Has your boss ever asked you to do something you thought was wrong?......?

or made you uncomfortable?





Years ago, around Easter time, my boss asked me to scan in an Easter card with the crucified Christ on it and make a joke card out of it for her friends. I said-- "fire me if you want-- I won't do it". Has anything like that or worse happened to you?

Has your boss ever asked you to do something you thought was wrong?......?
My experience was not nearly as bad as yours.





I had a boss who was very insecure, and he didn't like a young man who was a fast rising star in the company. He wanted me to "help" him frame the young man, and "help" get the young man fired. I refused. My boss made working for him a living nightmare, other employees reported his abuse to Human Resources, he was demoted and transferred to another state, and I made a lateral move to another department.





The young man moved right on up with the company. My ex-boss now reports to him. LOL!!!
Reply:Not to me, but I have heard some horror stories out there. Good for you, standing up for what you know is right and yourself.
Reply:Like asking a 15 year old to sell beer? yeah, that happened to me.
