I had a job filled with unethical management. The worst part is they felt they knew everything and weren’t concerned with legal ethical improvement. People that were concerned such as myself we were systematically harassed, threatened, and fired.

A near lifetime in property and real estate , I was pressured at times by many , I always refused , always told the actual facts , and I think overall that worked far better for. me..
And I'd just tell them " I'm sorry , I'm not comfortable with those actions , it's deceptive " .

They asked for it and I refused (data protection clauses), so they gave it to a teamlead.

[Babebytheshore85]

Yep and I reported her. Then she quit out of embarrassment

In my early career, I once faced a situation where a manager implied cutting corners on a project to meet a deadline. I chose to address the concern openly, proposing alternative solutions that maintained ethical standards while also meeting project goals. By focusing on communication and teamwork, we were able to find a mutually beneficial path forward without compromising integrity. It's vital to stay true to your values while seeking creative solutions in challenging situations.

Your early career is... now a new a. i. here lol.

No, because I would send management's idea directly to MD council. Losing license to treat patients or prescription of medication is too much loss, it's far much worth than possibly to lose a job.

[shortster]

Yes, and I refused. About a month later they started writing me up for performance issues until they got enough to fire me.

How did getting fired affect your ability to get another job? Did you mention to your next employer the situation you went through? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what were they pressuring you to do?

[Asker]

How did getting fired affect you? Did you become homeless?

It took me a while to get another lab job; but I worked for a parking company in the interim. Finances were tight, I almost had to take out a second mortgage. They wanted me to give error points to another employee for something that wasn't an error on their part. The other employee was one that they wanted to fire quickly.

I also work in a lab job (quality). At my previous company where I was laid off from, I had a senior coworker who falsified the data and got away with it. Mind you this was a large, well known, respected company in the field I work in. Another coworker was trying to write up a report pushing the blame on the customer for a problem. I resisted and we ended up getting new parts from the customer, and we ended up finding evidence that we were actually at fault. Both of them kept their jobs... I didn't. At my current company, I have to deal with the pressure from 2-faced management who don't really care about doing the right thing. It is a crazy world we live in. How the fuck do these people get into management? It is no wonder to me we have product recalls, scandals etc.

[Asker]

I want to elaborate on the above. For the first example, the customer sent us a part that was reportedly not working properly, but during the analysis the part was damaged, and my coworker appeared to have swapped a good part with it, retested this part as if it was the original unit and wrote up report claiming it re-tested ok. In second example, I don't think it was necessarily intentional, but there is bias toward putting blame on customer if no evidence is found. I forgot the exact details but I think we were in a situation where part was damaged during analysis (this can happen as parts are weaker than normal) and analysis hadn't found anything. So, I think my worker wanted me to write up the report putting the blame more likely on the customer than us. Fortunately, more parts were analyzed and evidence was found showing that defective product (s) had been sent to customer.

I work in real estate. Enough said.

Seriously, working to a Minister of Parliament? I neither confirm, nor deny.

Yes shit goes down that is not in your control.

You choice is to implement it efficiently, or resign.

[bddddd]

With my apologies to the people that think they should be paid for making fairy bread.

[strateguy632]

Luckily no, i might have felt compelled and broke a law.

[exitseven]

When I was in sales it was expected. It really was part of the job.

[Staximus]

A long time ago when companies could get away with that

[Douglas1180]

Two words: insurance companies.

[ariadneR]

Yes and I quit because of it.

[Jeff51]

[BDRick]

[nawtee_me]

[blackeagle007]
