Question 21
You are a project manager for a company that completes work for other organizations. Your company has a policy of not accepting gifts from vendors or customers over $100 in value. Your project work has saved the customer nearly $100,000 per quarter and they are thrilled with your work. The customer knows about the policy your company has, but really wants to show you their appreciation. They present you with a plaque and a $500 gift card for an electronics store in your hometown. Your organization will never know about the gift card if you don’t report it. What should you do?
- A Use the gift card and don’t tell your company. You have saved the customer a significant amount of money and they want you to have a reward.
- B Keep the plaque and donate the gift card to your favorite charity.
- C Accept the gift card, but only use $100 of the card because your company has set this as the limit.
- D Politely decline the reward because of your company’s policy.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
You must politely decline the card because its value is more than $100. 1 is incorrect because this is a clear violation of your company’s policy. 2 is incorrect as well. Donating the card to charity would require you to first accept the card. This is also a violation of your company’s policy. 3 is also incorrect. While this seems like a feasible idea, the card has a value of $500. In order to use just $100 of the card, you’d have to accept the card, which violates your company’s policy.Discussion
