Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.
The interviewer asks what you would do if a coworker asked you to do something unethical because they want to assess your moral compass and decision-making skills in difficult situations. It is important to remain ethical and professional in the workplace and not compromise your values to please others. If faced with this situation, it is best to politely decline and report the incident to a supervisor or Kaiser Permanente HR representative. Assure the interviewer that you always prioritize your integrity and reputation in the workplace.

"If a colleague were to ask me to do something unethical, I would respectfully decline and emphasize that such actions contradict my personal and professional principles. It is vital to uphold ethical standards and maintain a high level of integrity in the workplace, and I will not compromise on this issue under any circumstances. I will encourage my coworker to rethink their request and suggest alternative solutions that align with our organization's values. I would also document the incident and report it to my immediate supervisor so they are aware of the situation."

I would respectfully answer that it does not align with my ethical or moral behavior to do something like that.

Jaymie's Feedback
Integrity is a core value of Kaiser Permanente, so be sure to weave that into your answer. Also, reassure the interviewer that you would report the behavior, especially if there is a company policy around the issue (I.E., theft, patient abuse, falsifying documents, exposing patient information, etc.).
