___1.
I would not report it if I knew that a fellow employee
was leaving the job early each day. Employees should not inform
on their fellow workers.
___2.
If employees I was supervising took off their helmets for
a while, I’d simply look the other way. There are times managers
need to ignore safety violations to get the job done.
___3.
If I was traveling on business and couldn’t remember how
much I’d spent on taxis or lunch, I’d simply estimate the
amount. It is not always possible to keep accurate expense
records.
___4.
There are times when an employee has to keep unpleasant
information from the boss. For example, if I learned that
several of my co-workers didn’t like her, I would keep that
information to myself.
___5.
We advertise that the hair tonic we sell prevents
baldness. My boss and I know it’s a lie. He argues, “If our
customers choose to believe it, that is their business. I just
follow my boss’s orders.
___6.
Sometimes you have to take care of personal business on
company time. My brother likes to send me e-mails at the office,
so I sometimes take a little time to write him back.
___7.
I know that even the best salespeople can’t sell more
than 20 kits in one day. But if I say everybody has to average
20 kits a day, they’ll work harder. If they don’t meet the
quota, I can always act nice and give them another chance.
___8.
Since management’s goals are carefully developed, I
should take whatever steps are necessary to achieve them.

___9.
The customer said, “If you can make delivery by
Thursday, you’ve got a deal.” I knew we would ship on Friday,
but I said, “No problem” to make the sale.
___10.
Long distance calls don’t cost the company nearly as
much as they cost me, so I figure as long as it is not being
used for company business, it’s O.K. for me to use the office
telephone.
___11.
I
would authorize payment in the form of gifts or entertainment
to customer representatives in order to win a large contract,
even if it is against company policy. After all, when you are
in the business of selling, the most important thing is the
sale.
___12.
Bending and occasionally breaking company rules and
procedures is expected in business. Our company has a rule:
Treat customers like you would your own family. Well,
sometimes it’s necessary to lie to your own family, isn’t it?
___13.
While it is important to check and report short
shipments to our suppliers, there is no need to tell them
about overshipments. The other day we received a bill for two
cases of spare parts. But the shipper goofed, because we
actually received four. I won’t say anything about it.
___14.
My sister asked me to make 200 copies of a flier. I
said that I would. There is nothing wrong with using the
company copier for personal or community business.
___15.
Taking home inexpensive items like pencils, paper
clips, and envelopes is one of the benefits of an office job.
I do it all the time.
