Karen Dalby, CFA, is a rising star at a major investment bank and has an extremely demanding schedule. To avoid "burning out" new hires, the bank has instituted a mandatory vacation policy which requires employees to take at least 5 days of vacation per year. At the end of the year, Dalby has taken no vacation, but is scheduled to travel to Fiji to take the mandatory 5 days. The bank’s most important client is suddenly targeted in a hostile takeover and asks specifically for Dalby to join the takeover defense team. Her supervisor, Hank Lone, CFA, asks Dalby to cancel her vacation and she complies. Lone is most likely:
A) |
in violation of Standard IV(C) "Responsibilities of Supervisors." | |
B) |
not in violation of the Code and Standards. | |
C) |
in violation of Standard IV(A) "Loyalty." | |
Lone has a responsibility to equally enforce all firm policies to demonstrate that all rules are equally important. |
