Final exams - a bright spot.

Most of the time, grading final exams is slow, routine, and dull.  But occasionally, something comes along that creates a bit of a bright spot.  Today I was grading a final that required the student to describe a computer related situation that would create an ethical dilemma.  The student described one in which management decided to adopt the use of new software that might eliminate some jobs at the company.  Here is the quote:

"Most of the employees are against the decision made by me and the management.  They think that use of the technology would made some jobs obsolete and reduce the number of employees.  Most of them are in fear of getting laid."
