Decision question
Must Engineer B immediately cease distributing all brochures listing Engineer A as a key employee upon Engineer A's actual termination, or may Engineer B continue distributing previously printed materials while arranging for reprinting?
Focus
Engineer B's Post-Actual-Termination Brochure Cessation: Whether Engineer B's continued distribution of a brochure listing Engineer A as a key employee after Engineer A's actual termination constitutes an absolute ethical violation, and whether logistical difficulty or inadvertence provides any mitigation.
Option1
Stop distributing any version of the brochure listing Engineer A as a key employee the moment Engineer A's employment formally ends, accepting a temporary gap in marketing materials until a corrected brochure can be printed, regardless of cost or competitive inconvenience.
Option2
Continue distributing the existing brochure after Engineer A's actual termination while verbally informing prospective clients during negotiations that Engineer A has since departed, applying the same oral-disclosure standard used during the notice period as a transitional measure until reprinting is complete.
Option3
Immediately withdraw the existing brochure from active distribution and issue a written notice to all prospective clients who received the brochure during the notice period informing them of Engineer A's departure, while expediting reprinting of corrected materials.
