will you tell a lie to cover for your coworker?

[b]well if he was really in need at that time then i would definitely find out for a reason to cover him or her up for the wrong doing that person has done. after solving something i will walk up to this person and talk to him or her not to do such thing again because next time around, my covering for that person won't work anymore and that he or she might lose his job. happy posting and happy mylotting![/b]

For me it would depend on who was more important to me the co-worker of the company. I would also have to consider whether reporting this person would make any difference to me personally. In other words, if I don't report him would anything bad happen to me or my paycheck. If not, then I keep my mouth shut. A reward for information might loosen my tongue if it was enough money. For most of the jobs that I've had in my life, I'd take a co-worker I knew for one hour over a company I worked for for a few years.

NO!!! I refuse to lie to cover for a co worker. A matter of fact one of our workers came to relieve me of his shift. He was responisable of handling alot of money and came into work stoned off his rear.. my manager was on vacation .. so I felt guilty leaving him in the store alone to run it .,. I called my district manager and told him of this .. he asked if I could return to work . I told him yes and he said when you get there have him clock out and go home .. So thats what I did . The guy did not go home but hung around the store .. before the night was over he walked up to me and handed me his keys to the store .. he never came back nor called .. he was not fired he walked out pon his own. I have nothing against people getting high but you don;t come to work like that when you are responcable for handling so much money .. plus working alone .

No, Their job is not as important as mine. I have a family to support and I need my job especially when we do not have many jobs in this area.

That's a bad situation to be into but I guess, the truth should prevail. You help him out in a way and you also help yourself in that situation, either that person has a dozen hungry mouths to feed, there's a way still to earn extra without STEALING... "Thou shall not steal..."
