Values are the rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should or shouldn’t, good and bad. They also tell us which are more or less important, which is useful when we have to trade off meeting one value over another. (http://changingminds.org/explanations/values/values_morals_ethics.htm)

The employees that was charged for something they didn’t receive was reimbursed. The so called supervisors had to payback thousands of dollars they stole from the company and they were terminated without possibility of
