Scenario: Eric is an Assistant Vice President at
marine paint manufacturing plant. One day, he accidentally discovers an
email from his boss, the Vice President, to the President, notifying him
of an internal study finding the paint leeches from the bottom of boats
into the marine environment. The paint has been found to create birth
defects in marine life. He also sees the President’s response email, in
which he directs the Vice President to erase all evidence of the study
and tell no one. The President also directs the Vice President to erase
the email. Eric is concerned about the findings of the study, but he
also fears losing his job.
