NER: semi-ethical question
DH's old firm had a discount program for employees and their families. ?It's really good, like 20-30% off of stores I actually shop at. ?DH has since left the firm and now works for their competitor. ?Old firm still send me their discount codes. ?Is it unethical for me to use them? ?I feel like it is, but there is a really tempting deal going on right now.
Re: NER: semi-ethical question
They screwed up - you're just capitalizing. Think of it like if a pitcher throws bad pitch is it wrong for a hitter to put it in the bleachers?
Because someone screwed up doesn't turn an otherwise unethical action into the realm of an ethical one.
Think of it this way, someone screws up and drops a $100 bill on the ground, is it right to keep it?
If they send you the coupons, then they're inviting you to use them. That's my theory, and I'm sticking with it.
they aren't out any $$ by giving you the coupons as opposed to someone else. I don't see how its like dropping money on the street.
It's not. Just giving a counter example to Mr. T capitalizing on a mistake rule.
Agreed with all 3 of the above, lol. It's still unethical, but I won't judge you if you still use them.
I'm thinking of using my old employee id to get free admission for myself and 5 friends to the natural history museum... it's unethical, but I'm still considering it.
Exactly. The question wasn't "should I do this." The question was "is it ethical."
Well...they did make him spend January in North Dakota. ?
As someone who works for a company who gives out employee coupon codes, no I don't think it's unethical and I think the company would be happy for you to use them. I know we would.
Coupons are not a gift from heaven, they're a marketing tool used to encourage purchases. They make the company money; they wouldn't hand them out if they didn't.
We have specific coupon codes for different companies, and employees will often be sure their work email address is on the order so they are "eligible" for the discount. We couldn't care less. Eligibility is determined by whether or not you have the code, nothing more, nothing less.
If they were concerned about overuse of the coupons, they would 1) scrub their email database more carefully, and 2) put in other eligibility requirements. I guarantee they've discussed the possibility that non-employees could get/use the code, and determined it's not a concern. We have this discussion with every new coupon code/email offer.
ditto this.
for the record, i'd use the coupons without a second thought.
Exactly. They're not really giving you anything for free - they're getting business from it.
