Unethical Business Behavior
https://www.wsj.com/business/elon-musk-illegal-drugs-e826a9e1?page=1
Elon Musk ,as a leader of a
successful and thriving establishment; Tesla and Space X, have been seen at
events and parties where he has reportedly to be using several kinds of hard
drugs not considering his global status and it affects the brand he represents.
Additionally, it was gathered that the directors of his companies also who also
doubles as his friends are always seen together at places where illegal drugs
are freely distributed.
According to Tesla code of
conduct, it is prohibited for all employees, including the executives, to use
drugs within the workplace or even out of the office, However, based on this
article, it seems as though the frontrunners of Tesla clearly violates the
rules.
Investors have often turned a
blind eye to concerns about Musk, including his drug use, especially when Tesla
is doing well, investors and people close to the board. Rice, the director
who didn’t stand for re-election in 2019, raised concerns about his drug
consumption more than once inside conversations with board members about Musk’s
increasingly erratic behavior during her two year tenure on the board, according
to people familiar with her concerns. She informally asked whether the board
should investigate and was brushed off.
This behavior does not
demonstrate Ethical leadership, not just to the employees but to the public
people. I think this can also be related to the Might-equal-right Principle.
Google Violated Its Standards
in Ad Deals
Google charges a premium from
major brands promising that the ads it places will run on high-quality sites,
before the page’s main video content, with the audio on, and that brands will
only pay for ads that aren’t skipped, however research has shown that Google
actually places ads in small, muted, automatically-played videos off to the
side of a page’s main content, on sites that don’t meet Google’s standards for
monetization, among other violations.This is a bridge of trust and goes against
Business ethics referencing one of the Module materials (Esprit De Corps) which
talks about Integrity as one of the factors of virtues when in business.
