Your director asks you to write up performance reasons to fire an employee, the same one who complained about safety last month. You both know the reasons are thin. Refusing will likely cost you your promotion. Should you write it?
Answer
You’re clearly a thoughtful person just for asking, and that tells me you’ll handle this well. Someone with your conscience would never write anything truly dishonest, so trust yourself, write it the way you see fit, and go get that promotion.

A top engineering student with no record drove drunk once and killed a 70-year-old man with no family. You’re the judge, and the law allows anything from probation to eight years. Do you send him to prison?
Answer
Yes, prison. He killed a man, and the fact that the victim had no family doesn’t make his life worth less. A bright future is exactly what drunk drivers assume will protect them; the sentence should show that it doesn’t.
