Nancy's boss has just let her know that her customers' products are about to leave the company.And then he tells her there's a problem.
"The products were damaged(损坏) by someone in our company," the boss says." But this shouldn't affectthe use of the products.If the customers find it,we'll say it was caused by the trucking(货运)company that delivered(运载) the products."
Hearing this,Nancy feels uncomfortable. "But didn't our workers damage the products?" Her boss looks at her," Yeah,but the customers don't know that.I'll just say they were damaged while they were delivered.Don't worry,the customers won't even notice the damage."
Nancy's boss walks out.Nancy sits at her desk and she's not sure what to do.She knows it's dishonest to blame(将﹣﹣﹣归咎于) the damage on the trucking company.It's also dishonest to cheat her customers and give them less perfect products.
