Life seems to be going very well for your close friend, a fellow PMP. She has taken a trip to France, bought a new car, and stocked her wine cellar?

 

witha half dozen expensive bottles of wine, all within the last six months. After a few cocktails one evening, she tells you her secret. The vendor she's working with on the $4 billion project she's managing has given her all of these items as gifts. Which of the following should you do? (Choose the best answer.)

A. You tell your friend these gifts probably aren't appropriate and leave it at that.

B. Your friend doesn't see a problem with accepting these gifts at all. You know this is a conflict of interest situation and should be reported as a PMP Code of Professional Conduct violation.

C. You and your friend have a long conversation about the gifts, and she decides to return them (with the exception of the trip) and not accept any more gifts in the future.

D. You're happy for your friend and say nothing.

In my opinion, since your friend does not have a problem with this issue.

You should remind her of Option B); a good friend would also remind her of

A) and C) ... It is not your place to report her unless you work in the same project and want to harm her reputation.

Advise her to seek advice from a supervisor what to do when this problem arises again, keeping in mind that in some societies it could be an insult not accepting these gifts and it is expected to be objective to this issue and the gift is not given to gain profit... just a normal event in this societies live.

I agree, the person should have not accepted any gifts ... 

Then there is the question is T-time a gift from a vendor or is it a business meeting... there is a fine line to walk, since T-time is in the US southern states like a meeting and usually the vendor pays.... same difference.

This is a question related to PMI Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct. As a PMI credential holder one is required to abide by the Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct developed & published by PMI. Keeping this in mind , I will go with option C and if my friend , a fellow PMP continues this unethical habit , I am ethically bound to report it to PMI as a PMP code of professional conduct violation.
