Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ethical dilemma involves discrimination since Jeff is considering Sanjiv's age as a factor in his hiring decision. Discrimination based on age is illegal and goes against ethical principles. Even though Sanjiv may retire in a few years, he should be considered based on his qualifications and abilities, rather than his age.
