Is there a halakha book providing the guidance rules for proper behavior at modern working place? I mean not only relatively obvious "halakhot yekhud" or "kashrut" but taking into consideration intricacies of modern cubicle world. Like:-

  • Halakhic view on criticizing manager or other employees at meeting?
  • Is it good to report the failures of the manager to the manager above him?
  • Is it possible to give unrealistic schedules if my job security is in danger in case I say the truth?
  • Is it good to hire people while company is trouble...

etc...

There is a book called 9:00 to 5:00 by Rabbi Shmuel Neiman. It is focused on gender relations and is quite restrictive. I'm not going to cite it as an answer since it doesn't focus on the ethical as per the question, but I feel like it bears mentioning in this context. – yitznewton Mar 27 '12 at 21:20
