For this week’s critique I will be reviewing an article by Yoree Koh, titled “Schools Are Turning Stimulus Funds Into Teacher Bonuses.” The article talks about how some states and school districts are using their stimulus checks to give bonuses to their teachers. Some schools are giving out one time bonuses varying from $1000 to $2000 while others are using the money to increase teachers’ pay up to 3.5%. These schools are doing this to boost the morale of teachers who to worked through the stressful stages of Covid by giving back to them a percentage of their federal grants. Even though, this sounds like a great idea some parents, government officials, and teachers alike aren’t the happiest about this move. They argue that the federal money should instead be invested into the students and revamp the curriculum. The ethical issue presented in this article is should the money be spent to increase the moral of teachers or be invested for the future of the students. Looking at it with consequentialism I believe that it would be best to give the teachers something back for all the work and learning curve of doing online classes and now switching back to in person. If teachers moral is up they’ll feel more appreciated and in turn be at the best of their ability while teaching students. States will also still have the rest of the money to spend however they want which could be used to invest into students.

For this week’s critique, I chose the following article “JPMorgan, Goldman Call Time on Work-From-Home. Their Rivals Are Ready to Pounce”. There is a current battle in Wall Street between the firms due to where their employees are working from. Some firms in the industry said that in the last year and a half where their employees have had to work from home due to the pandemic their numbers have never been higher and have not asked their employees to go back to the office. While other firms say that remote work is not New York, and mentioned how their employees can come up with greater ideas if they are in person and have made work in-person mandatory. In this week’s chapters, it mentioned how trust increases when employees are treated like managers, and the barrier between the two has been minimized. So why are wall street’s CEO forcing their employees back to work, when the data show that they are more sufficient at home? In a post-pandemic world, we are learning how to make our life normal again, but I believe that working remotely is the new normal. There have been many studies in various industries that show that 2020 was their best year, and where were their employees, at home. The ethical dilemma here is that there is a strong barrier between management and employees at wall street and there needs to be a technique and a new system through the deontology ethical theories in which employees are involved in the decision-making of these companies.
