Scene to read · Professionalism, Ethics
The list left out
You work part-time for your uncle's home-based holiday lighting business with your cousins, the brothers Daoud and Tavita.
The three of you are stacking boxes in your uncle's attic while he is out on a job. A rival installer has offered Daoud a job and asked to see your uncle's customer price list, which was lying open on a box when you came up.
The scene
Daoud: I'm sending them the price list tonight. Customers see those numbers anyway.
Tavita: He never leaves that out. What if he's checking which of us stays loyal?
Daoud: Then he could've just asked me. Four years, and not one raise.
Tavita: Maybe. I honestly can't tell. You've gone quiet over there. What do you think?
The two questions
- 1What would you do, and what would you say to Daoud?
