Grey Corporate Ladder

Create a story where an employee discovers that their company’s success is due to illegal operations.

This prompt allows writers to explore loyalty, integrity and the tempting allure of ignorance. Writers should consider the moral tension presented to the employee: expose and endanger their livelihood and those of their co-workers, or stay silent and benefit from the illegal activities indirectly. Explore the thin line separating personal gain and moral integrity in a high-stakes corporate setting.
