Abstract

Is telling on people at work tattling or whistleblowing? Should we snitch on wrongdoers or mind our own stinkin' business? Getting Ethics to Work’s resident ethicist Andy Cullison and producer Kate Berry examine the ethics of snitching at work. On this episode and every episode, we dig into complicated stories from the workplace and discuss the underlying moral problems these cases bring up. Have a workplace dilemma you need some help with? Send your story to our producer Kate at katherineberry@depauw.edu. For this episode’s transcript, click here.

Shownotes

Our conversation is based on a case called "A Good Team Player" by Michael G. Bowen This case and others like it can be found here: public.tepper.cmu.edu/ethics/aa/arthurandersen.htm Whistleblowing The Right to Confront Witnesses Hearsay: information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor. In a legal context, hearsay is the report of another person's words by a witness, which is usually disallowed as evidence in a court of law.
