Sorry, I got off the subject. So, in my moral compass: I have learned not to depend on Immanuel Kant’s deontological ethics, known as the Duty-Based Approach (University, 2018). He thought the right and wrong of our actions does not depend on our consequences but whether we fulfill our duty. I think having workplace values helps create a sound workplace ethical culture (Heathfield, 2016). Some of the values would be:
• integrity -being honest when I make a mistake, not using company time for my personal time like looking on Facebook, or standing up for I believe is morally right.

But there are times when leaders, especially in my line of work – finances, accounting fraud takes place by using a word like downsizing can make the manager feel as their actions are more acceptable (Nisen & Groth, 2012). Knowing that leaders are not perfect and can make unethical mistakes like fraud, there can also be unethical behavior from them like bullying or mistreating the employee, I know that true whistle blowing can be reported when I have proof something illegal has taken place (Tugend, 2013). If I experience feelings of mistreatment, I should have a third-party present when discussing the issue(s) at hand. To know if the actions are unethical, I would ask questions, gather my evidence, file a report with human Resources, and I would not tell anyone as everyone is innocent until proven guilty (Swain, n.d.). If the results of the case come back not unethical, then I would have caused mine, as well as the others involved, reputation to be tarnished (Swain, n.d.). I would have to take my chances on retaliation from the employees for turning someone in which would make me feel uncomfortable but that will be a chance I would have to take (Tugend,
