Your managers lie don't they? You don't ever seem overconfident to a customer, sell them an upgrade they dont' need? You've never heard about a manager making up a reason to fire someone, so they can legally can them? You've never heard of a big company making up rebates to get more tax credit, or some other shady accounting. You've never heard of a service company creating a crisis, to create more demand, and raise rates? You've never heard of a politician in the closet or cheating on his wife, while criticizing those who do, until some get caught? You've never heard of David Letter man, powerful CBS figure making tons of money off of advertisers, pressuring interns new to the business to "hang out with him"? You've never seen your private information sold to a solicitor because it was on page 20 in the fine print? You really think people are honest on all the questions of an applicant personality, or psychological test, on EVERY question? You think your interviewer doesn't lie about anything in his or her life? Please children. Do you go to church on Sunday, and it's back to the same old "unethical" behaviors to typically (possibly covertly) display the rest of the week? Is the question is it right to lie or where do we draw the line,or is it just do as I say and not as I do? Most of the money makers at your company could care less about you. They just want more money, to spend on their luxurious life style. Your just their useful idiots (no offense, but it's very true). I think most of you are either naive or just hypocrites. Follow the law of course, but if you think fudging never helps, you're not paying attention! </p>anonymouse7345Thu, 08 Oct 2009 06:26:34 -0000
