Your soon-to-be supervisor asks you about your dedication to the company in a short interim interview for your new position as a project lead. She asks you how committed you are to the company and where your loyalties lie. She also asks you if you know of any dishonest and non-committed individuals within your group as you will be the one who dismisses your co-workers should they not be complying with the company’s values and code of ethics. You are best friends with some of your co-workers outside of work and you know they have been stealing from the company and some are even consuming drugs during work. You were also partaking in those activities.

You know this promotion from a largely administrative role to one of dealing directly with the Vice President of the company will take you from a salary of $20,000 a year to $90,000 a year. Will you tell on them on your friends? Will you fire them? Did your loyalties always lie with the company?
