Introduction

Employees come together in the workplace to help the company reach its goals, and as
employees must also realize we are individuals and thus bring our own personalities,
values, morals, and behaviour into the organization. The roles we take on in the organization
come from the jobs we have been hired to do and thus it is our responsibility to meld in
with and adopt the philosophy of the company. What happens, though, when we are asked
to participate in a standard or expectation that does not match with our personal values and
beliefs? Are company’s expected standards of conformity always legitimate, or are we
sometimes challenged by expectations we are not willing to meet? Will we be promoted?
Will we be terminated?
