When Lying Becomes Corporate Policy

Once a patient sought urgent admission to a Private Hospital in Colombo on advice of a consultant.He was told by the admission clerk that only luxury rooms were available.But when the consultant intervened non available rooms became available.Most consultants visit private hospitals on a rotation basis.chanelling counter personnel very well know whre the cosultant is available on the days the consultant is not available for cosultation in the particular hospital.The relpy for anybody reqesting ths information is 'Sorry,we do not know."!
I know young people who were corageous enough to leave their jobs rather than to lie on behalf of the employer.In fact I encouraged one young lady to leave her job for this reason and she found a better job and doing very well now.
Corporate lying is common on the third world than in developed countries.
