for Ah Chong until he learns that his new job will
be the chief safety inspector for all the oil rigs that the company owns in the
region. Ahmad worries that Ah Chong’s drinking habit will interfere with his
work as a safety inspector much more seriously than it interferes with his
present job. He tells Ah Chong that he is worried that Ah Chong’s drinking
might cause serious problems in the new position, and he urges Ah Chong not
to accept the job. Ah Chong agrees that he will have to cut back on his drinking,
but he tries to assure Ahmad that he has things under control. He says that he
is going to take the job, and he asks Ahmad not to tell anyone about his
drinking.

Should Ahmad take his concerns to higher management?
