Wow, this manager sounds like a real 'character'. Definitely need to get to the bottom of this - maybe he's collecting the details to create his own personal dating app or something. C and D, for sure!

Hmm, A and E. Just get the details and let the auditors sort it out. Maybe the manager's got a secret identity as a spy or something, who knows?

I'm with you, Cristen. This sounds like a real mess, but we can't just roll over. B and D all the way - gotta be a good little whistleblower here.

Oh man, this is a tough one. I'd be tempted to just do what the manager says to avoid any trouble, but that's probably not the right thing to do. Gotta go with C and D - cover our bases and get someone higher up involved.
