John notices Jimmy taking $5 from the cash register at the end of the night. Jimmy says that the company owes him for making him work three Friday nights in a row. Jimmy also asks John not to tell anyone. John’s ethical duty is to ______.

Taking money from the register without authorization is theft, even if Jimmy believes the company owes him for working extra Friday nights. John should not help conceal the theft or demand money to stay silent. His ethical duty is to report Jimmy despite Jimmy’s protests, so the correct choice is “Turn Jimmy in despite his protests.”
