What would you do if someone in management asked you to do something unethical?
MhokzPatio
First, figure out if this is so important to you that you would be willing to lose your job over.
Second, figure out a better way to handle the issue.
Then talk to the person. Explain your ethical concern. Explain the potential consequences to the company if the unethical act is noted by the media or a customer. Recommend a better path.
If you are not willing to lose your job over it tell the boss that, despite your personal feelings, you will do whatever path he directs.
If you are willing to risk losing your job, ask for a decision. If you cannot live with the decision then communicate your concerns to his boss and, if necessary, higher in the company.
-If the boss is supported you could ask that someone else be assigned to the task. Or you could quit. Or you could simply refuse to do it and probably be fired.
-If the boss is overruled you should discuss with the higher manager your career concerns, as you have become a "whistle-blower" and all but an extraordinary boss will find a way to ruin your career if you stay in your current position.

If you were my supervisor and ask me to do something that I disagreed with I would.. repeat what you said to me and ask you if that was what you said.

I would let you know that I wasn't comfortable doing it and if it was against company policy I would go talk to someone about it.
