I've seen some serious hardcore bullshitting on other people's resumes before. While the truth can be stretched, in some of those cases the rubberband already broken liao. -

"Using this will save you $$$!"
Fact: Not spending any $$$ to use this will save me $$$ already.
"Your life will improve by using this!"
Fact: My life will improve by not spending $$$ on this and spending it elsewhere.
"This will replace everything else you ever need to own!"
Fact: If this is so good, I don't think you need to look for me, the first 2 lines above would be equally redundant. -

I heard on radio recently that whistleblowers who inform the authority if their company is using pirated software get a reward (forgot how many thousands..) heard that on gold 90Originally posted by the Bear:been talking to people.. seems that there are many bosses/employers/companies which tell their staff to lie to their clients...
not the little lies like "i'm not in the office now" or "he'll be back in a while"
but the big ones which causes the client to think or behave in another way... like sending the junior guy there and saying that he's the senior consultant, or that your company has a network of contacts when it doesn't?
seems like a lot of people would do it...
i won't... and i've put that straight to some bosses in the past before...
so, they are thinking of whistleblower laws now..
what do you think will happen when such laws that protect the whistleblower come into being?
and in the meantime, if you were in that position, told by the company to lie, what would you do? -
yeah.. i think MicroSloth and the Business Software Alliance or something like that, giving up to about $20k
all can be solved if the companies decide to go with open source software like LinuxOriginally posted by foxwalk:I heard on radio recently that whistleblowers who inform the authority if their company is using pirated software get a reward (forgot how many thousands..) heard that on gold 90 -
I guess the only answer to this is :
Do what is right and not against your conscience.
That depends on ur interpretation

I would do a double agent actOriginally posted by the Bear:what i don't understand is that it'll eventually come back and bite them.. do the bosses think that the kar-kia will take the bullet for them?
Say yes to boss and whisper to the client about the truth. When you get the client's ear, your company's client can become your new boss... -
20k? wow...blow whistle? Sure...People would blow other things for that amountOriginally posted by the Bear:yeah.. i think MicroSloth and the Business Software Alliance or something like that, giving up to about $20k

My general manager never tell me to lie. But she herself lie to staff about other staff.
My immediate superior recently tendered his resignation and asked to see the chairman. The general manager so scared of him complaining about her. She went around telling people that my immediate superior complaint about them.
The general manager also use the Boardmembers and chairman's name to bully my immediate superior even though he's not even supposed to be reporting to her. She will send email to my immediate boss telling him this and that, claiming that it's an instruction from the board.
How come somebody of this low character be a general manager? I don't understand. -
it is by being terrible that they are promoted... sad to say most people promoted are like that...
where i work, one just bit the hand that fed him... he's being a bloody disgrace and the whole organisation is disgusted with him... however, he's jumped ship and somehow, we kinda pity the other organisation...Originally posted by Honeybunz:My general manager never tell me to lie.
