1 Judy's uncle mentioned to a friend of his that Judy had recently started work at a residential interior design studio only a month after graduation. This friend thought that hiring Judy would be a great way to get some design ideas “on the cheap.” The friend's project involved the remodeling of his kitchen and family room. Judy was excited about doing a project like this and jumped at the opportunity. She did not mention the project to her boss, as she felt that it did not need to involve the employer. Judy plans to do the project in her spare time and charge the client an hourly fee paid directly to Judy.

2 Mary is inspecting a job site designed by her firm, a small commercial design studio. She notices that the wallpaper installer is using the wrong wall covering in the reception area. She attempts to call her boss about the mistake, but is interrupted by the client, who has questions about other areas of the project. She never gets back to her boss that day. A few days later, Mary finds that the wrong paper was installed in the reception area.

3 Katie has been working for a design firm for five years and has gained much experience in a design specialty area. She became disgruntled because she did not receive a raise and promotion recently that she was expecting. Other design firms have approached Katie in the past year about moving to their firms. After finally deciding to look for another job, she first tries to talk to the owner about her concerns and is told she is still not eligible for a promotion. Now thoroughly discouraged, she takes plans of projects she has been involved in and includes them in her portfolio for the job interviews, without permission of her current employer.
