Question
Read the following scenario and consider the different actions that Alice might take.
Analyze each of her options with respect to the Software Engineering Code of Ethics
and Professional Practice. Cite the most relevant items from the Code (by number) in
each case, and conclude with your recommendation for the best course of action
according to the Code.
Alice works as a project for ABC Software, a company that develops financial software.
She reports directly to the company owner, Bob. The company has about 20 employees
in all, and it has several dozen corporate customers who depend upon their software to
support their own businesses. Thought ABCS has had success in marketing its products
in the past, in recent months sales have been sagging and it is now at risk of insolvency.
Alice is the only employee of the company in whom Bob has confided. She knows that
any day, the company may have to shut its doors and lay off all the employees. She
knows that if she tells customers or employees about this, many will likely leave, greatly
increasing the likelihood of ABCS actually failing. Her other option is to maintain Bob's
confidence, ignoring the risk of a shutdown.
