Oh really, a whole minor in philosophy, well I should just give up my argument then. Clearly the examples given relate more to a moral code of conduct than an ethical code of conduct. While both are covered, the rationale is not specific enough to derive what is ethical from what is moral.Lvl 64 Klutz said:
Apparently I came off as pompous by mentioning the philosphy minor, and for that I apologize.
However, to say there is anything different about unethical behavior and immoral behavior is merely arguing semantics, particularly in this case when the exact defenition doesn't even really matter.
Even if it were, "unethical" is far more accurate than "immoral." The latter infers a knowledge of wrong-doing, and I hardly think anyone who steals a pencil from work is convinced they're going to hell for doing so. On the other hand (and yes, I know this is going to be a very narrow definition), unethical more often implies breaking some kind of moral guideline.

Yeah, we all did it. We'd see a customer coming when we had maybe one minute left before sign-out, so we'd duck below the counter and look for more plastic bags or something, and by the time we came back up the customer would be gone and we could go home.Molikroth said:

Recharging phones/PDA's off the supply, discounting undamaged products, pushing books you like rather than 'approved' ones, having sex during working hours...facaldo said:
Nah, never heard of that.
In short: no.
To elaborate: NO
The closest to unethical I've got is repairing 'broken' parts returned by customers and fitting them to my bike(s). As opposed to sending them back to Shimano, who destroy them. The local sales rep prefers this as it saves him a form to fill in, I like it because I'm kept in spare parts.

i've memorised most of my colleagues passwords so i can get into systems i dont have access to...although to be fair thats mostly just because it makes my job easier...and the douchebags at work haven't given me the right access privaleges to do my job><
but yeah the usual longer breaks etc. i also leave early...no one notices XD the only other person in my corner of the office leaves before me anyway. we have these sheets we have to fill out to say what we did at what time..i fill in the same thing every day no matter what i've done...i text friends while im on the phone to customers as well..XD and as soon as i work out how to enable msn...XD
i tend to pick and chose my work....i only do the bits i feel like...esp at the end of the day....

I do nearly everything under the sun that isn't a major criminal offense... I bloody hate the place, the people more than the job. As a result i'm labeled as the lovably disgruntle employee...
I'd quit if i could find another job that payed decently, but everything is just seasonal and being in school doesn't help.

I've turned up for a lab practical drunk before. I got away with it as well. Nobody noticed and I didn't break a single piece of stupidly expensive equipment.
