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.

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.

Depend upon situations, if my lie doesn't hurt anyone, depend upon consequences, if its a situation of someone's survival. Then I may tell lie. For personal benefit definitely won't tell lie. But I don't know when I last time lied and I hope that kind of situation not arise where I should compromise with my ethics.

Well, It's purely based on the situation. But personally, I don't like to lie and make excuses instead of making excuses and wasting my energy thinking about how I can cover up the situation I would prefer to find another way to resolve the problem talk to my team lead and find another way to resolve the issue.

Sir, It depends on the Situation. Because lie telling for a company is a good sign of good employee but Not sign of good person and loyal person. Its a kind of humanity. If our lie makes our organisation safe from anu trouble without hearing anybody. Then. You can tell lie. Otherwise, tell the truth. 100%.

Yes, only if the company has any chance to achieve any bigger goal and all that depends on the condition at the same time. I will think the negative side of lying if it affects in future if there are more side effects then I won't lie but if there is more beneficial for the company then I will definitely.

No sir, 1st of all one thing I want to say that the efficiency never becomes 100 % of anything if occurs then its mean it is ideal, there is no place of ideal in the real world. Instead of lying I will try to manage the situation. And it will also improve our strength to fight the situation.
That's all.
That's all.

That will depend on how big the lie is. If the lie involves huge risk for the company and for me then I would certainly not lie because my job is to uplift my company and not to assist in degrading it sooner or later. But if it is a small harmless lie with no foreseeable risk then I would consider lying.

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".
