CASE 3
QUESTION:
Older engineers, in particular, find job security in competition with ethical instinct……
Did he really have a choice?
ANSWER:
Old engineer, at the ending stages of his career had to face a real dilemma here.
Considering all options, a better of all solutions could be devised. Let’s assess this
problem with line drawing method too.
According to table, one case is right aligned while other in opposite. Having less number
of options, it makes hard to decide. So judging according to IEEE codes, old engineer
having experience of work, might get another suitable job to his environment where
retires could train young ones. He have to find another option as he should not be
compromising on the lives of people working in that company as bad quality roof could
fell on labor.! So he should not accept the offer.
