I respect this one high-level boss at my job.  We have worked together for years at different companies. But today, HE ASKED ME TO FUDGE DATA. Everyone else in the room supported him, saying it was not a big deal.  I refused.  The big boss said "Fine. Email me the document and I'll fudge it."

I am seething right now.

I had a somewhat similar experience when I worked at an expensive deli a few years ago. We ran out of organic eggs, and the owner told me to put the regular eggs in the organic containers. I balked, and he rolled his eyes at me and did it himself. I quit soon thereafter, and never shopped there again... I know it's not THAT big a deal, but it was indicative of the way the guy did business - dishonestly, and short-sightedly.

Jon & Bryan - that is utter horseshit, and I'm sorry. It's super disappointing when you find out that people around you are not on ethical solid ground.

If nothing else, the consolation is that you guys both passed the diagnostics check. Both of you said It's not a big deal ... sure, but if these guys fart around on the small stuff, how would they behave when shit really goes down? That's what always comes to mind when these "little" tests present themselves. You guys are on the Right Path, and those guys are weasels.

Maybe you guys can help me with this. Is it normal for your roommates boyfriend to spend five out of seven nights a week at your apartment? To the point where it's more like three people living there than two? I'd like to know what other people my age think because I for one hate it.

Stick with your integrity, Jon, that kind of crap can hang over your head for a long time.  Sometimes even as blackmail.

I hate weasels.

I have a picture of a weasel one of my cats killed a few years back.  Maybe I should send it to you.
