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.

this may be commonplaceI know of a web design company of about the same number of staff run by the most arrogant a-hole that ever existed. Even using the C word as an adjective, a modifier, a verb and a noun isn't strong enough to describe this guy. Despite charging a massive amount for allegedly bespoke (off-the-shelf) software and hosting he doesn't see fit to pay for software himself.
This one might qualify for a dodgy work ethics post on it's one. He charged a client about £60k to develop a specific website. After a long time the website worked but it was pretty awful ...compared to the one they released a month later under the guise of another company. Enough evidence was found to link the very attractive and professional looking version back to the company. They admitted it eventually.
Total and utter.. no there is no word strong enough.
PS, if you're in sales and your boss steals someone's website idea don't post the link on your facebook page!

My company's previous web-devs used to link to our website in their portfolio section. Then I was brought in to fix the utter arse-gravy they'd produced. Bastards kept the link in their portfolio section, but updated the thumbnail to reflect my complete, ground-up re-design. Cockjockeys.
