No, as company runs with customer's rather than employees, Whatever may be the situation, a small lie leads to a loss of a valuable customer if he knows the truth, A lie which is beneficial to company is said when there is no risk in lying.

It totally depends on the situation, if my one lie will be beneficial for 10 peoples and don't hurt any personal ego or prestige only then I can otherwise I will Never lie. Because Lie cannot remain hidden for a long time. It may be caught.

Sorry, sir. I will not lie. I respect myself and my organization. If I told to lie to any stakeholders of my organization, it may be benefit for my company temporarily. Definitely not for ever. It will affect the company negatively later.

This depends on the situation.
As we are in corporate, sometimes lies are necessary to save our clients or customers.
I will definitely lie if it is necessary to save our company repo.
But I will not lie if it hurts some moral values.

I will try to resolve the problem instead of lying. If I lie for my company soon or later the truth will reveal one day it may affect my career or my company's reputation. So, I will try to find the solution to the problem, rather lying.

Sir, in my views any work done by telling a lie is not persistent. Rather, I will look into the matter and to the best of capabilities I would try to solve the problem so that the work done by me pleases the clients and the company too.

If I blurted out a lie, I'll make sure to turn it into a truth so as to keep the interest of our clients in our company without loss of trust. Trust is the only bridge you can rely on in business. You lose that, you lose your business.

Absolutely not, I would rather face truth and it's consequences. If I am able to lie for the sake of company then I can lie to anybody including myself to justify almost everything. I would walk away with my head up not the other way.

Sir,
Firstly I will see, by saying truth what amount of loss is caused, if the loss is less I would prefer truth and if major I'll try to find some other solution. If that doesn't help I would lie as long as it does not harm others.

Sometimes small lies are ethical for a job. If a little lie helps the organization to earn more profit then I will lie and moreover both the Art Of Kurukshetra & Chanakya's Bussiness Tricks gives a thumbs up to the ethical lies.
