Yes, I said, Saturday Scruples. (Now if only Lady Phoxxe had TrackBack turned on her actual SS page, rather than having to drill through to her blog to get to it.)
1. Your boss demands to know what a co-worker is saying behind her back. It's not flattering. Do you say?
I'd probably say, but put the best spin on it I could.
2. You pick up a lottery ticket for yourself and a friend. Your friend's number is drawn before you can deliver her ticket. Do you switch tickets?
Tempting ... but no. But I would certainly tell my friend I hadn't, and it would be a favorite anecdote of mine. Honest, I may be, but humble I'm not.
3. You've been pounding the pavement looking for work. A company where workers are on strike offers you a job. Do you take it?
It would ultimately depend on how desperate our family economics were. Assuming it wasn't lose-the-house time, no, I wouldn't. Not that I necessarily cavil at crossing a picket line (not knowing the issues involved), but it's not a good, long-term employment prospect, whichever way the strike turns out.
