Felix works for an animal rescue. His boss showed him how to take an existing vaccination record, alter it with a new dog’s information, then send that to a new client; she does this so that the pets aren’t accidentally over vaccinated. Felix refuses to do this, and his boss says that’s fine, they’ll have another employee do it. Felix decides to quit and posts about the practice anonymously on a rescue blog. Was Felix behaving ethically?
Group of answer choices
No; professional conduct means following a boss’s orders, since they know more than the employee.
No; Felix was fine to quit, but it wasn’t his place to report the information on the blog.
Yes; Felix found out his boss was ordering the falsification of documents, and reporting it was the right thing to do.
No; since Felix would have been able to hold the job and let another employee perform the task, he was wrong to quit.
