Trust and Trustworthiness in Professional-Client Relationships
D
NEW (to us)
An excellent paper on ethical relationships by
Dr. William Lawson
Arm & Hammer
So how ethical would you say this is? How likely would
it be
that someone would even catch them at it? How much money will they
make if no one notices? What could you do about it even if you noticed? They
didn't actually say 25 more loads than the last box you bought, did they?
Could be 25 more loads than someone else's product. Would you buy something
else, change your brand loyalty, even with proof of such shenanigans? (Author
anonymous by request.)
