You run a large company and one of your employees an accountant, who has worked for you for years and whom you have grown attached to, you have caught stealing money from the company hurting not your own financial well being but that of the shareholders. However when you confront him he explains that he needed to steal the money to pay for cancer treatment for his 8 year old daughter and that if you fire him there is no way that he will be able to support his family. Is it better to fire him since he has proven to be less than trustworthy in the interest of the company and its shareholders? Or do you let him keep his job because it was a noble cause, and he had proven himself trustworthy before now? He stole $ 300,000 USD from the companies quarterly profits which were $ 5 million USD not an insignificant amount. also if you do fire him do you also get the police involved?
