What does that mean to you, stretching the truth or white lies? Seems like it is self rationalization for something that you know is not right. A way to convince yourself that what you are about to do or doing is "ethical!"
Again, the best test would be "is it legal" and if not than it is certainly not ethical. But what if it is Legal (no law against it) but it does not seem right unless you justify to yourself?
Heard about an employee that was asked by his boss what he would do if he knew a vendor had overpaid for a job the company did for them. The employee told his boss that he would tell the vendor of the mistake and pay the over payment back to the vendor. With that a short time later this employee was terminated for what the company called an economic roll back. Do you think the employee was let go for that reason or telling what felt was the best thing to do in that situation? Should the employee said something different, or was it a no-win situation. Maybe the best answer would have been "what do you think the company should do?"
Ethics!
