(i)
'(i) When orders dropped in any manufacturing company, the I
supervisor is asked to terminate a few employees to save cost. The I
supervisor knows that some of them though loyal, hard working, they I

terminate the employees and still he is helpless. Even if he is given
two months termination time by the company. he will not reveal his
plans of termination to the employees to be terminated with a fear that
employees would quit while still needed or not work as hard as they
usually did after being told. The supervisor had to enforce all company
rules and policies. For him" the ethical dilemma relates to two'
dimensions:
. Personal
