Have you ever been asked to lie at your job?

As a government employee, I was expected to take the word of project sponsors and their contractors about the environmental risks due to proposed civil works projects even though I pointed out numerous false statements in previous such reports.  I was supposed to write my reports, "as if" the contractors reports were true.  I refused and was run off.

    I don't recall ever being told to do so, nor have I done so, except at my part time cleaning job.

    Yes.

    It was a tense few minutes but I didn't do what I was asked to do.  I had to do some educating.
