Response to the case of john smith

I think john should sell the names, in the end he's going to be doing more for his employees buy blurring this line then he would be able to do by being ethical. and when you really think about it what is the car company going to do with the names and numbers? Call them or e mail them, that is by far less damaging then losing everyones job. I think our scale of ethics has not yet developed itself to a point where it can accurately judge the grey areas of ethical distortion. In this case by being unethical to customers John is looking out and doing good for all of his employees.

If you were Johns employees and he said to you, "I can sell these names and we can all keep our jobs or I can be Ethical and not sell them and the company goes under", what would you tell him to do?
