Ethical Lapses in the Workplace

I was very surprised by the statistics regarding ethical lapses in the workplace. Although, I find most statistical studies to be biased and unreliable there is always some truth behind them. I think a lot of people are willing to let minor occurences slide but who can decide what is important enough to report. If I was aware of something immoral going on in my business, I would definitely try to handle it myself before telling my employer. I just think it would be easier to deal with by involving as few people as possible. I would be worried though that by not reporting it, I could be implicated in letting it continue. I think it really depends on the situation and the solution is never black and white.
