Anton Blair Case Summary

Decent Essays
Anton Blair is a manager in a medium-size company. He receives a bonus depending on the net income of the company, and if the bonus isn’t high enough he recommends a suggestion to increase the net income. One of the recommendations that Blair suggested is to lower the estimate of doubtful accounts.
By lowering the estimated doubtful account would cause the expenses to be lower than normal, and increase the net income. That would cause an increase in the income statement, and increase the retained earnings, and the company would have inaccurate financial statements. Blair actions violate the financial morals because he is recommending it to make his bonus higher rather than helping the company. He isn’t in the right position to be recommending

    The Capistrano Unified School District took the parents of Jeremy Wartenberg, Wayne and Charlene Wartenberg to court in their refusal to pay for Jeremy’s private school tuition, fees spent at the private school, and attorney fees. The school district expresses that Jeremy’s behavior comes from his own willfulness to misbehave not his disability.

    In the 2002 Neil Noesen case, a woman in Wisconsin went to fill her prescription at a local K-Mart, only to be refused by the only pharmacist on duty at the time, Neil Noesen, because the aforementioned pharmacist was a strict Roman Catholic, and it would be against his principles to give someone contraceptives.

    There is nothing wrong with paying well deserved bonuses to top executives, since they play a major role in the survival of a corporation, but when these bonuses come at the expense of the work force that keeps them in business, it crosses an ethical line. The company prides itself in “employee empowerment” and employee “engagement in corporate decision making”, but it would seem that the employees have been bound and not empowered. Limiting hours to the extent that most employees not only are kept as part time, which in turn prevents them from getting access to much needed benefits is not empowerment. Also, if the employees had had any input into the degree to which the corporation distributed bonuses there may not be an issue with it at all. Truly empowering the employee and allowing for their input will create a sense of ownership within the workforce and this ownership will boost morale, productivity, and innovation if it is truly allowed to…
