I believe in maintaining honesty and integrity in all professional interactions. I wouldn't lie to cover up mistakes or actions that could affect my or the company's reputation negatively. However, if withholding the truth could save a life or significantly benefit someone without causing harm, I would carefully consider the ethical implications before making a decision.

I believe that this situation depends on how you handle it, there is a 90% chance that if you lie, even if it is said positively, it may lead to some other result, but if you do your work by speaking the truth, then next time such a situation will not be created and trust will be built. I would prefer to say the truth.

I will not lie for the company at all but if the situation is demanding and speaking a lie will help in the company's growth, then first I will think about all the consequences of that lie, the worst situations that can occur. I will prepare answers for those situations in advance and after assuring that it does not negatively affect my job.

Sir, for me, it will depend on the situation. I will always try to tell the truth; my first choice will never be to lie.
However, if there is a situation in which I must lie and my lying will not hurt the company, benefit the company, and, most importantly, no one will object to my lying, then only I will consider lying.

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.

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.

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.

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.
