Is it ethically right for employers to punish employees for bad deeds committed off the job? When an individual's bad deeds become public, the public often demands and then celebrates retribution by their employer. This presentation explores the sources and justification for such demands, along with reasons why we ought to be cautious about celebrating such action by employers.
