Lying, cheating on the job continues to rise

Lying, cheating on the job continues to rise November 29, 2007

The Ethics Resource Center has released their annual report on ethics in the workplace. No surprise, but the lying, the cheating, and the misconduct at work are getting worse.

More than 56 percent of employees have personally observed violations of company policy or law. And interestingly enough, 42 percent who witnessed misconduct didn’t report it.

We all see and hear things that aren’t right. In this fallen world we live, sin abounds.

But this raises the issue. Are people of faith supposed to rat out our coworkers? What should we do when we observe wrong-doing? Do we keep our mouths shut and just get on with our jobs?

What’s right?

Please, share with a friend if you feel moved.
