When in Doubt, Ask Yourself …
How will it look in the newspaper?
Are my actions legal? Do they comply with the Company’s Code of Conduct?
Am I being fair and honest? Will my action stand the test of time?
How will I feel about myself afterwards?
Will I sleep soundly tonight?
What would I tell my child to do?
Remember: When in doubt, seek help – you will be supported.
