9. Plumbing in Panama
Rick was sent to Panama to help set up operations there and needed some plumbing
work done. When talking to a coworker John, he learned that John had a particularly bad
experience with Jose, a person he had hired to do some plumbing work in his home for
$50.
John told Rick about how Jose didn't do what he was supposed to do and how Jose
was a cheat. Rick told Jose, who had been recommended to him, what John said and
that he’d find someone else to do the work. The next thing John knew, he was arrested
and taken to court, where he was fined $5000 and then deported.
Why?
a) John used swear words while he talked
b) John caused Jose to lose a customer
c) John was in Panama illegally
d) $50 is below the minimum wage
