Best Answer:
No one can be forced to lie at work. You can be presented with unpleasant choices, but they are still choices. If your errand required that you lie, then you are victimizing those who rely on you to tell them the truth. If you are willing to do that, what other things will you do to people for money? Where and how do you draw the smudge? One of the problems with violating ethical priniciples for someone who has offered you something of meaning (or, conversely, threatened you in some way) is that the person using you now know that you are corrupt and can be used again. The appropriate answer to a supervisor's request to lie is to refuse. To demonstrate that you have no principles lowers your worth to everyone you could trust and increases your value only to persons you can never trust. To make a contribution up your principles for money demonstrates that did not actually have principles, only guidelines that be not worth much to you or to anyone else.
I'd lie-no problem, if it meant my job or a better job. Compromise my principles? What are those. The days when general public had integrity and character are gone. They died about 40 years ago.
