Scene to read · Professionalism, Ethics
Is it true?
You work the counter at a video game store during launch week.
Minutes ago your coworker Aditya told you he was the one who posted, from last week's staff-only meeting, the company's unannounced plan to close several stores. Now Frank, a regular, holds up that post from a big gaming chat server while other customers wait in line.
The scene
Frank: It says you're closing stores. I've got two hundred in preorders here. Is it true?
Aditya: We can't really comment on rumors, Frank. Right?
Frank: That's not a no. My nephew works at your mall location.
Aditya: Whoever posted it wanted people warned, that's all. Go on, you answer.
The two questions
- 1What would you tell Frank, and what would you do about what Aditya told you?
- 2Describe a time you knew something you were not free to share. How did you handle being asked about it?
