I will give you $1000 if you quit right now


That is the offer the internet shoe giant Zappos gives its customer service representatives after their first week of training according to Bill Taylor's blog on the Harvard Business Publishing website. Zappos believes that anyone who would accept this offer really isn't committed to the Zappos mission. 10% take the deal.


Is it ethical to take the job with the goal of earning the severance pay and leaving? A 'vacation' week worth $1000? Of course it is unethical, but you are welcome to disagree...
