Also here is a link to an article that I found within that site that proposes an interesting question. Let me know what you think, but I think I might have to donate the money! Sounds like a win/win to me...

Wow....considering she would have made a nice and easy $10,000 for a simple investment of only $1,000 really shows what type of person she is...excluding the fact that her sales manager and superiors would have objected it, she thought that the decision not to pursue it was ultimately the best one, because of the consequences that would abrupt and her loyalty in general.
Hey Britton, good find with the site, definitely useful for the blog. As far as the story goes, I think Mary would have been unethical in donating the money to the school. I don't think donatations made with selfish monetary gains in mind count as charity. Although Mary made the right choice, I wonder about the ethics of the company. She was .001% away from her her goal. What is 1,000 dollars when you are talking millions. If the company was ethical they would encourage her to donate the books to the school then give her a pro-rated bonus,as she is obviously a productive salesperson.
