The conflict is between a duty to people you'll never meet (the customers harmed) and loyalty to someone right in front of you. The detail that no one noticed is the whole test: it removes external pressure and leaves only what you think is right when getting away with silence is easy.
Why people split
One side treats harm to customers as the fixed point โ a colleague's discomfort doesn't outweigh people being quietly hurt. The other treats the relationship and proportional response as the fixed point โ fixing it discreetly protects the customers too, without ending a career over one mistake.

What the split says
There is no clean answer here โ the dilemma forces a trade between two legitimate moral claims. Once votes come in, this section will show how voters trade principles for consequences.
Worth asking yourself
- Would you defend this choice to someone affected by it?
- Is the principle worth the concrete cost?
