More Unethical Behavior

Yesterday morning, while eating breakfast with my grandson at Denny’s, I overheard a conversation between three home builders discussing unethical ways of receiving payment for their work. I was taken back that they would be so brazen to discuss their illegal activities in such a public area.

After listening for awhile, I cautioned them that they should discuss such activity in a public environment. One of them replied: “Well, you didn’t hear that.”

What surprised me more, was that after he told the other two what I said, they continued their discussion.

After paying our bill we left.

I am thoroughly puzzled and thought about whether or not to report them.

After my grandson asked why I was upset, I explained to him (in 8-year old terms) what happened. He just said: “That’s wrong Pops’.”

If an 8-year old can understand ethical behavior, then so should those contractors.

I reported them!

To my grandson: “I’m extremely proud of you for already knowing the difference in ethical and unethical behavior!”
