I'm just glad they didn't include an option about cooking the books. That would be too easy.

Hold up, you're telling me a company giving its underpaid staff a raise is an ethical dilemma? What kind of dystopian world do we live in?

I'm not sure I agree. Option C also seems like a tricky ethical issue - using bonuses to enrich directors at the expense of the company and shareholders.
