[QUOTE="soberups, post: 860032, member: 14668"] Yes. 99.9% of the managment people I have dealt with over 24 years have been what I would call "wallet honest", meaning that if I dropped my wallet on the floor in their office they would return it to me the next day and all of my money would still be in it. These same people, however, would turn around and lie to me in a heartbeat if they were instructed to do so by their superiors. I can forgive them for that, especially if we are talking about a 53 year-old on-car sup whose only goal is to try and keep from getting fired for the next 2 years so that he can retire with his medical benefits intact. I call that "survival" dishonesty and for me it belongs in a completely different moral category than the "I want to get promoted" dishonesty that is the hallmark of the gung-ho corporate climber who will screw anybody over in order to get a raise. Both types of dishonesty are wrong of course, but the former is merely regrettable while the latter is utterly contemptible. [/QUOTE]
