Ethics in Workplace

Lito must take responsibility for his actions as an employee. The document outlines some ethical standards Lito should follow, including being accountable and upholding trust. It discusses how lacking accountability can damage one's reputation with their boss and lead to job loss. Additionally, failing to complete work on time or having to repeatedly revise work can damage trust with one's employer and deny opportunities for promotion. Effective communication is also important to avoid misunderstandings at work, though declaring an emergency may not always be the best decision and could make a situation worse. It's generally better to first assess situations calmly and troubleshoot issues without taking drastic actions if possible.

1. Lito must take the responsibility and face the consequences of his actions.

As an employee, it
is important to always take responsibility for decisions made both individually and or even in a
team. This is, in fact, a leadership trait that every employee who is looking to take up a
managerial position in the future should exhibit. Understandably, employees may want to save
their job and are therefore scared of taking responsibility for a particular event. However, they
shouldn't let this fear take them out of the team or the company. Here are some of the ethical
standards that Lito should always bear to his mind in order to prevent such instances;
1.1. Be Accountable
Accountability is also a very good trait of an employee. One of the things that may short change
a talented and responsible is the lack of accountability.  Lack of accountability may result in your
boss thinking you have an "I don't care attitude" to the company's project or worst take you as a
liar and may lead to job loss in the long run.
1.2 Uphold Trust
An employee should not do anything that may make his or her employee withdraw trust. As an
employee of a company, your employee trusts you to get work done perfectly on time. Things
like what Lito did, missing deadlines regularly or delivering work that needs to be revised over
and over again will deny you a promotion. It may even leave the employer not giving you tasks
to complete in the future—a nightmare for freelancers.
2. Yes, as an employee, effective communication is very important to avoid misunderstandings
when dealing with issues in the workplace. Communicating effectively may mean different
things to people at different points in time. Effective communication may also have an employee
breaking one of the rules and regulations of the company without getting penalized for it. An
employee like Captain Moody reaching out to the passengers will cause a big trouble due to
some unforeseen circumstances may be spared for some decisions made by himself and if the
situation is not properly communicated. If I were Captain Moody, I would not declare an
emergency. There’s no way to be totally prepared for every emergency. Despite our best
intentions, sometimes things just go wrong. But practice, planning, and good judgment can
improve our odds of dealing with an emergency for the best outcome. Remember, first do no
harm—fly the airplane and stay in control. Then assess the situation and troubleshoot. Taking
drastic action is usually not needed—it can make things worse. That’s easier said than done
when the engine quits, or you discover a fire!
