I'm in the same boat as Martina. If I do something, even remotely wrong, my guilt is written all over my face. I have a hard time with people who are unethical or "hide things". I work with an administrator who tells the teachers there is no more money for books and resources for kids, yet manages to have his office redecorated. It completely frustrates me, but I just try to avoid him as much as possible considering we are working together. Since this person is my "boss" it is not going to be worth the stress it would cause in the work environment by confronting him. However, if he ever asks me to do something that is not right, I, like you, Lori, would have to say no. I lock horns enough with this person over educational issues and that I don't need that too. -- Spirit World

[> Jumping in a bit late here...... Every job I have had in the auto industry has done that to some degree or another. Some on a larger scale than others and I voiced a protest at that. I don't think you can be held responsible if you are just an employee, but i understand where you are coming from. At my current job, we strive to do things "by the book" as best we can but there are a few occasions where we fudge something small. Usually it is a payback situation where an insurance company cut us on something. It's a common ongoing thing that is "known" about even if it isn't completely ethical. The automotive business is terrible for this sort of thing though and you can't really fight it. If the pay is good and they treat you well.......I hate to say it but, stick with it and don't put too much thought into it. Most likely your competitors are doing the exact same thing. -- Colly, 11:40:23 11/20/03 Thu
