ROY

favoritism because of Laels
personal dealings with Liz
regarding the latters child,
Janeen.
+ Age discrimination if Roy
is not selected for the
promotion.
Choosing Roy
+ Future personal
relationship that will exist
when QY is married to the
son of the one from upper
management.
+ Not choosing Roy: Age
discrimination
Not choosing Liz: radical
discrimination and moral
intensity for Liz.
Liz
She is in poor financial situation
Her already sick child recently involved
in a serious problem
She has good relationship with Lael
She was recommended by Laels
immediate supervisor for better
companys image
Roy
He was recommended by one senior
manager
This promotion would be the last before
retirement
The whole company feels unfair if he is
not promoted
His son was getting married to the vice
president daughter
Quang Yeh
She was engaged to the upper manager
son
If Lael rejects Quang Yeh for the
promotion, the relationship with upper
manager might become awkward
