Dodgy work ethicsChthonic asks: What's the naughtiest thing a boss has ever asked you to do? And did you do it? Or perhaps you are the boss and would like to confess.

The Graz is always greener...I was once doing an install in Austria for an American company. We'd arrived in Austria at the weekend, ready to start on Monday; the job was expected to take a week to install systems in Graz and Vienna.
On Monday, we discovered that someone in the US had failed to sort the paperwork out properly, and the equipment had been impounded at customs. We were told to tell the customers that the Austrian customs were being difficult, and they would have to pay for three of us to hang around "for a day or two" while it was all sorted out.
It turned out to take a whole week, basically having a holiday - including going to the Love Parade in Vienna - which the customer paid for.
I don't get jobs like that any more.
