A major pizza chain has hired you as the new Assistant Director of Health and Safety. Your first task is to assess the long term viability of the company's signature "Quick Delivery" campaign. Customers receive pizza at their door in under 28 minutes, or it's free.
As part of the position, the company invites you to choose a mentor to work with as you take on this new role.
[[Hmm, who would be a good person to advise me?|You're Hired!]]For the first week you conduct some internal and external investigations.
Your first major discovery is that the 15% increase in sales works out to a whopping $7.2 million dollars in profits.
You then discover that in efforts to avoid a court case, the company made payments to the injured driver to cover medical and rehabilitation costs (plus some extra for pain and suffering) and the family of the deceased driver.
The total amount paid to the injured driver will end up at about $1.2 million, while the family of the deceased driver received $1.5 million.
Understanding the financial outcomes of these cases, you now have to decide if you should recommend (link:"cancelling it")[(set: $choice to "cancel")(goto:"Rate Your Feeling")], (link:"continuing the campaign")[(set: $choice to "continue")(goto:"Rate Your Feeling")], or (link:"changing the campaign")[(set: $choice to "change")(goto:"Rate Your Feeling")].You present the results of your fact finding to the boss. You acknowledge that after calculating in the costs of settlements paid to the drivers, the company still generated $4.5 million from the campaign.
Despite the profitability of the campaign, however, you recommend cancelling it to align with the number one company value of treating everyone like you'd want to be treated. This is an active part of the brand and is front and centre on the company website.
Your boss spends a few minutes looking over the numbers and considering your feedback before [[providing her reply]].
You bring all the numbers to your boss and point out that although unfortunate accidents have occurred, the campaign is still highly profitable, netting $4.5 million for the company.
Given the settlements and resulting profits, you think the best idea is to continue the campaign as is.
That's when your boss gives you [[the news]].
You bring your findings to your boss and point out that after the payouts for the drivers' accidents, the campaign still brought in $4.5 million dollars.
In light of the profit, but uncomfortable with promoting a campaign that increases the chance of injury and death, you recommend changing the campaign to only apply Monday to Friday, so that drivers are not under as much pressure during the busier weekend ordering times.
Your boss considers your recommendation and then provides [[her feedback.]]Your boss is unhappy. Despite the profitability of the campaign putting drivers' lives at risk is unacceptable, especially in light of the number one company value of treating everyone like you'd want to be treated. This is an active part of the brand and is front and centre on the company website.
Unfortunately, your boss explains, you don't seem to be the right fit for the company.

Having selected (print: $mentor) as your mentor, you familiarize yourself with the campaign.
The campaign started last year and has already driven profits up by a remarkable 15%.
However, after the launch of the campaign, two delivery drivers have been in accidents -- one losing her life and the other sustaining significant injuries.
After being welcomed to the company, your boss asks for your opinion about continuing the Quick Delivery campaign and lets you know that your recommendation will be a major component of your probationary evaluation.
Your first step is to [[collect the facts!]](set: $reflection to "")
You meet with (print: $mentor) in a coffee shop. After a bit of small talk, your mentor looks you right in the eye and asks a question.
"What do you think you've learned from this decision?"
<input type="text" size="100" name="reflection" value="Your response.">
<button type="submit" onclick="CustomScripts.updateVariable('reflection')">say it</button>
[[Click here after you've said it|Response]]"(print: $reflection)" (print: $mentor) repeats what you said back to you. "Hmm. Interesting reflection."
While you finish your coffee, you think about what might have happened if you made a different choice somewhere along the way.
