Dear Liz,
I have seen a number of articles you’ve written about business ethics. What did you think of the advice The Ethicist gave to a reader in his column in the New York Times Sunday magazine a few weeks back, on the topic of salary information at work? The person wrote to say that his boss had accidentally left company-wide salary information on his desk, and wondered whether he should have made a copy of it for his personal use. The Ethicist said that the reader should have photocopied the information and put a copy on everyone’s desk, because transparency in salary information is healthier for a workplace environment. What’s your take?
Thanks,
Caroline
