It depends on the situation. But most of the cases convincing is an optimal solution instead of lying.

No sir, I can't.
One lie leads to many lies. It will make bad impression on company. Because of one lie company reputation will collapse. I can't lie. But I can manage by answering them with good reasons for an excuse.

No, I can't, because I said lie my company would safe from temporary, but not for permanent. By saying lie, in some condition, the problem would solve and you have helped your company from a bug, but I am sure "Because of telling lie in that situation, the company should face so many problems in future".

Usually, I'm not lying anyway if there is no need to it. But if my one lie helps to my company and that doesn't impact any problems in other's life then I am ready to do it.

No for sure. I am a person who strongly believes in maintaining ethics and principles. Even if lie may help the company in the short run, it won't justify in the long run. If the stakeholders come to know about the lie, surely the company will lose its reputation and I don't think such kind of reputation is needed at all. When someone believes us, we should be careful not to bluff.

Yes, it depends on the situation. But convincing is a better option than lying because if any problem occurs in future it will be difficult to handle.

Sir, I do not lie to advance personal or business goals. There is always an honorable way to succeed and I will always work towards genuinely earned success.
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.

If lying someone helps them in good way then lying is not a bad thing to do. So I would say it depends on the situation else lying is a bad thing to do.
