http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Notice-PeriodBrochureDistributionConditionalPermissibilityPrinciple
Applied to
Firm Y brochure distributed during Engineer X's two-week notice period
Balancing with
Brochure Personnel Currency Disclosure During Active Negotiation Obligation
Expeditious Correction Obligation Upon Actual Knowledge of Marketing Material Inaccuracy
Concrete expression
Firm Y's continued distribution of existing brochures listing Engineer X during the two-week notice period is conditionally permissible because Engineer X is not a key employee in a significant practice area, and there is no evidence of intent to enhance firm qualifications through the listing.
Confidence
0.83
Importance
high
Interpretation
The two-week notice period is brief; the practical impossibility of immediate reprinting, combined with the non-pertinence of Engineer X's specialty, renders the continued distribution during this period conditionally permissible rather than violative.
Invoked by
Engineer Z Oversight-Negligent Firm Marketing Principal Engineer
Tension resolution
Permissibility during the notice period is conditioned on non-prominence and non-pertinence; the firm remains obligated to update materials promptly after Engineer X's actual departure.
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer X, an associate with the firm, gives two weeks notice of her intent to move to another firm.
Text references
Engineer X is one of a few engineers in Firm Y with expertise in hydrology, but the firm's work in the field of hydrology does not constitute a significant percentage of the firm's work.
Engineer X, an associate with the firm, gives two weeks notice of her intent to move to another firm.
