Hi there,
This is sort of a half baked dilemma I dreamed up, not to foster dissent, but rather to elaborate what we mean we say "boss".
You discover your boss's passcode and can change the system to reflect a pay cut, if you know he would never notice (he has so much already) would you do it? Or would your own self-awareness of pretending to be boss of your boss destroy you?
It is a little like the dilemma of how much poison would you swallow yourself to destroy someone else, but the emphasis is on the foundation of the boss-employee relationship rather than the dynamic interplay between the two, since it is a professional relationship.
How exactly would you justify such a move? How many workers would you be thinking of? Would they advise you against it?
Rather than leave this as cut and dried, I would like to point out that there was a guy who did this in real life, when he felt that his employer was holding back pay that he shouldn't be. So its not as if it never happens. (selah)
