“It must be Monday” is a saying often heard on a day when things just aren’t going right. For example, I had one of those days last Friday. It started out as soon as I got up and put my pants on backwards. I didn’t think much about it, but then I spilled coffee grounds on the kitchen floor when I was brewing morning coffee. That’s when I muttered something about it seeming to be Monday. A little later when I was about to enjoy the first cup of freshly-brewed coffee, a lone housefly buzzed around my head and landed on the rim of my coffee cup. In an attempt to swat the fly, I spilled coffee on my shirt. Not only that but I spilled the bottle of vitamins when I was getting ready to take my one daily vitamin. Then later, when I was starting the car to go on a quick trip to Craig, I discovered that I wasn’t wearing my eye glasses. They were still in the house on the table where I’d left them when putting on my make-up. A Monday, indeed.

A coworker tells you their salary in confidence—and proves everyone else is underpaid. Do you share it?

A coworker privately tells you their salary and asks you not to repeat it. You later realize the figure is strong evidence that several equally experienced colleagues are being underpaid.

When does fairness outweigh a promise of confidentiality?
