Case Study#4
This case of Ronnie is a normal incident
in most if not all of the government institution. People oftentimes gave money
to the public or government employees as a form of gratitude for a job done or
tobe accomplished. If I was in Ronnie’s shoes, I will return the money to Ms.
Santos because I know that being a government employee accepting money is a
prohibited act.
It is very unethical for a government
employee to receive any amount from the people whom I served because being a
public servant it is my duty and obligation to serve the people to the best of my
ability as well as to perform my responsibility with all my heart without
expecting any amount in return. I will just explain to Ms. Santos the reason
why I cannot accept the money. I will explain to her that I know she is just
happy and satisfied of my performance but despite that it is not necessary to
reward me with money. I bet she will understand. Moreover, I will tell her also
that it is my responsibility to serve her being a public servant. Furthermore, I
will thank her for the offer and appreciate her kind act of gratitude. I that
instance, I can make her realize that what she had done is prohibited which
later on curtail the same act to other government employees.
