If my lies benefit people and also benefit my organisation, then I will do so. Otherwise, I won't lie.

Sir, I don’t like to lie. But if a small lie helps the company and no one gets hurt, then I can do it. Like a doctor tells a child, "Injection will not hurt. ".

Yes, sir I could lie for the sake of the company,
Sometimes, nothing can go perfectly every time.
So subconsciously, I could lie in intense situations to protect the image of the company. Ethically, that might be wrong and might be handled with truth, but it depends on who we are dealing with.

I will try to resolve the problem instead of lying. If I lie to my company sooner or later, the truth will be revealed one day, which may affect my career or my company's reputation. So, I will try to find the solution to the problem, rather than lying.

Honest and sincere deserves success not just a lie. A thing which couldn't be succeeded by hard work and honesty. A lie can't make it. So I won't.

The thing is that the most expensive thing in this world is not a car, house or any other but its the trust and I thing firstly.
I would listen to the problem of why the company is telling me to lie to others, and if I can give a solution to that problem, I would suggest it to the company and try to solve it.
I would try to be honest and it depends on whom I have to speak to. If its the public, I would try not to do so as the company is the cause of the public who consumes the products produced by the company.
So, company should try not to lie and secondly speaking truth can cause a short-term harm but speaking truth and assuring the public that the company will solve it would lead to gain a positive impact in the minds of the society which would build goodwill and the consumer will come to the company and give some solutions on the problem.

It depends on the situation. If telling a lie will benefit the organization without causing harm to other people, I might consider it.
However, I will not lie if it goes against my values.

It seriously depends on the situation. If it helps society, customers, the company and me, then I will. I hate lying if it damages others.
