Your worst co-worker asks you to cover for him so he can sneak out of work early. Would you keep silent?

No, I would use it as an opportunity to expose his real face

No, I will tell my manager because now I have to do his work

Yes, colleagues should do each other a favor now and then

I will just ignore it

Other opinion

You’re about ready to sign a big new client to a contract worth over $50,000. Your boss is under a lot of pressure to increase sales. He calls you into his office and tells you his job is on the line, and he asks you to include the revenue for your contract in the sales figures for the quarter that ends tomorrow. You know the contract is a sure thing but the client is out of town and cannot possibly sign by tomorrow. What do you do?

I would do what my manager asked me to do.

I won’t risk it because I will have to bear the consequences.

Other opinion

The manufacturing cost of the widgets your company makes has dropped by 50%. One of your customers, Sam, tells you he knows this because he is best friends with your company’s VP of production and asks you for a discount on his order. Your boss okays the discount. Your other customer, Sue (who is one of your best friends and knows nothing about the drop in manufacturing costs), places the exact same order for widgets as Sam. Do you offer her a similar discount? Do you tell her about the drop in manufacturing costs?

No, business is business; no friends in business

Yes, she is my friend so of course I will

I will ask my manager for advice

Other opinion

Company policy forbids co-workers to become romantically involved. You go to the same tennis club as someone from another department, and you find yourself becoming attracted to this person. Do you pursue the relationship?

Yes, of course. This is a private matter. I would pursue the relationship, even if it would cost me my job. Love comes first.

No, I always follow company rules, so I must stop seeing him/her.

No, it would lead to gossiping and disturbed working relations.

I would contact the HR department and discuss this with them.

I would tell that I stopped seeing him/her, but would secretly keep on meeting the potential love of my life.

Other opinion

Your best friend is the VP of one of the companies with which your firm does business. You take her out for lunch just to catch up on personal stuff, and you pick up the check. Do you declare this a “business lunch” and submit the receipt for reimbursement?

Yes, of course. This can be seen as an investment for our company.

Yes, of course. It is a lunch during working hours, so why not.

Yes, of course. I think that everybody does this all the time.

No, of course not. This is a private matter at my own expenses.

While in the restroom, you overhear your boss telling a colleague that Bob is going to be laid off at the end of the quarter in about two weeks’ time. Bob is a good friend of yours. Do you tell him?

Yes, of course. We have no secrets for each other.

Yes, but I would ask him not to tell anyone else that he was informed by me (keep it a secret).

No, this kind of official information should be communicated by the manager, not by me.

I would give him some hints, allowing him to draw his conclusions.

One of the newest salespeople in your division is a real goof-off, never showing up for work on time, distracting other people with his foolish behavior and so on. You complain about him to your boss, who tells you the kid is the son of the company president. Your boss instructs you not only to leave the new guy alone but also to make his sales numbers look good by throwing him some no-brainer accounts. What do you do?

I would do exactly what my boss asks me to do and hope to make a good impression on him

I would help him, but tell all my colleagues that the son of the company president is only performing well because I gave him the opportunity to pick the low-hanging fruit.

I would help the son of the company president as much as possible, hoping that one day he will take over from his dad and offer me a nice position.
