My bf has a responsible job. the other day, he and his 'boss', who was ultimately responsible at the time had a 'near miss' type incident which sounds very much like it was a culmination of small errors on the part of the 'boss' and some external information sources. this could have been serious, people could have been injured/killed and there could have been environmental damage.
my bf has been asked to give a statement to his company and he is concerned about giving them fuel with which to fire the boss, should they wish to do so. I have told him he should tell the truth and left it at that. i don't think he will, i think he's trying to choose his words carefully. am sitting here watching him write his statement. is it immoral to lie to protect someone in this situation? i don't know the nuanced politics
of this place but he reckons they will use incidents like this to sack expensive people rather than make them redundant, so more will be made of it than should be. i personally think the truth should be told, always. AIBU/a square?
