Step one: Pause
Does a situation make you uneasy? Are your instincts telling you something’s not quite right? Pause and consider how to approach the situation.

Step two: Think
Is your approach consistent with Microsoft’s culture and the values in the Trust Code? Does it build or maintain trust? Never sacrifice long-term reputation and trust for a short-term benefit.

Step 3: Ask
Ask questions and get help. Talk to CELA, Finance, or HR. Get help from your manager or another manager. These resources are here to help you make the right decision.
