A co-worker who has to leave work early to deal with a personal matter asks that you complete some time-sensitive paperwork and turn it into your supervisor before leaving at the end of the day. You agree and urge your co-worker to leave in order to address his personal matter, assuring him it will be taken care of. At the end of the day, you neglect to carry through on your promise and do not complete the paperwork. The next day, your supervisor chastises your co-worker, indicating that a reprimand will be placed in their personnel file because of the failure. Your co-worker does not disclose that you had promised to complete the work. Using the Golden Rule as a guideline, you should: .

intervene and tell the supervisor you had assumed responsibility for the paperwork and forgot

Explanation:

The golden rule is based on a principle of reciprocity and it states that one should treat others the way they want to be treated.

Different religions overtime have the same principle embedded in their doctrines.

In the given scenario where a coworker told you to compete some work for him before leaving and you failed to do so, when the coworker is being reprimanded you should take responsibility for the paperwork and say you forgot.

This is only fair on your coworker seeing it wasn't his fault the work was not done.

Also when you treat people fairly you can also be expected to be treated fairly too.

your just wasting your lol
