You are a sales rep for Solid Gold, a jewelry wholesaler that specializes in high-end gold jewelry. The holidays are coming, and one of your best customers, the owner of an independent jewelry store, has sent you an expensive gift in appreciation for all that you have done to help her increase her business over the past year. Your employee handbook makes it clear that you could be fired for accepting it, but you didn’t actually accept it; it just turned up at your home, neatly wrapped, with a card attached. What will you do?
Even if no one will know, I will still be not accepting the gift.
I will mention that being an employee of Solid Gold I will be unable to accept the gift. It is because I have to abide by the law as mentioned in the employee handbook.
Yes, I will return the gift and also send a thank you note for sending a gift and my apology for accepting the same.
In my opinion, I will not be accepting the gift because I will return the gift and ask the customer to we are not allowed to accept gifts and it is mentioned in the employee handbook. I being an employee of the company, Solid Gold has to abide by the law.
I will narrate the entire event to my sales manager.
Note: If you liked the answer please give an Up-vote, this will
be quite encouraging for me, thank you!
