Speaking about situation one where manager approached me to fudge some numbers on the financial statements so that the organization would appear profitable , I would never even have a thought to do so, though it pays me well for my travel interests, to clear my debts. such an act is unethical and it would undermine my dignity and that's against the professional behaviour.

I could think of my happiness but not at the cost of other's tears. Such an act if exposed leads to reputation loss to the company along with my professional career in soup. It would lead to an order of dissolution by the court which makes lots of people loose employment. The share price of the company would fall beyond an imagination , all the investors hard earned money is at stake.

I even lose peace of mind ,scared all time with the fear of, manipulation exposed to public.This would kill me from inside which i would never resist.

Keeping in view of all the above explanation i would not take up such a deal.

In the second situation where i uncovered a scandal taking place by my colleagues in the organization , I would prefer to resign the organization and even if possible i could change the city also. It is obvious that i come to remember all the moments with those colleagues which will no longer exist.I lose concentration on the job I loved as I blew up the whistle all my mind wanders around the situation.I love my job and neither my boss nor the organization. hence I would choose to change the organization and start with a new job with greater peace.
