Honestly, I don't tell lies in any company because no of persons can work for that company. It is a life to earn money.

Well, I don't think there is any reason to lie to the customer at first place considering if you are selling or settling any dispute with the customer, also they would be notified by the services they got offered and that would reflect on the monthly bill. Ultimately, that would put a negative impression on the customer and might lead him/her switching services if false promises are made.

Hence, I strongly believe, be honest with whatever services we offer to the customer.

It's purely based on the situation, if my lie gives good result to the organization means I'll definitely do it, otherwise I don't.

Sir,

It will depend on the situation if my lie does not affect anyone including company than I will.

But sir firstly, I would like to avoid the lie because one lie leads to many lies and I will be harmful for the company reputation.

As long as I am in accordance with company and legal guidelines, I would do what is best for the company and try to effectively resolve any issues that may arise.

Lie. Every person tell lies in one way or other in day to day life. But the lie is harmful or not depends on the severity of lie. So, first of all, I will analyze whether the lie can harm someone not only me but also others. If not then next thing I will see whether the lie is worth lieing or not i.e whether the work can be done without lying or not. After analyzing I will take a wise decision whether to lie or not.

A big no! Word of mouth adds the best reputation. A lie leads to another. Stakeholders when get to know that it was all lie, down fall starts. It is wise not to.
