Suppose you have been asked to develop a report on the wishes of employees of a nonunionized company concerning benefits. After a day of interviewing you bump into an employee whom you do not know as you are leaving the plant. He tells you that the company’s general manager has told the employees to hide their true feelings and thus mislead you into thinking that they are quite happy with the way things are. Because employees do not want to rock the boat, he says that everyone is going along with that idea. The employee hurriedly walks off. If he is telling the truth, what ethical problems does that give you? What should you do next?
