Jim was a crook. He embezzled $450,000 from his employer. When his employer found out about his misdeeds, before even conducting a thorough investigation, he went and gave all the details to a local newspaper agency. The next day Jim read his own story, with his own name, in the newspaper. Which of the following is correct? a. Publishing the story in the newspaper was a wrong thing to do because Jim's family will be embarrassed. b. Jim may have been misrepresented in the story by the newspaper agency and the company might face legal consequences. c. The company did the right thing by publishing Jim's identity in the newspaper because it punished him for stealing as well as served a warning to his neighbors who might also be at the risk of being defrauded. d. The company should not have put Jim's name and story in the paper because when other employees will come to know about it, they might leave the organization.

    b. Jim may have been misrepresented in the story by the newspaper agency and the company might face legal consequences.

    Explanation:

    Jim has the right to take legal action against the company for releasing the story. The investigation had not been completed and all facts had not been established by the company.

    Also the newspaper did not contact Jim to get his own side of the story before publishing, that could have revealed pertinent information about the case.
